Dr. Stau dinger has kindly lent us the types of E. cephisus, Hew., and E. evathlus, 

 Mab., and there can be no doubt they belong to one and the same species ; this had 

 better bear Mons. Mabille's name, as Hewitson's, though the older, is too much like 

 Herrich-Schaffer's Eudamus cephise, and its adoption would be confusing. It is some- 

 what questionable whether this insect is distinct from Papilio broteas of Cramer; but, 

 besides being considerably smaller, the yellow colour of the underside of the wings 

 blends gradually with the brown of the outer portion, whereas in the larger form the 

 limits of the two colours are sharply denned. 



We only know females of these forms at present. 



4. Nascus caepio. (Tab. LXXIX. figg. 3, 4, 5 6 .)

JV. cephise similis, sed plaga magna mediana minus integra, nigrieanti-fusco marginata, maculis subapicalibus 

 linea arcuata regulari positis : subtus ad basin magis ochraceis maculis discalibus absentibus : palpis et 

 pectore ochraceis.

Dr. Staudinger has lent us a specimen of this species from Mexico, which he has 

 compared with Herrich-Schaffer's type now in his possession. This Mexican specimen, 

 however, does not quite agree with the example described by Mr. Butler as Telegonus 

 cwpio, which was formerly in the Kaden collection, and in all probability named by 

 Herrich-Schaffer himself. 



The species is exceedingly closely allied to N. cephise in outward appearance, but 

 the median band of the primaries is, perhaps, less compact, and the subapical spots are 

 placed side by side in a regular curve from the costa. 



We have not seen many specimens of this species, which, however, appears to 

 have a wide range extending from Guatemala southwards to Brazil. 



The genitalia of the male differ considerably from those of N. cephise ; the tegumen 

 has a short slightly depressed point ; the harpes are quite simple lobes without fissures 

 or serrations. (See Tab. LXXIX. fig. 5.)
