NYMPHALIDA.—ERESIA. 
ERESIA CASIPHIA. 72, 73. 
Eresia Casiphia, Hew. Lquat. Lep. p. 25. 
Uprzrsipr. Male, dark brown. Anterior wing with a band from the base, a 
trifid irregular oblique band at the middle and a subapical band of four spots (the 
first minute) all rufous-orange. Posterior wing crossed longitudinally before the 
middle by a broad band of rufous-orange, intersected by black nervures, and by a 
submarginal band of the same colour: a minute spot of white at the apex. 
UnpERSIDE as above, except that the bands and spots are paler, that both wings 
have a submarginal series of white spots, that the anterior wing has three apical 
white spots besides, and that the submarginal band of the posterior wing is broader. 
Exp. 2 inches. Hab. Ecuador. (Jorge, Buckley.) 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
ERESIA LETITIA. 70, 75, 76. 
Lresia Letitia, Hew. Equat. Lep. p. 24. 
Uprrrsipe. Female, dark brown, crossed by a broad tripartite band, which, 
after nearly filling the cell, curves towards the outer margin where it is followed by 
a bifid spot: a triangular spot (which is divided into four by the nervures) beyond 
the middle of the costal margin, a large trifid spot between this and the apex, and a 
submarginal series of spots all pale rufous. Posterior wing crossed longitudinally 
before the middle by a broad pale rufous band intersected by black nervures: a sub- 
marginal band of lunular spots, and an apical white spot. 
UNDERSIDE as above, except that both wings have a submarginal black line, 
and that there is a double series of lunular pale spots near the outer margin of the 
posterior wing. 
The male is like the female, except that the spots are white, smaller and clouded 
with brown. 
Exp. 23’ inches. Hab. Ecuador. (St. Ines, Buckley.) 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
The ordinary colour of the female is, I suspect, white, like the male, and that the specimen 
figured may be considered as a variety.
