Clothilda insignis, Salvin, Ent. Trans. 1869, p. 394; Butler & Druce, P. Z. S. 1874, p. 349”. 
C. euryale persimilis sed alis posticis ochraceo late transfasciatis. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Arcé}, Van Patten ?), Volcan de Irazu (Rogers); Panama, Volcan 
de Chiriqui (Arcé). 
Like the last species, this is an inhabitant of the higher lands. A female was 
originally sent us by our excellent collector Arcé from the mountain district of Costa 
Rica; and from this the original description was taken1. Subsequently Mr. Rogers 
obtained several examples of C. insignis in the volcano of Irazu at an elevation of 
between 6000 to 7000 feet; and Arcé also found it in the volcano of Chiriqui, beyond 
which we are not aware that it extends. C. insignis closely resembles C. euryale, but 
may at once be distinguished from it by the broad submarginal dirty white streak 
extending across the secondary wings. 
The type specimen from Costa Rica, a female, is figured. 
EUPETOIETA. 
Eupetoieta, Doubleday, Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 168 (1848). 
This genus, which includes the two following species of wide range, has a close 
general resemblance to Argynnis, with which it has many characters in common. 
Like Argynnis, the secondary male sexual organs have a well-developed tegumen 
with a long median hook. The antenne have forty-one joints, the terminal twelve 
forming a rather abrupt club (in Argynnis selene the number of joints is thirty-five). 
The palpi have a very small terminal joint, the middle joint being much distended, 
especially towards the distal end. The front legs of the male are clothed with fine 
hairs; coxa stout, =? femur, tibia=% femur, tarsus (single-jointed)=2 tibia. In 
Argynnis selene the femur is rather shorter in proportion to the coxa, and the tarsus 
not more than 3 the tibia. The claws of the hinder legs are much straighter than in 
Argynnis; but the tibia are spiny all over as in that genus. In the primary wings the 
second subcostal branch is thrown off further from the end of the cell than is usual in 
Argynnis. |
