 submedianam, secunda maxima inter ramos medianos primum et secundum, tertia ultra earn, punctisque

Hob. Mexico, Atoyac (E. E. Smith). 



A single male specimen only of this species has been received. The coloration of 

 the underside of the wings separates E. lycortas at once from E. ochus and E. orthos, 

 to which it is nearly allied. 



b. Primaries immaculate. 



6. Eutychide achelous. 



Hesperia achelous, Plotz, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1882, p. 315 \ 



Alis nitente fuscis, stigmate concolore : subtus ut supra, anticis ad angulum analem et posticis margine interno 



paulo pallidioribus ; capite et tborace supra viridi tinctis. 

 $ nobis ignota. 



Edb. Panama, Chiriqui 1 (mus. Staudinger). — Amazons. 



Dr. Staudinger has sent us three specimens from Panama for examination under the 

 name of Pamphila achelous, Plotz, two males and one female ; the former belong here, 

 and the latter we refer to Metiscus atheas. We also have a male of the present 

 species from the Amazons. The brand is greatly developed, the streaks being very 

 narrowly separated, but the lower arm of the "> -shaped upper piece is very short. 

 This character will separate E. achelous from most of the numerous similarly-coloured 

 American forms. 



7. Eutychide umber. 



Cobalus umber, Herr.-Scb.aff. Prodr. Syst. Lep. iii. p. 83 l . 



Alis nigro-fuscis, stigmate concolore: subtus dilutioribus ; anticis margine interno ad angulum analem et 



macula parva ultra cellulam albidis, apice, costa et posticis (nisi margine interno) rufo tinctis ; capite 



et tborace supra pilis viridibus vestitis. 

 $> nobis ignota. 



Eab. Panama, Chiriqui (mus. Staudinger). 



There is a single male example of this insect in Dr. Staudinger's collection. It is 

 one of three forms he has sent us under the name of Pamphila umber, H.-S., and the 

 specific name can be provisionally used for the present species. E. umber is exactly 

 like Mnasinous patage in general facies and coloration, but differs from it in having a 

 greatly developed brand, the insect in this respect agreeing with the species placed by
