EUDAMUS. 275 



Dr. Staudinger has kindly lent us two specimens, a male and a female, of this species, 

 the former from Chiriqui, bearing the name of M. Mabille. 



The male has no trace of the spot between the median nervure and its second branch, 

 and it is only very faintly shown in the female. In a specimen from Santa Marta, 

 Colombia, in our collection, this spot is more plainly visible, and it is still more clearly 

 shown in E. carmelita, to which species E. nigricauda is most nearly allied. From 

 E. carmelita it may be distinguished by having five subapical spots placed in a straight 

 line and forming a band parallel to the median band. In E. carmelita there are only 

 four such spots, and they do not lie in a line.

Alis murinis, anticis stria mediana transversa semihyalina, macula ultra earn et punctis tribus subapicalibus 

 quoque semihyalinis ; posticis linea discali undulata obsoleta fusca : subtus anticis ut supra, maculis 

 omnibus fusco cinctis ; posticis fasciis tribus irregularibus et macula basali fuscis, ciliis fusco-albidis ; 

 cauda brevi ; plica costali obvia. 



Hab. Panama, David (Champion). — Colombia ; Venezuela 2 3 . 



A single specimen taken by Mr. Champion agrees with others in our collection 

 from Colombia and Venezuela, and with Mr. Butler's types of G. cenis. The latter 

 came from Dr. Kaden's collection with the name cenis attached to them, and were 

 doubtless seen by Herrich-Schaffer. 



In the markings of the underside of the secondaries this species resembles E. athesis, 

 Hew., and E. trebia, Moschl., and are of the same character as those of E. dor antes. 

 The tails are quite short and the markings of the primaries quite different from those 

 of the last-named species. 



b'". Tails longer.

Alis saturate murinis ; capite, tborace et alis ad basin nitente viridibus ; anticis fascia mediana lata per cellu- 

 lam venis quadripartita, macula subquadrata vix ultra earn et punctis tribus subcostalibus semihyalinis ; 

 posticis cauda et margine externo lato fere ad angulum apicalem pure albis : subtus pallidioribus, fascia 

 anticarum integra; posticis margine externo ad costam albo, macula fusca ad angulum apicalem, fascia 

 per cellulam indistincta fusca ; plica costali obvia ; palpis, oculorum ambitu infra et pectore albis. 



2 mari similis, sed plica costali nulla.
