Eresia aveyrona, Bates, Journ. Ent. ii. p. 192, t. 10. f. 4°. 
Alis valde elongatis, nigro-fuscis, plaga magna (externe lacerata) ad anticarum apicem, altera arcuata a basi 
ad angulum analem extendente fulvis; posticis area interna fulva, margine externo nigro, linea fulva 
angulum analem includente: subtus maculis fulvis flavicantioribus et majoribus, macula anticarum apicali 
linea nigra bisecta, posticarum costa ad basin flava, et posticis linea submarginali alba notatis, 
Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patten); Panama, Chiriqui (Ridbe).—Ecuapor; Amazons}. 
Mr. Bates described this species from a single female example captured by himself 
at Aveyros on the Tapajos river1. Since then Mr. Buckley has found male specimens 
in Eastern Ecuador, both at Cururai and Sarayacu. We also have males from Central 
America from the sources given above. These latter agree very well with the Ecuador 
insects, the only difference we can detect being in the tawny spot of the apex of the 
primaries, the upper edge of which is more ragged. 
Though of wide range, E. aveyrona appears to be everywhere rare. Its homceochro- 
matic associate is Hueides aliphera (antea, p. 163), a very common insect, and on a 
larger scale Colenis delila (antea, p. 168). 
b'. Sexes differently marked.

g. Alis anticis fusco-nigris, area mediana, macula ultra cellulam, altera bifida infra eam alisque minoribus 
apici propius fulvis ; posticis interne fulvis, margine externo nigro et fascia submarginali nigra notatis: 
subtus alis multo pallidioribus et maculis, preter aream anticarum medianam, ochraceo tinctis, anticarum 
apicibus ochraceo notatis; posticis serie punctorum nigrorum submarginali ornatis. 
@. Major, maculis omnibus magis distinctis, iis ad anticarum apices ochraceis.

A common species in the hotter parts of Guatemala, where it frequents forests up to 
an elevation of about 2000 feet. Its range extends northwards into Southern Mexico, 
and southwards throughout Central America to Ecuador, where Mr. Buckley found it 
near Macas. 
E. eranites was originally described by Hewitson from Colombian specimens !, whence 
we havea male. This agrees closely with Mexican examples, the species varying but 
little throughout its wide range.
