102 RHOPALOCERA. 
as many as twenty-seven species have been found. In Central America L. ewopis is the sole 
representative, a species peculiar to the highlands of Costa Rica. Like Pedaliodes, Prono- 
phila, and the allied genera, the median nervure of the primaries is not distinctly swollen 
at the base. Two subcostal branches are thrown off before the end of the cell; and there 
is a long strong recurrent nervule, the secondaries also showing a similar character as a 
short but distinct spur. In Pronophila a recurrent nervule is present in the primaries; 
but in the other above-mentioned genera it is obsolete.

3 alis fusco-nigris, anticis ocellis quinque transversis albo pupillatis in serie bicurvata in area inter cellulam et 
marginem externum nigris; posticis quinque ocellis ultra cellulam ornatis ; subtus ferrugineo-fuscis, ocellis 
in fascia ochraceo-fusca (marginibus nigricantibus valde sinuatis) positis, macula subtriangulari flavescente 
intra cellulam apud finem ejus, fasciis transversis sinuosis rubiginosis serieque punctulorum nigrorum ultra 
cellulam albo pupillatorum notatis. 
Q mari similis, colore fusco dilutiore, anticarum ocellis in dimidio apicali majoribus in fascia lata male definita

Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu and Cache (Logers). 
Mr. Rogers first found this species in the mountains of Irazu in Costa Rica, whence 
he subsequently sent us several specimens of both sexes. It is the only species of the 
genus with which we are acquainted that is found in Central America. It is very 
different from all others, and may be readily recognized by the prominent row of sub- 
marginal ocelli, which are most conspicuous in the females. In this sex some diversity 
of colour seems to prevail. The first specimen received, which is that represented on 
our Plate, has the distal half of the secondaries tawny, the blind ocelli showing clear 
and distinct from the dark proximal half of the wings. In another female example the 
wing is more uniform in colour, the distal half being hardly lighter than the rest and 
the ocelli indistinct. As this second specimen resembles the male, we suppose the first 
to be abnormally coloured. 
PEDALIODES. 
Pedaliodes, Butler, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 3, xx. p. 267 (1867). 
Of this genus upwards of eighty species have been described, mostly from the Andean 
and Subandean regions of Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia; of these only seven 
occur within our borders, and none of them further north than Guatemala, where two 
species are found. The genus to a great extent takes the place of Hrebia and its allies 
of the mountainous regions of the northern hemisphere. Hewitson, with whom these 
butterflies were always favourites, included them with Oxeoschistus and several other 
smaller groups in the genus Pronophila; but Mr. Butler’s separation of them is, we 
think, fully justified. The primaries have no recurrent nervule; the eyes are distinctly 
hairy ; and the median nervure of the primaries is not swollen at its base.
