the internal spine is present in the other species, except perhaps in £. zela. Spinous 
processes are present in the bursa copulatrix of all the above species except L. tenedia, 
which we have not examined; they are long and well developed in £. zela and 
E. fatimella, especially in the latter; in E. ethalia they are reduced to granular 
patches.

Mr, Bates described this species from specimens collected at Santa Marta, Colombia, 
by the late M. Bouchard. It has since been traced to Pebas and other places in the 
Amazons valley, and northwards in our country to Guatemala. It is, however, 
much more common in Nicaragua and places lying to the south of it than in Guate- 
mala, whence we have but a single specimen. 
With the types of L. ethalia and of E. olive, of Messrs. Butler & Druce, before us, 
we have no hesitation in referring these two names to one species.

Specimens from the Amazons region are not quite so clearly spotted as those from 
our country and from Brazil; but we think there can be no question as to the identity 
of the species. 
HE. fatimella appears to be rare in Central America, as we have only two specimens from 
the State of Panama. In the south it is more common. It is the brightest species of 
mesis in our country, and distinguished by the clear ferruginous colour of its wings.
