NYMPHALIDA—EPIPHILE. 
HPIPHILE. I: 
EPIPHILE OREA. ¢ 7, 8. 
Zemenis Orea Hubner Samml, Exot. Schmett. 
Hubner has figured the males of two species as the sexes of Orea. I have here 
figured the female of his figs. 1 and 2, and for the butterfly given by him at 
figs. 3 and 4 of the same plate as the female of his Orea, I propose the name of 
Epiphile Hubneri as a tribute to the memory of a man whose exquisite figures of 
butterflies give me pleasure every time I see them. 
EPIPHILE ADRASTA. 9, 10, 11. 
Urrrnsipz. Male black, crossed transversely by two bands of orange-yellow. 
The first band broad, of nearly uniform breadth, common to both wings, commences 
at the costal margin of the anterior wing near the base and continues through the 
posterior wing to the middle of its outer margin where it becomes wider. Anterior 
wing crossed obliquely from margin to margin by a band of the same colour; a 
small white spot near the apex. The apex rufous. 
UnpersiDE as above, but paler, except that the apex has two ocelli; one with 
the white spot (described above) as its centre, the other with a pupil of black. 
Posterior wing grey-brown, clouded before the middle by rufous-brown with the 
usual silvery-white spot on the costal margin and four indistinct ocelli im pairs beyond 
the middle. 
Female differs from the male in having the base of the anterior wing, and the 
whole of the posterior wing (except the apex, which is black), rufous, and the band 
of the anterior wing of a pale yellow, more sinuated, and not reaching to the outer 
margin, and in having a small black spot and submarginal band. On the underside 
the sexes are alike. 
Expan. 25% in. Hab. Mexico. 
In the Collections of W. W. Saunders and W. C. Hewitson. 
I have adopted the name by which this species stands in the collection of Dr. Boisduval, at the 
same time that I enter my protest against the custom (so prevalent on the Continent) of giving 
manuscript names to insects.
