NYMPHALIDA—CYBDELIS. 
CYBDELIS CASTALIA. 4. 
Uprersivg dark brown. Both wings glossed with purple from the base to beyond the 
middle, margins excepted. 
Unversipr. Anterior wing with the base and inner margin gray ; centre black, with 
five white spots, one (within the cell) lunular ; apex brick-red. Posterior wing brick-red 
tinged with purple, with two spots of red-brown near the base, followed beyond the middle by 
two waved lines of the same colour inclosing four eyes, in pairs, black, pupils white, irides 
same colour as the wing, the upper pair in one iris. 
Expan. 2 in. Hab. Amazon. 
In the Collections of W. W. Saunders and W. C. Hewitson. 
CYBDELIS CLYTIA. 5, 6. 
UprersipgE. Male, dark brown ; both wings dull purple from the base to beyond the 
middle. Female light brown; apical half of the anterior wing dark brown, with five pure 
white spots. 
Unpersipe. Both sexes nearly alike. Anterior wing with the base and margins gray ; 
centre dark brown with the spots as above (clouded in the male); apex ashy white. Posterior 
wing ashy white, with three transverse waved black lines, the two lower inclosing four eyes in 
pairs, black, pupils blue, irides same colour as the wing, upper pair in one iris.

The five insects described above would form part of the third section of the genus Miscelia of Doubleday 
in the “Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera.” I have, however, preferred to adopt the genus Cybdelis of Boisduval. 
Two of the insects which form the second section (Catonephele) of the genus Myscelia, have been proved by 
Mr. Bates to be females of the orange-banded Hpicalias, and I have now no doubt that the butterfly, which I 
have figured in the first part of this work as M. Samaria, is also a female of an Hpicalia. When that plate 
was published I was unwilling to adopt the genus Miscelia, but was then ignorant of Mr. Bates’ discovery. 
The genus Miscelia must therefore cease. 
CYBDELIS EUROTA. 7. 
P. Eurota, Cramer. Callianira Eurota, Doubleday. 
UprersidE brown. Apical half of the anterior wing black, with an oblique band of three 
white spots across the middle, and two smaller spots between them and the apex. 
UnversinE red brown. Centre of anterior wing black, with the five white spots of 
the upperside, and a lunular brown spot near the base. Posterior wing as in the male. 
This is the female of P. Hurota, Cramer, and Callianira Eurota, of the “Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera.” 
I cannot understand why Mr. Doubleday has separated this from the other species of Cybdelis. It will be seen 
by the figures how closely they resemble each other in appearance, and, upon closer examination, I can see no 
reason whatever for their separation.
