SUPPLEMENT. 



Eudamus albofasciatus (II. p . 280). 



To the localities given, add :— Hondueas, San Pedro Sula ( Wittkugel). 



Eudamus alcseus (II. p. 281). 



Thymele montezuma, Scudd. Rep. Peabody Ac. Sci. iv. p. 70 (1872) \ 



To the localities given, add:— Mexico, Tehuantepec 4 ; Hondueas, San Pedro Sula 

 ( Wittkugel) ; Nicaeagua, Matagalpa (Richardson). 



The name E. alcceus, Hew., has five years' priority over that of Scudder (cf. antea, 

 p. 636). 



17 (a). Eudamus cachinnans, sp. n. (Tab. CXII. figg. 3, 4, s .) 



Ahs fuscis, anticis fascia lata mediana per cellulam venis divisa, altera angustiore subapicali curvata, maculis 

 duabus subquadratis inter eas, proxima rnajore, omnibus byalinis ; posticis striga mediana elongata 

 indistincta grisea, margine interno dense pilis ferrugineis vestitis, ciliis (nisi ad apicem) albis : subtus 

 anticis ut supra, posticis striga elongata alba caeruleo tincta, punctis nigricantibus duobus includente ; 

 capite et thorace supra indistincte viridi suffusis. 



Hal. Panama, Chiriqui (Trotsch, ex Staudinger). 



We have received a male and female of this species from Dr. Staudinger, who sent 

 them under the name of E. ridens, Hew., both occurring in Chiriqui. It differs, 

 however, from that insect, of which we now possess both sexes, in having the hyaline 

 spot on the disc of the primaries much less angulate, forming a more regular fascia ; 

 the secondaries have the whitish streak on the disc but very faintly indicated, the white 

 tuft of hairs towards the anal angle absent, and the longitudinal band on the underside 

 somewhat broader, and the head and thorax are suffused witli green. 



19 (a). Eudamus biolleyL (Tab. CXII. figg. 5, 6, <y .) 



Eudamus biolleyi, Mab. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1900, p. 230 J ; Godm. & Salv. antea, ii. p. 635 2 . 



Alis nigro-fuscis viridi-suffusis, anticis fascia mediana interrupta per cellulam, altera subapicali angustiore, 

 maculis duabus inter eas, proxima majore, omnibus byalinis ; posticis ciliis (nisi ad apicem) et cauda 

 albis: subtus ut supra, anticis litura cserulea angulum aualem versus; posticis striga lata elongata 

 marginem externum versus caeruleo-alba maculis duabus nigris includente. 



Hob. Costa Rica 2 , Pecara (coll. Joannis x ). 



The Abbe Johannis has been kind enough to lend us the type of this insect, which, 

 as Mabille notes, is a very close ally of the Guatemalan E. crison, described and 

 figured in this work from an imperfect female. It differs, however, from that species 

 in having much smaller hyaline spots on the primaries, the median band being 

 narrower and interrupted, the secondaries are without spots on the upperside, the 

 long stripe beneath is nearer the outer margin and somewhat differently shaped, and 

 the tails and part of the fringe are white. It is not improbable that this last-named 

 character will also be found in E. crison when perfect specimens are obtained.
