ERESIA. Boitsduval. 
ERESIA PHILLYRA. 1. 
Urrrrsipe. Anterior wing black. At the base, a broad unequal horizontal band of 
orange intersected by black nervures, on the middle of the wing an oblique band of four 
oblong portions commencing at the costa, and between it and the apex, which it crosses, 
a similar band of three oval spots, followed along the outer border of the wing by five 
other oval spots, all yellow. Posterior wing orange, surrounded, except on the inner 
margin, and divided horizontally in its centre by a belt of black. On the apex two oval 
spots of yellow, and parallel to the outer margin a row of minute lines besides the usual 
marginal ones. 
Unversine only differs in having the submarginal linear spots of the posterior wing 
larger and silvery. 
Expan. 2° in. Hab. Mexico. 
This is the largest known species of Eresia, and is especially interesting from its analogical resem- 
blance to other genera. In form it might be taken for a Euterpe, whilst in colour it differs but slightly 
from a Leptalis. 
It is in the Collection of W. W. Saunders. 
ERESIA PELLA. 2. 
Uprersivg. Anterior wing black, two triangular patches at the base, and a small 
spot upon the outer angle, rufous, touching the basal spots, and obliquely across before the 
middle a belt of three spots, beyond the middle a second continuous band parallel to it, 
deeply sinuated, commencing on the costa, and nearly reaching the outer margin, and a 
line across the apex, all yellow. Posterior wing rufous (lightest above the belt), the upper 
and outer margins, and a horizontal central belt, black. 
Unpersive as above, with the addition of several spots of yellow near the outer 
margin of the anterior wing, and near the same margin of the posterior wing a double 
row of lunular spots besides the usual marginal ones. 
Expan. 2 in. Hab. Amazon. 
This species is nearly allied to Hresia Eunice as well as to H. Erysice. 
In the Collections of W. W. Saunders and W. C, Hewitson. 
ERESIA PELONIA. 3. 
Urrersipg. Anterior wing, with the base and the whole of the inner margin to 
nearly the middle of the wing, orange, the median nervure in it broadly black ; separated 
from the orange by two square spots of black, an unequal band of yellow crosses the
