where he says it was nowhere common. We now trace it through Ecuador, Venezuela, 
and Colombia, as far north as Guatemala, specimens from which country in no way 
differ from the Amazonian types before us.

This species and E. modesta appear to be very closely allied ; and the females perhaps 
are not always separable. The male, however, in the present insect is destitute of 
spots on the upperside of the anterior wings, whereas in H. modesta white spots on 
the apical half of these wings are very distinct. In their range it is noteworthy that 
LE. pusilla, which has a much more eastern extension, is only found within our limits 
in the State of Panama, the only district unoccupied by EH. modesta, which ranges 
from Mexico to Costa Rica, and reappears in Northern Colombia and some of the 
larger Antilles. 
As regards the names for these two butterflies, there can be no doubt as to the 
application of Mr. Bates’s titles, whose types are before us. It is a question, however, 
whether Cramer’s name, P. monima, is not applicable to one of them; and it has already 
been used for 4. modesta by Herrich-Schaffer in his ‘ Butterflies of the Island of Cuba.’ 
As Cramer’s figure is any thing but good, and his locality obviously erroneous, we 
prefer to adhere to a name about which no uncertainty exists. 
Several specimens of H. pusilla were captured at sea a few miles off Punta Mala, on 
the coast of Panama, in company with other butterflies, in May 1873. “They were 
probably in the act of migration.
