EULEPIDOTIS CROCOPTERA Felder and Rogenhofer. 



Palindia crocoptera Felder and Rogenhofer, Reise Novara, Lep., pi. Ill, fig. 

 18, 1872. 



I have three specimens of tliis from French Guiana. 



EULEPIDOTIS SUZETTA, new species. 



Yellow, unusually clear; Unes straight, dark ocherous, edged on 

 one side by a fine brown line, on the other by a broad band of metalUc 

 bluish scales ; inner line with colors reversed ; mesial hne more obhque 

 than the others ; a subterminal leaden line preceded by a brown line. 

 Hindwing clear yellow; a rounded metalUc blue spot on submedian 

 fold, well before margin, at about outer tliird of wing; on the margin 

 three silvery patches, marked by a few brown scales, the lower one 

 opposite the submedian patch is the largest. Expanse, 24 mm. 



Type.— Male, Cat. No. 15698, U. S. Nat. Mus.; St. Jean, Maroni 

 River, French Guiana, April, 1904 (W. Schaus). 



The specimen bears a label "corinna Cr., fide B. M."; but Bar's 

 identification must be respected since Cramer's figure is so poor as 

 to be uncertain if considered alone. 



EULEPIDOTIS STELLA Bar. 



Palindia stella Bar, Ann. Soc. Ent. France (5), vol. 5, 1875, p. 297. 

 I have no specimens of tliis species, which seems very distinct, 

 judging fi'om Bar's figure. 



EULEPIDOTIS CORINNA Cramer. 



Phalxna Noctua corinna Cramer, Pap. Exot., vol. 1, 1779, p. 47, pi. 29, fig. H. 

 Palindia corinna Bar, Ann. Soc. Ent. France (5), vol. 5, 1875, p. 296. 

 Phrygionis quadrilineata Kaye, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1901, p. 123. 



I have specimens from Trinidad, British and French Guianas, 

 and Venezuela. 



EULEPIDOTIS PRISMATICA, new species. 



DuU ocher, shaded with sordid nearly all over the wings; lines 

 double, the centers dull ocher, inner line blacldsh, outer metallic 

 violet, but appearing dark leaden in most lights, inner line reversed; 

 both mesial and outer lines bent more or less in the middle ; reniform 

 a dusky shade; submarginal Kne leaden; terminal row of dark dots. 

 Hindwing with costa smoky, disk only dull orange; a curved streaked 

 band with violet scales across disk; three silvery patches on margin 

 preceded by black dots. Beneath rather uniformly light ocherous 

 straw color. Expanse, 20-24 mm. 



Cotypes. — One male, two females. Cat. No. 15699. U. S. Nat. Mus. 

 St. Jean, Maroni River, French Guiana, July, 1904 (W. Schaus). 



Close to corinna Cramer, but, I think, distinct. It is generally 

 duller, less contrastingly colored, and beneath the uniform Ught 

 ocherous tint is different from the bright yellow contrasted markings 

 of corinna.
