wings being hooked, and the hind-margin of the hind-wings 

 almost rectangular. It is brown, with scattered red spots, 

 hardly arranged in rows, chiefly towards the base and middle 

 of all the wings; at about two-thirds of the length of the 

 fore-wings there is an interrupted row of white spots, partly 

 interspersed with the outermost red ones. 

 The type of Eiirybia is

 This is one of the smaller species, measuring about two 

 inches across the wings. It is brown, with an eye on the fore- 

 wings, and two white spots beyond the end of the cell ; the 

 hind-wings have a reddish marginal band spotted with black. 

 It is found from Nicaragua southwards to Ecuador and the 

 Amazons. Farther south it is replaced by a very similar, but 

 larger species, E. dojuia, Felder. 



Among other genera with the costal nervure five-branched, is 

 Ithomiola, Felder {Compsoteria, Hew.), the species of which 

 are transparent, with dark nervures, and resemble small species 

 of the genus Ithomia. They have also much resemblance to 

 Dioptis, a genus of Moths which likewise resemble Ithomia. 

 They are found in Ecuador and other parts of Tropical America. 

 Nearly all the remaining genera of Lemoiiiince have the sub- 

 costal nervure of the fore-wings four-branched, and these have
