EURYGONA.—METHONELLA. 371 
Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patten1?); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba (Cham- 
pion), Chiriqui (bbe). 
The original specimens of this pretty species formed part of Van Patten’s Costa 
Rica collection, and are the only ones we have seen from that country; but we have 
a large number from the neighbourhood of Chiriqui sent us by Mr. Champion, amongst 
which are several pairs captured together. It was found abundantly in second-growth 
wood, flying in the early morning.

On the upper surface of the wings this Eurygona closely resembles £. aurantia, 
except that the inner orange patch of the wings is larger 4nd leaves a narrower dark 
border; beneath, the two differ widely, EH. aurantia being silvery and E. chrysippe 
orange. 
In their range EF. chrysippe is more widely diffused than £. aurantia, being found in 
Nicaragua and also in Colombia. Except in Costa Rica, where Van Patten obtained 
both species, they do not appear to be found together. 
Specimens from the State of Panama were the types of Mr. Bates’s description of 
E. chrysippe. Hewitson described examples from Nicaragua as £. labiena, but there 
can be no doubt both these names refer to one species. 
METHONELLA. 
Methonella, Westwood, Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 533 (1852), vice Methone, p. 422. 
There are but two closely allied species in this genus, one of which occurs in Costa 
Rica, Panama, and Colombia, the other in Surinam and the Amazons region. 
The subcostal nervure of the primaries in WV. cecilia emits two branches before and 
two beyond the end of the cell, the upper radial meets the subcostal beyond the end 
of the cell; the middle discocellular is perfect, and, running as a continuation of the 
lower radial, meets the subcostal some way beyond the second branch ; the lower disco- 
cellular is atrophied towards the upper end, and meets the median at a large acute 
angle some way beyond the origin of the second branch; the costal side of the cell 
is a little shorter than the median side. The secondaries have no basal nervure; the
