fringes of primaries dark cinereous, alternating with brown ; of 

 secondaries light cinereous, but next anal angle brown. 



Under side brown, the inner margin of primaries yellowish ; 

 the spots repeated, enlarged, and more or less confluent on pri- 

 maries. On secondaries the spots are much dusted with brown 

 scales ; both wings much covered with whitish or bluish-white 

 scales, especially dense on apical area of primaries and over outer 

 limb of secondaries, but nearly as dense at base of these last ; 

 secondaries have two blackish transverse narrow bands, the outer 

 one in line with the spots, the other half way from this to base, 

 and the two are connected by a broad ligament of same color on 

 under side of cell ; near base three small brown patches. 



Body above brown, underneath gray-brown ; legs brown, an- 

 nulated white ; palpi white with many gray hairs on upper part; 

 antennae black, annulated on under side with white ; club deep 

 ferruginous, white on under side. 



Female. — Expands 1.7 inch. Like the male ; the spots rather 

 larger.

EuDAMUS Epigena. Butler. Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 4, 493, 

 1870, Id. Lep. Exot., p. 65, pi. 25, fig. 6. 



Male. — Expands about two inches. Upper side blackish- 

 brown, marked by nine small semi-transparent spots ; of these 

 three are sub-apical on costa ; three form an oblique line, to which 

 a fourth is at right angles, in sub-median interspace , two on 

 middle of costal margin ; fringes of primaries white at inner angle ; 

 dusky- white to apex, with brown at the tips of the nervules ; of 

 secondaries white, with a few short brown hairs at tips of the 

 nervules. 



Under side of primaries brown, dusted with white narrowly 

 along hind margins ; the spots repeated ; secondaries dark brown, 

 crossed by two black bands, of irregular outlines ; the hind mar- 

 gin broadly bordered white, on which are brown reticulations. 



Female. — Expands about 2.1 inch. Similar to the male. In 

 one example under view several of the spots are wanting.

I re-describe this species, as it is described and figured in 

 works not accessible to most American lepidopterists. I formerly 

 received a female of Epigena from Texas, through kindness of 

 Mr. Otto Meske, and it has remained an unique in my collection 

 till now. 



EUDAMUS MOSCHUS. 



Male. — Expands from 1.3 to 1.7 inch. Upper side very like 

 Hippalus. Edw. (Papilio, 2, 27). Glossy brown, with nine 

 whitish, semi-transparent spots on primaries, of which four are 

 sub-apical on costa, three across discoidal and median inter- 

 spaces, in an oblique line, one in cell and another above this ; 

 these spots are all small, and those in cell and lower median
