This insect is again very closely allied to E. pephredo, from which it differs in its 

 rather larger size and the more mottled underside of both wings, so that the reddish 

 transverse lines are less conspicuous and straighter, and the bright ochreous markings 

 so conspicuous in fresh specimens in E. pephredo are barely indicated. 



33 (c). Euptychia henshawi.

Mr. Elwes and myself found this insect very abundant in a pine-wood near Puebla 

 in 1888; these specimens agree well with others in our collection from Fort Grant and 

 Colorado. 



The male of E. henshawi, like that of E. pyracmon, E. pephredo, and E. hilaria, has 

 a patch of darker scales under the median nervure of the primaries, and these four 

 species would perhaps be better placed under the genus Paramecera, Butl.

To the localities given, add :— Mexico, Xucumanatlan in Guerrero {ff. II. Smith), 

 Jalapa {coll. Schaus). 



Sent in numbers from Western Mexico by Mr. Smith. 



In our description {I. c.) we omitted to note the patch of darker scales on the disc 

 of the primaries in the male, this being very conspicuous when the insect is held up to 

 the light. We now figure a specimen of this sex from Xucumanatlan. 



Euptychia hedemanni (I. p. 93).
