EPITHOMIA.—CALLOLERIA. 33 
first segment of subcostal longer than the three median segments; second segment very 
short. Tarsus of front leg of female with five joints, a pair of spurs on each of the 
second and third joints. (Type Dircenna callipero, Bates.) 
The single species which we propose to place in this separate genus has many cha- 
racters in common with Callithomia. The palpi are hairy and have a comparatively 
long terminal joint; the secondaries are arched as in Callithomia. The neuration of 
the secondaries differs, however, in important points, the recurrent nervule being 
emitted from the lower discocellular instead of the middle. From Dircenna it differs 
not only in having a five- instead of a four-jointed tarsus to the front leg of the female, 
but in other characters, in the neuration of the secondaries.

This species does not agree structurally with Dircenna, where Mr. Bates originally 
placed it, a view, however, which he subsequently altered?. Whether Jthomia agrip- 
pina* is distinct or not from £. callipero it is not easy now to decide. Besides the 
apparent difference of neuration to which Mr. Bates has called attention®, Hewitson’s 
figure shows a yellow spot between the second and third median branches of the pri- 
maries, not seen in E. callipero. Hewitson’s type, formerly in Birchall’s collection, has 
now probably been lost sight of; and therefore the accuracy of the plate representing 
it, as regards the neuration, cannot be tested. Under this uncertainty respecting 
I. agrippina, and seeing that the description of E. callipero was read some days before 
the part of ‘ Exotic Butterflies’ containing the figure of J. agrippina was issued, we 
feel justified in using Mr. Bates’s name. 
£. callipero appears to have a very restricted range, and, though common on the 
line of the Panama railway, it does not occur beyond it, as none of the Veraguan 
collections which we have examined has contained examples. 
Our figure and descriptions are taken from M‘Leannan’s specimens.
