the latter specimen exceeds the former in wing expanse by about 9 mm. 

 This character is quite variable and uniformly distributed in the series 

 of 18 males examined. In no case, between any two consecutive 

 specimens, was there a separation of wing measurments of more than 

 2 mm., but the total range observed was 14 mm. 



The lectotype specimen of Eumeta brasiliensis was examined and 

 found to be conspecific with the two species of Schaus.
