EULEPIDOTIS STRI.EPUNCTA Herrich-Shaffer. 



Palindia strisepunda HERRiCH-ScHXrFER, Corr.-Bl., zool.-niin. ver. Regensb. 



vol. 22, 1869, p. 153. 

 Palindia variabilis Moschler, Abh. Senck. Nat. Ges., vol. 14, 1886, p. 194. 

 Palindia var. obscura Moschler, Abh. Senck. Nat. Ges., vol. 14, 1886, p. 195. 

 Closely aUied to hehe, apparently a degenerate offshoot from it. 

 The colors are dulled and very variable, the white costal ornamen- 

 tation obsolete, the markings of hind wing reduced. I have five 

 specimens from Cuba. 



EULEPIDOTIS PERDUCENS Walker. 

 Palindia perducens Walker, Cat. Brit. Mus., Lep. Ilet., part 15, 1858, p. 1767. 

 Described from Jamaica. I have no specimens. 



EULEPIDOTIS AFFINIS Schaus. 

 Palindia affinis Schaus, Ann. Alag. Nat. Hist. (8), vol. 7, 1911, p. 60. 

 The continental representative of the Antillean perducens. I have 

 seven from Costa Eica, one from Panama, and one from Venezuela. 



EULEPIDOTIS JULIANATA Stoll. 



Phalaena Geometra jidianata Stoll, Suppl. Cramer's Pap. Exot., 40, pi. viii, fig. 4, 



1791 (written juliata in index, p. 383). 

 Palindia julianala Guenee, Spec. Gen., vol. 6, 1852, p. 277. 

 Palindia egala Walker, Cat. Brit. Mu?., Lep. Het., part 33, 1865, p. 807. 

 Palindia julianata Bar, Ann. Soc. Ent. France (5), vol. 6, 1876, p. 5. 

 Palindia julianata Butler, Ent., 1892, p. 190. 



Unknown to Guenee, but well figured by Bar. Butler runs this 

 in with juncida Guenee = aglaura Bar, wrongly, I thmk. He does 

 not mention mdbis Guenee m this connection, as he had evidently 

 misidentified the name (see Dyomyx fumata Felder and Rogenhofer) , 

 apparently from followmg Walker.^ Seventeen specimens are 

 before me from French Guiana, one from Venezuela, and one from 

 Mexico, the latter an aberration with purple shading fillmg in the 

 basal space up to the central line. 



EULEPIDOTIS JUNCIDA Guenee. 



Palindia juncida Guenee, Spec. Gen., vol. 6, 1852, p. 277. 



Palindia mabis Guenee, Spec. Gen., vol. 6, 1852, p. 277. 



Palindia thecloides Walker, Cat. Brit., Mus., Lep. Het., part 12, 1857, p. 851. 



Palindia aglaura Bar, Ann. Soc. Ent. France (5), vol. 6, ]876, p. 7. 



Palindia julianata, vars. juncida and aglaura Butler, Ent., 1892, p. 190, 

 This species varies m the amount of purple shadmg. In typical 

 juncida there is none, except m the terminal space; it gradually 

 increases as a general smoky suft"usion of the pale parts until the 

 wing is wholly and uniformly shaded (var. mahis). Walker a]:)par- 

 ently misidentified mabis, as he describes his thecloides, which is the 

 same thing, immediately after. Bar recognized the variability of 

 the species, but did not recognize it as juncida Guenee, which he
