 Aterica barce Doubleday, 1847, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, p. 59. 



Euryphene lesbonax Hewiison, 1864, Exot. Butt., IIT, Euryphene, PI. i, figs, i, 6, cf • 

 Euryphene barce var. achillcena Bartel, Aurivillius, 1912, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., 

 XIII, p. 179, PI. XL?), 9 . 



This species is represented in the collection by a single female, be- 

 longing to the varietal form named achillcena by Bartel. It was caught 

 at Medje, May 6, 1910. 



(244) 24. Eur3rphene chloeropis Bethune-Baker 



Euryphene chloeropis Bethune-Baker, 1908, Ann. ]\Iag. Nat. Hist., (8) II, p. 474. 

 Aurivillius, 1912, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p. 178. 



I refer a single male captured at Medje in the early part of April to 

 this species, with the description of which it appears to agree very closely, 

 except in the expanse of wing. Baker records 72 mm. for the spread of 

 the specimen he described, while the individual before me has a spread 

 of only 58 mm. 



(245) 25. Euiyphene luteola Bethune-Baker 



Euryphene luteola Bethune-Baker, 1908, Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., (8) II, p. 474. 

 Aurivillius, 1912, Seitz, Gross-Schmett., XIII, p. 179. 



There are two males which agree very closely with the description 

 given by Bethune-Baker and which I accordingly refer to this species. 

 There are also two females which appear to me to be undoubtedly that 

 sex of this species. As the female of E. luteola awaits description, I may 

 briefly point out that, as is always the case in this genus, they exceed 

 the males in expanse of wing. The prevalent colors of the wings are 

 paler on the upper side, the light areas inclining to blue and not to 

 green as in the male. On the under side both wings are pale reddish 

 brown, the base of the costal margin blue as in the male, and the other 

 spots and markings as in the male but more diffuse and expanded. As 

 in the species listed just before this, there is a discrepancy in the matter 

 of the expanse of wing between the individuals before me and the male 

 described by the author of the species. Bethune-Baker gives 77 mm. 

 as the expanse, l)ut the two males before me measure not more than 57 

 mm., while the females have a spread of from 68 to 70 mm. 



The specimens are from Medje.
