the first median branch has lost the lower arm of the >. We take Pamphila compta, 

 Burl., as the type, and associate with it some other Tropical- American species described 

 below. E. compta, E. micythus, E. chlorocephala, and E. lyde agree fairly well inter se ; 

 but E. ceagrus differs in the structure of the genitalia, as well as in general coloration, &c, 

 and it may have ultimately to be removed. Euroto differs from Morys, not only in the 

 form of the brand, but in the much longer second median segment of the primaries 

 also. 



The antennae are rather more than half the length of the costa (longer in E. chloro- 

 cephala), and have an elongate club, terminating in a long crook. The palpi have the 

 third joint very short and bluntly conical. The primaries are somewhat pointed at 

 the tip : the cell is much less than two-thirds the length of the costa ; the discocellulars 

 are oblique, the lower one is short and of the same length as the third median segment ; 

 the lower radial is depressed at the base ; the first branch arises before the middle 

 of the median nervure, the second near the lower angle of the cell. The secondaries 

 are very feebly lobed at the anal angle; the discocellulars are faint. The middle 

 tibiae are spined, the hind tibiae have two pairs of spurs. The body is stout. The 

 primaries of the male have a conspicuous double brand : (1) a piece extending along 

 the whole length of the second median segment, and filling the angle between this 

 and the first median branch ; (2) a short longitudinal streak below this.

Dr. Staudinger has lent us the type of Pamphila geisa, Moschl., from Colombia, as 

 well as a second specimen from Chiriqui, both males, and these do not differ from 

 P. compta, Butl., from the Amazons ; we also have examples of the same species 

 from Guiana and Brazil *. E. compta is very like Morys Valerius (Moschl.), from 



* We have several specimens in our collection of a closely allied unnamed insect from Para, these differing 

 from E. compta in having the harpes of the male broadly truncate at the apex. Cobalus tripunctus, R.-S. 

 ( = Pamphila ancus, Moschl., and probably Apaustus sulla, Moschl., also), is another very similar form, but, if 

 rightly identified by us, it is without a brand in the male.
