45. — EUNICA MODESTA. 



Expans. 1" 10'". Closely allied to Su. pusilla, (Bates, Journal of 

 Eutomology, vol. ii. pi. 9, f. 5, 5«), but a little larger, and the fore- wing 

 a little more produced at the apex. The male is dark brown, with a 

 purple gloss ; but the fore-wing, instead of being spotless, as in Eu. 

 pusilla, has two macular belts towards the apex, each consisting of 

 three spots, the centre one of which is white, the others dusky white. 

 Hind-wing spotless. Beneath : very similar to JEu. pusilla ; fore-wing 

 brown, paler towards the base ; a small round, blackish spot on the 

 middle of the cell, followed by a slender dusky circumflex, and a dark 

 streak over the lower disco-cellular nervule. The first macular belt 

 consists of three white spots, the second of a single spot ; the apex of 

 the wing grey, with a dark brown sub-marginal line. Hind-wing 

 brown, washed with grey, crossed by two slender, flexuous, brown lines, 

 enclosing two double ocelli, the apical one having distinct greyish-white 

 pupils, encircled with blackish, the anal one forming almost two distinct 

 ocelli, and having very minute blackish pupils. 



Female : pale bi'own, macular belts of fore-wing consisting of 

 clearer white spots. 



Guatemala. 



46. — EPIPHILE PLUTOIflA. 



(J. "Wings of the same shape as in E. Epicaste, (Hewits. Exot. 

 Butt. Ep. f. 4), but the fore-wing a little more falcate. Eich dark 

 brown ; hind-wing nearly black. Fore-wing with a tawny-orange belt 

 across the middle, precisely as in E. Epicaste, and with a white sub- 

 apical spot. The basal part, instead of a belt, has a small transverse 

 orange spot across the middle of the cell. Hind-wing with the disc 

 occupied by a rich, glossy, dark blue patch. Beneath : the same as 

 E. Epicaste, (Hewits. 1. c. f. 3), except that the belt of the fore- wing 

 is of an ochreous-tawny hue, and that the basal spot extends very little 

 beyond the cell. 



Guatemala, interior. 



47. — TEMENIS STLPHIS. 



(J. Expans. 1" 11'". Outer margins of the wings distinctly 

 scalloped : fore-wing costa arched ; apex not falcate, but with a broad 

 dentiform lobe on the outer mai'gin, just below the apex ; the rest of
