hindwing tbe S lias the iuner and hindmargius broadly greenish grey, the centre 

 only being dnil fulvons ; in the ? the whole of the hindwing is brighter fulvous 

 with the hindmargin alone narrowly greenish grey. 



57. Eriopygidia nigrirubrata spec. nov. 



Foreiving : deep grceu ; tbe lines and markings brown-black ; basal patch 

 consisting of two lines and a shade between thi-m, all bent or angled on tlie 

 .subcostal vein ; central fascia in middle of wing, the same width on costa and on 

 inner margin, rather bulged outwardly in middle, formed of two thick black shades 

 embracing a central green space, the edges lunulate between the veins ; the 

 narrow green bands on each side marked by a black tooth on costa and an 

 indistinct central thread ; marginal area traversed by four black lines, divergent 

 towards costa, constricted below, the outer ones consisting of wedge-shaped black 

 marks between the veins ; a row of large black marginal lunules, their bases 

 outwardly marked with red scales, and their apices touching these of the 

 outermost wedges ; fringe dark green, mixed with red scales. 



Iliiuhcing : bright red ; tbe base and the iuner margin to two-thirds, olive- 

 fuscous ; the costal margin, a cloud from anal angle to vein 4, and a median 

 lunulate line black; cell-spot and marginal lunules black; fringe reddish, blacker 

 at base. 



Underside of forewing dull olive-fnscous, with scattered red scales ; a red 

 curve from costa beyond central fascia, and streak aloug upper half of cell : 

 hindwing dull red, thickly black-speckled, with a clearer curved postmedian 

 band ; cell-spot black ; inner margin and base tinged with green. 



Vertex, face, and palpi pale greenish ochreons ; shoulders, patagia, and thorax 

 olive-green ; abdomen blackish with pale speckling ; pectus and legs beneath 

 greenish ochreous ; legs in front blackish mottled with ochreons. 



Expanse of wings : 44 mm. 



1 (J from Huancabamba, Cerro de Pasco, Peru (Biittger). 



Distinguished by the dark underside of wings. 



58. Eriopygidia rufivena Warr. 



The ? of this species differs very considerably from the c?. The forewing 

 is the same, except that the pale lines edging the dark markings are much brighter 

 and more consjiicuons ; but the hindwing is bright copper-red, with the inner 

 margin broadly pale olive as far as aa obscure curved median line, then narrowly 

 olive to anal angle, with traces of the commencement of a submarginal line ; the 

 fringe olive. 



Underside as in the c? ; abdomen much paler, yellowish ochreous, the dorsal 

 segments pale olive. 



2 ? ? along with 1 S , even darker than the type, from Santo Domingo, C'arabaya, 

 S.E. Peru; 1 ? taken in March, wet season, the other witii the c? in June, dry 

 season, 1902 (Ockenden). 



AVere it not for the actual identity in the markings of the forewings, the sexes 

 of this insect might well be supposed to belong to different species, so great is 

 the contrast in the coloration of tbe hiudwiugs.
