NYMPHALIDA—ERESIA. 
ERESIA GYGES. 45, 46.

spots. Anterior wing with seven large orange spots. Posterior wing with four trans- 
verse bands; the first rufous, the three followmg orange; the first and second united 
towards the inner margin. 
Unprrsipe. Anterior wing with the base orange, the middle dark brown, the 
outer margin broadly rufous: the spots as above, but larger ; one of them extending 
to the outer margin. Posterior wing pale rufous yellow, with darker spots on the 
costal and near the outer margins: a submarginal band of white lunular spots and 
three or four minute blind ocelli.

This species has a close resemblance to KE. Drusilla of Felder in the marking of the upperside, 
but differs from it in its much paler colour. 
ERESIA OTANES. 47. 
Uprersipr. Male, uniform dark brown: anterior wing with a small rufous spot 
near the apex. Posterior wing of a different colour, slightly tinted with purple: the 
outer margin of the same brown as the anterior wing. 
Unprrsipr. Anterior wing rufous brown; the base paler, crossed by bands of 
black : a spot on the costal margin, a triangular spot at the apex, and a spot near the 
outer margin, rufous white. Posterior wing grey and rufous, with several large 
rufous brown spots. 
Expan. 14%; inch. Hab. Guatemala. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
This butterfly was kindly added to my collection by Mr. Salvin. It may be only a variety of the 
next species, C. Acesas, of which I possess several examples, which are of the same size and of a spot- 
less brown above. 
ERESIA ACESAS. 48, 49. 
Uprrrsips. Female, dark rufous brown: anterior wing with two spots near the 
base and four or five near the outer margin orange yellow: two large indistinct trian- 
gular spots near the middle. Posterior wing crossed by three bands of spots; the 
first orange yellow, the others rufous. 
Unversipr. Anterior wing, with the base, two large spots in the middle, and 
a spot at the outer margin, orange: the apex grey, with lunular white spots. Pos- 
terior wing grey and rufous, with spots and lunules of paler colour and a submarginal 
band of lunules. 
Expan. 1,25 to 14% mch. Hab. Venezuela. 
In the Collections of W. W. Saunders and W. C. Hewitson. 
There are varieties of this species of much smaller size ; some of a uniform spotless brown, others 
with one, two, or three of the transverse bands of the posterior wing. 
I have thought it superfluous to describe minutely any of the species figured in the three accom- 
panying plates where both sides are given.
