The Buttcrjlics of Chile. 275 



Port Blest on Lake Nahuelhuapi in February. I have 

 figured a male of this species as it appears to be 

 undescribed. 



4. Elina calvertii, n. sp. (Plate XIV, figs. 3 <^ , 4 $.) 



This species was not uncommon in the forest below the 

 Bafios de Chilian in December, when I took five males 

 and one female in fair condition. I also found a single 

 female in the thick forest on Lake Quillen in Argentina 

 on February 3rd ; and there is in the British Museum a 

 female taken by Edmonds below the Baths of Chilian, 

 which Butler has mistaken for the female of ncomyrienelcs 

 and marked as such. There is a distinct patch of velvety 

 androconia on the fore-wing in this species and the last 

 which is not found in tlie species of Elina, and they are 

 probably not congeneric. The base of the fore- wing below 

 in E. calvertii is, like that of E. edmonchii, fulvous, which 

 distinguishes it at once from ncornyrioiclcs, and the lower 

 part of the band on the hind-wing below is also much less 

 defined and does not form a conspicuous white patch on 

 the costa. On the upper-side the band is also much less 

 distinct forward. 



5. Pedaliodes Jiora.

Neither in its appearance, habits, nor flight has this 

 species any affinity with Elina Icfebvrei or with any other 

 species of Elina that I observed. I found it abundant in 

 marshes overgrown Avitli reeds, bushes, and great tufts of 

 Gunnera scabra on the cast shore of Lake Llanquihue, where 

 it was fresh in February. It has a slow flight amongst 

 the rushes and bushes, and is very easy to take. The 

 females differ but little from the males. Edmonds found 

 it common in marshes at Valdivia.
