30 RHOPALOCERA. 
Hab. Nicaracva, Chontales (Belt). 
We have only a single female example of this species, agreeing with Dr. Felder’s 
Plate. The specimens so called in Messrs. Butler and Druce’s paper are best referred 
to D. relata. 
4. Dircenna lonera. 
Dircenna lonera, Butl. & Druce, Cist. Ent. i. p. 957; Butl. Lep. Ex. p. 189, t. 50. f. 2°. 
2 D. relate similis, sed alis latioribus, et maculis anticarum hyalinis (nec flavis) confluentibus ; fascia lata 
sicut in D. olyrati posticis notatis: subtus margine posticarum externo tantum albo maculato, coste 
maculis albis nullis. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patten !*), Rio Sucio (Rogers). 
Besides the single type specimen of this species we have only seen one other example. 
Unfortunately both are females. Several characters seem to distinguish D. lonera from — 
its ally D. olyras, the chief one consisting of the greater transparency of the terminal 
half of the primaries, owing to the greater size of the hyaline spots. Beneath there 
are no costal white spots on the secondaries. 
5. Dircenna euchytma, (Ithomia euchytma, Tab. II. figg. 16, 17.) 
Ithomia euchytma, Feld. Reis. d. Nov., Lep. p. 357°. 
Dircenna euchytma, Butl. & Druce, P. Z.S. 1874, p. 332’. 
¢ alis flavo-hyalinis, anticis venis nigris divisis et fusco-nigro (nisi marginis interni parte basali rufa) 
circumcinctis ; macula transversa per cellule medium et altera ad finem ejus fumatis, fascia subapicali 
indistincte fumata a costa ad marginem externum transeunte ; posticis venis rufis divisis: subtus ut . 
supra, anticis tribus (posticis una) maculis apicalibus albis notatis, una quoque posticarum costali et octo 
submarginalibus maculis albis ornatis. 
Q mari similis, sed coloribus multo saturatioribus et maculis obscuris multo latioribus, area quoque posticarum 
interna unicolori fulva differt. 
Hab. GUATEMALA, Choctum and Polochic valley (Hague); Nicaragua, Chontales 
(Belt, Janson); Costa Rica (Van Patten *) ; Panama, Chiriqui (Arcé, Ribbe), Calobre

This is a common species in the northern parts of South America and Central 
America as far as Nicaragua. In Guatemala it is not so abundant, its range being 
apparently restricted to certain parts of the department of Vera Paz. ‘The variation 
observable in specimens from different parts in this wide area is not great, and consists 
chiefly in the colour of the basal part of the inner margin of the secondaries. In some 
specimens this is fulvous, in others almost black ; and intermediates occur between these 
extremes. 
Our figures and descriptions are taken from specimens caught in the valley of the 
Rio Polochic, Guatemala.
