388 RHOPALOCERA. 
Hab. Nicaraaua, Chontales (Belt); Costa Rica, San Francisco (Rogers); Panama, 
Chiriqui (Ribbe, Zahn), Bugaba, David (Champion), Calobre (Arcé), Lion Hill

We are unable to treat this species otherwise than as a very variable one, especially 
as regards the coloration of the male specimens from the northern extremity of its 
range. This variation is chiefly shown in the colour of the secondaries, which in some 
individuals are almost unspotted black with a broad ferruginous band ; in others this 
band disappears and the wings are more or less spotted. 
Its nearest ally is C. actoris (Cramer), under which name it was figured by Hiibner }. 
Mr. Bates separated it in his catalogue of Erycinide. C. actoris seems to differ chiefly 
in the total absence of the rusty band of the secondaries, but the two insects are very 
closely allied. 
In Central America C. ewcharila is not uncommon as far north as Nicaragua, and 
both Belt’s collection and that of Mr. Champion from Chiriqui contained a fair series 
of specimens. The largest and most aberrant specimens in our collection are from 
Costa Rica and are those figured on our Plate.

Polochic valley, San Gerénimo (Hague); Honpuras!?; Costa Rica, Cache (Logers). 
This species has a close ally in C. phryxe, Felder, from Brazil, but may be distin- 
guished by the paler under surface of the wings, the spots being more prominent and 
less linear. 
Both Boisduval’s and Hewitson’s types were from Honduras; we have compared that 
of the former, thanks to Mons. C. Oberthiw’s kindness, with our series, and find them 
agree!2, In Guatemala it is not uncommon in the hotter districts on both sides of 
the cordillera up to an elevation of about 3000 feet. We have not yet traced it south- 
wards of Costa Rica. 
B. Subcostal nervure of primaries with three branches. 
a. Subcostal nervure of the primaries with all its branches emitted beyond the end
