EUCYANE.—PHALOESIA. 105 
6. Eucyane pheenicides, sp. n. (Tab. X. fig. 15.) 
Primaries deep black, crossed transversely near the apex by a narrow, bright carmine band, not quite reaching 
the costal margin; secondaries dark glossy blue, with the outer margins bordered with rich carmine: 
head and sides of the thorax bright red; thorax and abdomen bright bluish black; antenne black ; palpi 
red, with the first joint black; a spot at the base on the underside of the primaries also the underside of 
the thorax white; legs bluish black. Expanse 1? inch. 
Hab. GuateMaLa, Coban (mus. Staudinger). 
This beautiful species is allied to E. amica, from which it is easily distinguished by 
the dark blue secondaries and narrow carmine band of the primaries. 
COMPOSIA. 
Composia, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 179. 
This genus is represented by two species in our country. 
1. Composia olympia. (Tab. XI. fig. 1.) 
Phaloésia olympia, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 4th ser. viii. p. 290°; Trans. Ent. Soc. 1872, 
p- 54. . 
Composia olympia, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 4th ser. xvi. p. 172. 
Hab. British Honpuras, Corrosal (J. Roe, mus. D.).—Braziut. 
This beautiful species is allied to C. sybaris from Jamaica. I have only seen two 
examples from our country. I think it very doubtful if it occurs in South America. 
2. Composia subcyanea. 
Euchromia subcyanea, Walk. Cat. i. p. 230°. 
Hab. Mexico}. 
I have not seen a specimen of this species from our country ; I possess one from the 
island of Dominica, 
PHALOESIA. 
Phaloésia, Walker, Cat. 1. p. 859. 
This genus contains a single species only. 
1. Phaloésia saucia. (Tab. XI. fig. 2.) 
Phaloésia saucia, Walk. Cat. ii. p. 359*; Butl. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1872, p. 54°. 
Cocastra gentilis, Boisd. Lép. Guat. p. 88. 
Phaloésia flavicollis, Butl. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 4th ser. xvi. p. 171°. 
Phaloésia venezuele, Butl. ib.* 
Phaloésia chalybea, Butl. ib.’ / 
Hab. Mexico®, Valladolid in Yucatan (Gaumer); Guatemata, San Gerénimo (Cham- 
pion) ; Nicaragua! 2\—- VENEZUELA? 4, 
I cannot see the slightest reason for separating from P. saucia the specimens placed 
under the above names in the British Museum; they are, without doubt, all the same 
species, and I cannot detect any difference that would even allow of their ranking as
