Eudamus ridens, Hew. Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 4, xviii. p. 349 \ 



Alis purpureo-fuscis ; anticis plaga magna eentrali quinquepartita fascia arcuata subapicali sexpartita hyalinis ; 

 posticis obscurioribus, macula mediana bipartita, plaga elongata cirrosa marginem internum versus et ciliis 

 albis : subtus anticis ut supra, posticis plaga mediana alba magis elongata, punctis nigricantibus duobus 

 includente ; palpis et oculorum ambitu infra albis ; plica costali obvia. 



Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Ribbe x ). 



A beautiful species, the only specimens of which have been taken by Dr. Staudinger's 

 collectors. It has no very near ally ; the white median band on the upperside of the 

 secondaries is peculiar to the species. 



The male genitalia have a spine on the distal side of the dorsal fissure of the 

 harpagones slightly leaning backwards, a shallow depression beyond it, and then some 

 sharp points on the bend of the rounded end. (See Tab. LXXV. fig. 15.) 



18. Eudamus miltas, sp. n. (Tab. LXXV. figg. 18, 19.) 



Alis murinis ad basin viridi-ochraceo leviter lavatis ; anticis fascia lata mediana venis quinquepartita, quarum 

 tertia a costa maxima, ea juxta earn extrorsum parva, punctis quatuor subapicalibus omnibus semihyalinis ; 

 posticis brevicaudatis, ciliis albis : subtus anticis ut supra, area interna ad angulum analem albida ; posticis 

 maculis sex indistinctis fuscis in linea arcuata costse et margini externo subparallelibus, macula altera ad 

 cellulse finem quoque fusca, macula elongata albida prope eaudse basin. 



Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Schaus). 



A single specimen of this distinct species in Mr. Schaus's collection is the only one we 

 have seen. Without actual dissection its position must remain somewhat uncertain, but 

 from external characteristics it seems best placed here, though it has some characters 

 suggestive of a relationship to E. auginus. 



19. Eudamus crison, sp. n. (Tab. LXXV. figg. 16, 17.) 



Alis viridi-nigricantibus ; anticis fascia lata transversa venis quinquepartita a costse medium ad angulum 

 analem transeunte byalina undique nigro limbata, maculis tribus margini externo subparallelibus et 

 quatuor elongatis subapicalibus quoque hyalinis; posticis saturatioribus, fasciis duabus indistinctis 

 maculosis, una ad cellulse finem altera discali viridibus : subtus anticis fere ut supra ; posticis fasciis 

 viridibus magis distinctis et ad angulum analem confluentibus ; palpis griseis. 



Hab. Guatemala, Cerro Zunil {Champion). 



A single specimen, somewhat damaged as regards the anal angle of the secondaries 

 apparently a female, is all that we have seen of this beautiful species. It was captured 

 by Mr. Champion on the slopes of Cerro Zunil at an altitude of about 4000 feet above 

 the sea.
