Hal. Colombia. 



I now have three males of this species, two sent by Dr. 

 Staudinger and one by Wheeler, the latter being labelled 

 as coming from the neighbourhood of Bogota. It is allied 

 to E. cnpeiila, G. and S.,* but differs in having the blue 

 lustre on the upper-side brighter and on the primaries 

 confined to the outer half. This colour is seen only when 

 the insect is held in a certain light. The female is pro- 

 bably of a pale fuscous colour with a broad white band 

 crossing both wings, as in E. ci'pcpla. 



Eurygona fabia, sp. n. (Plate XX, fig. 11, $.) 



^. E. tarintx similis sed dimidio anticarum et margine exteruo 

 posticariun purpurascenfcioribus; subtus magis ferrugineis, fiiscia 

 externa fere obsoleta, posticis ocello ultra lineam alliam absente.

 {Bvcl'hy). 



Of this insect I have three males, and have seen others 

 from San Paulo in the late Dr. Staudinger's collection. 

 E. falia is a very close ally of E. cwpcpla, from which it 

 differs in having the blue of the fore- wing less extended, 

 and on the under-side it is of a more ferruginous colour, 

 the ocellus of the hind-wing, too, is not edged with white 

 externally. 



Mesenopsis fulchella, sp. n. (Plate XX, fig. 12, $.) 



$. Alis nigris, litura lata mediana a basi extensa (ultra celliilam 

 albo-terminata) rufo-aurantia ; posticis qiioque litura mediana a basi 

 fere ad marginem externum extendente ; subtus sicut supra sed ciliis 

 ad angulum analem posticarum albis ; corpore supra nigro ; palpis 

 et pedibus ochraceis; capite, collo et ad aljdominis basin aurantiacis. 



Hah. Amazons, Massauary {ex Staudinger). 

 A very close ally of M. melanocMora, G. and S., from 

 Central America, but differs from it in having the broad 



* Mr. Schaus quotes this insect under the name of E. eupiola, 

 Hew. This is doubtless an error, as Hewitson described no such 

 species.
