 edge and a notch near the middle of the dorsal edge. (See Tab. LXXXIV. fig. 18.)

The type of this species is a female in poor condition, which formed part of Van 

 Patten's Costa Rica Collection 1 . We have now many specimens of the species, which 

 has a wide range, extending from Southern Mexico through the whole of Central 

 America to Venezuela and the Amazons Valley. 



In general appearance E. sempiternus is very like E. varius, but the dark bands of 

 the wings, especially the primaries beneath, are much clearer ; moreover, the costal 

 fold, well developed in E. varius, is hardly seen in this species. 



The tegumen of the male genitalia is similar to that of E. varius so far as regards 

 the divergent terminal pair of points, but the other points are not apparent ; the harpes 

 are long and acute, the extremity curving slightly upwards. (See Tab. LXXXIV. 

 fig. 21.)

Of this species we have only seen the type, kindly lent us by Dr. Staudinger, and 

 from which our figures are drawn. It is a female.
