This species was first recognized by Dr. Felder, who described certain Venezuelan, 
Colombian, and Mexican specimens under this name. We possess a large series of 
examples from Central America which exhibit no tangible differences. The nearest 
ally to O. tamarindi is O. crameri, Feld., a name which is probably synonymous with 
O. glycerie (Fabr.). From this insect 0. tamarindi differs in having the secondaries 
usually more rufescent, especially in the female, and the transverse band of the 
primaries yellowish white instead of tawny. This band varies considerably: in one 
Colombian male in our collection it is but faintly indicated ; in others it is broad,—and 
this without any apparent reference to locality. 
As already remarked, 0. glycerie of Fabricius is probably the same as O. crameri 
of Felder; but the Mexican specimen referred by Mr. Butler to O. glycerie in his 
catalogue of Fabrician Diurnal Lepidoptera no doubt belongs to O. tamarind: ®. 
One of the older specimens he mentions under O. glycerie appears to be correctly 
named. 
A specimen from the Polochic valley is figured. 
6. Opsiphanes quirinus, sp. n. 
Alis nigricanti-brunneis, anticarum dimidio basali et posticis (margine excepto) late rufescentibus, margine 
externo posticarum valde sinuato sicut in O. quiteria; anticis fascia transversa ochracea et punctis albis 
apicalibus fere ut in O. invire; subtus alis brunneis nigro valde distincte irroratis, ocellis ut in speciebus 
hujus generis. 
Q mari similis, sed multo major et fascia anticarum alba nec ochracea distinguenda. 
Hab. Guatemaa, Polochic valley (Hague); Nicaraaua, Chontales (Belt); Panama, 
Chiriqui and Calobre (Arcé). 
This is a race of O. quiteria of Guiana, the Amazons valley, and Northern Brazil, 
having the same deeply indentated margin to the secondaries; it differs, however, in
