BT H. W. BATES, F.Z.S. 



(Concluded from page 180.) 



75. — EUPTTCHIA SERICBELtA. 



cJ. Closely allied to Uu. JSbusa (Cramer, Pap. Exot., pi. 292, 

 f. F.G.). Above : of the same silky-blue as in Mc. Ehusa, but on both 

 fore and bind-Avings, the fore-wing having a narrow costal border, the 

 apex, and a broader outer border of a brown hue. There are two obscure, 

 dark lines across the fore-wing, one much behind the cell, the other 

 near the outer border ; the Rind- wing has the outer edge obtusely 

 dentate, with a broad dusky fringe, and two fine parallel sub-marginal 

 dusky lines enclosing a thicker dull rufous line. Beneath : tawny- 

 brown, both wings crossed by two brown lines, one fine over the middle 

 of the wing-cells, the other thicker, and beyond the cells, this latter 

 broadly bordered externally with pale lilac ; both wings have also two 

 very fine sub-marginal lines, the inner one festooned ; and between this 

 latter and the lilacine band is a row of small equal-sized ocelli, three or 

 four on the anterior wing, and five on the hind-wing ; the first (from 

 anal angle) and fourth on hind-wing are black, with white pupils and 

 yellowish irides, the other three are white, with yellowish irides. 

 Antennae dark brown, club beneath rufous. 



Guatemala; province of Vera Paz. 



76. — ETTPTTCHIA GLAITCINA. 



^ . Size and shape of wings same as in Mu. Lysidice (Cramer, 

 Pap. Exot., pi. 169, fig. CD.). Above: of a pale blue-grey, without 

 gloss ; fore-wing rather duller and browner, especially towards the 

 outer margins ; the terminal portions of the nervures also bordered 

 with greyish-brown ; the hind-wing has two fine dusky lines close 

 to the hind-margin, and a thicker one a little distant from the others, 

 not reaching the anal margin. Beneath : pale blue, clearer and purer 

 than above : all wings crossed by four reddish-brown lines, besides two 

 fine lines close to the outer margins ; the third line, on the hind-wing, 

 has four small ocelli, two minute near the apex, and two larger near 

 the anal angle, black, with yellow irides, and minute silvery pupils. 



Duenas, Guatemala. 



77. — MESOSEMIA GAUDIOLTJM. 



^ . Exp. 1" 10.'" Costa of fore- wing slightly arched towards the tip, 

 the latter a little produced, but obtuse; outer margin very slightly bowed 

 outwards. Hind-wing with the middle of the outer margin produced
