This species does not show much variation. Specimens from Porto Real, South-east 
Brazil, in my own collection, are larger and slightly paler than any of those from 
Central America; some others from the Essequibo River, sent by Whitely, are very 
small. 
ERILUSA. 
Erilusa, Walker, Cat. xxxiv. p. 1875 (1865). 
The species of this genus bear a great resemblance to the Dioptine. Five are 
known to me from Central America. 
1. Erilusa dioptoides. 
Erilusa dioptoides, Walk. Cat. xxxiv. p. 1877’; Butl. Il. Lep. Het. i. p. 62, t. 20. fig. 2”.

Cerro Zunil 4000 feet (Champion); Panama, Chiriqui (Ribbe, in mus. Staudinger).—

- Mexican specimens are considerably darker than those from Ecuador in my own 
collection. E. radialis, Feld. & Rogenh., also from the Amazons, is a closely allied 
form, but may be at once distinguished from it by the yellow head and antenne. 
2. Erilusa mimalis. 
Erilusa mimalis, Feld. & Rogenh. Reise der Novara, Lep. t. 136. fig. 33°. 
Hab. Guatumaa (Salvin 3). 
This species is only known to me by Felder and Rogenhofer’s figure.
