This species is most nearly allied to E. dyonis; but the males may be distinguished 
by the greener and less golden tint of the upper surface. The females, which are very 
much alike, differ in the central cross band of the secondaries beneath being of a nearly 
uniform width; in H. dyonis this band widens towards the inner margin, where it 
encloses a whitish triangular mark. In both these species the ocelli are more isolated 
than in L. postverta. 
E. glauce was described by Mr. Bates from specimens from the Amazons valley, 
where he found it abundant in the neighbourhood of Ega. In our country it is by no 
means uncommon in Guatemala, and thence southward to Costa Rica; but we have no 
specimens from the State of Panama. We have figured Guatemalan examples—the 
male from the Polochic valley, the female from the forests of Northern Vera Paz. 
HAMATERA. 
Hematera, Doubleday, Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 231 (1849). 
There appear to be three species contained in this small Neotropical genus. That 
first described under the name of Papilio pyramus occurs in the Amazons region and 
Colombia, and is the one we include in our fauna, two specimens being in Belt’s 
collection from Nicaragua. A species closely allied to this, and figured as P. pyramus 
by Stoll, occurs in Brazil and Paraguay. The third species is P. thysbe, which is found 
in Northern Colombia and Venezuela. The genus is not closely allied to any other 
that we know of; we place it here, following Doubleday’s arrangement. 
In Hematera the subcostal nervure of the primaries emits its first branch just before 
the end of the cell, the second some way beyond it; the upper discocellular is longer 
than in the neighbouring genera, except Eubagis; the middle curves rather abruptly into 
the lower radial, there being no trace of a lower discocellular; the costal and median 
nervures are considerably swollen towards their proximal ends. The front legs of the 
male have the coxa > 4 femur-+ trochanter; tibia < femur; tarsus < tibia. The eyes 
are smooth. The palpi are slightly hairy, the terminal joint being about 4 the middle 
joint, which is stout and slightly swollen towards the distal end. The antenne have 
38 joints, the terminal 10 forming an abrupt club. The secondary male sexual organs
