The only evidence we have of the occurrence of this species in Mexico is the state- 
ment, in the ‘Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera, that the type came from that country ’. 
From British Honduras we have a pair, and from Guatemala several males (one of 
which is figured), and a female from the same country. All our Guatemalan specimens 
are from the Polochic valley, except one taken by Mr. Champion in the adjoining 
valley of the Cahabon river. 
Most writers who have had occasion to refer to this species have treated it as a 
variety of E. ancea of Guiana and the valley of the Amazons; but we have seen enough 
specimens to convince us that the difference in the shape and position of the fulvous 
spot of the secondaries is quite constant, and that the species is, in fact, a very good 
one, restricted in its range to the low-lying forests of Central America. 
It was first made known by Hewitson’s figure in the ‘ Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera.’

This genus contains upwards of thirty species, all of which belong strictly to the 
Neotropical Region, to the exclusion of Chili and the extreme southern parts of the 
South-American continent. The focus of the genus seems to be the valley of the 
Amazons, where Mr. Bates found no less than twenty-two species. Eubagis, however, 
is well represented in our region by twelve species, only four of which are not found 
elsewhere. Of the remainder, some, such as Z. postverta, have a range as wide as the 
genus itself; others are more restricted, being only found outside our limits in the 
adjoining South-American States; others again, such as the rare E. chryseis, occupy in 
common Central America and the Amazons valley.
