tion these spots are seen to be edged with whitish. Beginning at subcostal 
space, at a point one third distance from apex to base, is a line of six inter- 
spacial semicircles of a rich red brown color, extending downward to lower 
median nervule. These are edged with whitish on outer edge. 
Under side of hind wing same ground color as fore wing. Basal area dusted 
with bronzy scales. The marginal border and the double line of indistinct 
spots is the same as on fore wing, excepting that the spots in interspaces next 
above and below the tail are black, surrounded on basal side by a semicircle of 
reddish brown. Beginning near apex and extending across the wing to nearthe 
centre of inner margin, is an irregular line of rich red brown, having a white 
edge on outer side. At the submedian nervule this line forms a V. 
Taken in May, 1899. This species is very variable in size. 
Euptychia monahani sp. nov. 
Habitat: Bolivia. | Expanse: 1.40 inches. 
Head, thorax and abdomen, very dark brown above; beneath, a shade 
lighter. Antennae and legs, above, very dark brown; beneath, yellowish. 
Entire upper surface of both wings rich dark bronzy brown. In a strong 
light the marginal third of wings is a little lighter. 
Under side of fore wing blackish brown. Hind margin edged with a fine 
line of grayish. One sixteenth inch within the margin is a somewhat irregular 
line of very dark brown, starting at costa and disappearing at lower submedian 
nervule. At the apex, between this line and the hind margin, the space is 
heavily dusted with grayish scales, disappearing midway to lower angle. Above 
the lowest submedian nervule, one eighth inch from hind margin, is an ocellus 
of black with a white dot at its centre and encircled by a thread of light brown. 
Above this, and resting on the next two nervules, are two minute white 
specks ; and in interspace above these, nearly in apical area, is a small spot of 
yellow. These markings are distinct, but not at all prominent. The inner 
marginal area near base is light brown. 
The under side of hind wing is rich blackish brown. The hind marginal 
area, outside of a line drawn from the apex to centre of inner margin, is 
light brown tinged with gray. The portion of this above the anal angle suf- 
fuses upward into the ground color. The portion bordering the hind margin 
is slightly darker. The hind margin has a thread of grayish. One sixteenth 
inch within this is an irregular dark line running from costa to anal angle. One 
quarter inch within this line is another, running from same point at costa and 
ending at inner margin one quarter inch above anal angle. This line is very 
near the dark basal half of the wing. In anal angle, in interspace above the
