EUEIDES. - 165 
having the subapical spot on the primaries of a pure white instead of dirty yellow. 
It appears to have a wider range than E. lybioides, being apparently found from 
Nicaragua to Panama and southwards to the neighbourhood of San Buenaventura in 
Western Colombia; but as yet we have not seen any specimens from Costa Rica, though 
it can hardly fail to be found there in suitable localities. 
We have figured a specimen from Lion-Hill, Panama, one of the types of E. leucomma.

Mr. Kirby has placed £. zorcaon as a synonym of F. cleobewa of Hiibner; but Mr. 
Reakirt has pointed out that his species differs from Hiibner’s. This difference is no 
more than we might expect, as the former is found in Central America, while the 
locality given for the latter is Cuba. Unfortunately we have no Cuban examples in 
our collection: but no specimen in our series exactly agrees with Hiibner’s figure ; 
hence we conclude with Reakirt that EF. cleobea is a distinct race. In the series before 
us there is no material variation in the pattern. H. zorcaon is very closely allied to 
EE. dynastes, Feld., which inhabits Venezuela, Colombia, and Ecuador; but, besides other 
minor differences, it may at once be distinguished from £. dynastes by having a double 
row of white marginal spots on the underside of the secondaries. ‘The colouring of the 
spots on the apical half of the primaries varies in different individuals, though, as before 
remarked, the pattern is the same: in some these spots are bright yellow ; and in others 
they pass from that to the dark tawny colour of the basal portion of the wing. These 
differences do not seem to be associated with special localities. 
The colour-pattern of the wings of E. zorcaon is much that of Lycorea atergatis, 
Heliconius telchinia, Eresia mechanitis, and other species, all occurring in some common 
locality.
