198 Mr. H. W. Bates on the Nymphalinze 
30. EHunica Clytia, Hewits. Exot. Butt. Cybd. f. 5, ¢; f. 6,9. 
The commonest species of the genus at Ega; in some years appear- 
ing by hundreds (almost all males) on the muddy margins of the river, 
in August and September. 
31. Hunica Veronica, n. sp. (PI. IX. fig. 1.) 
do. Same shape as £. Clytia (Hewits. l. c. f. 5), but a little larger. 
Wings, above, similar in colour, but of a richer and darker violet hue. 
Beneath: fore wing nearly the same in colour and markings as in £. 
Clytia, but wanting the dusky spot in the cell and the pale spot in the 
middle of the costa. Hind wing very different; being of an ashy hue 
with a violet tinge, and having only two pupils in the large anterior 
ocellus, both pale bluish, bordered with black, the ocellus itself being 
nearly circular, instead of irregularly oblong. The pupils of the two 
small anal ocelli are reduced to faint-brown points. The row of ocelli lies 
between two dark-brown undulating lines, and near the base of the wing 
are two thickish dark-brown streaks. 
The range of this species lies further to the west than Ega, at 
which station I did not meet with it at all. It was very abundant 
near Tunantins and St. Paulo, in company with a small number of 
E&. Clytia. Its distinguishing characters are quite constant in the 
scores of examples which I have inspected. 
32. Eunica pusilla, n. sp. (Pl. IX. fig. 5, 5a.) 
3. 1" 7'"-1" 9". Above dark blue, shining; outer portions of all wings 
dark brown, spotless: apex of fore wing very slightly produced and 
rounded. Beneath: fore wing with the basal third light brown, a dis- 
tinct round black spot in the middle of the cell on the inner side of a tri- 
angular pale-ashy spot; apex ashy, with a thin brown line; rest of wing 
blackish, crossed by a line of three ashy spots. Hind wing light brown, 
with a violet tinge, and with very faint and thin darker lines, namely, 
three short ones towards the base, and two crossing the wing and enclosing 
the three obscure ocelli, the anterior one of which is bipupillated, the costal 
pupil pale blue, and the other black. The anal ocelli have minute dusky 
pupils. 
@. Same shape and markings (beneath) as the ¢. Above light brown ; 
apical half of fore wing dusky, and crossed by two macular belts, one of 
three, the other of two, whitish spots. 
The @ of this species has some resemblance to P. Monima, figured 
by Cramer (pl. 387. fig. F. @.); but the markings of the under surface 
of the hind wings and of the cell of the fore wings are very different. 
Cramer gives to his figure the antenne of a moth, but explains in the 
text that the insect is tetrapod, and allied to P. (Hunica) Orphise; so 
that it probably belongs to this genus, notwithstanding its locality,
