 white transverse line, at the costal margin, in the middle of the wing and before the anal angle. On the other 

 hand the first transverse line (that nearest to the base) is on both wings distinctly white and distally margiared 

 mclniiw. with brown. — melatiia form. vov. differs still more. In it the white median band has disappeared entirely 

 and in its place a black line runs through the deep dark browji ground-colour. The basal transverse band 

 is also much darkened, so that it is uaconspicuous. Tlie eye-spots and the broad, light marginal band, however, 

 are as in the type-foi'ni. Both forms were found by Fassl at Carmen in West dolombia. inlerrvpta at l(if»(i m. 

 in December, niclnniii at 1200 m. in October. 



.faii/riixi. E. satyrina Bates (= Tayg. cecilia Bdv.) (-18 e). Above brown with a black, white-puinlled. sometimes 



very indistinct eye-spot at the anal angle of the hindwing. Beneatli likewise brown with 2 parallel, nearly 

 straight, dark l)rown transverse stripes crossing the middle of both wings, the inner one distally, the outer 

 one proximally bordered with ochre-3'ellow. The distal margin of the forewing is rather broad, lighter reddish 

 brown, and shows before the apex a small black, white-pupilled ocellus. The hindwing has anteriorly two and 

 posteriorly one similar but larger ocellus. The species is very variable. From TJuatcmala, Costa Rica, Panama 

 hicfrla. and Mexico. — incerta Btlr. is a form of satyrhid which differs in the ligliter brown ground-colour of the under 

 surface anxl has 5 eye-spots on the hindwing beneath. Occasioiially the 3rd and 4th of these eye-spots are 

 small, but all have distinct white pupils. There are further 2 white dots on the forewing. Occasionally also the 

 ochre-yellow bordering of the brown, median stripes is absent. A $ of this form has on the upperside of the 

 forewing a reddish yellow-brown band, differing somewhat from the ground-colour, and oir the luiderside of 

 the hindwing only two eye-spots in cellules 2 and 5. Between these are placed in cellules 3 and 4 three small 

 r/;.(/rt.9. white spots. From Costa Rica. — gigas Btlr. (48 e) is a rather large form of salijrina, in which the forewing 

 has 3 ocelli on the under surface (one larger and 2 smaller) and the hindwing five large ones, the first, second 

 and last black, with yellow iris and white ])U])il : the third and fourth ai-c brown with white }ni]iil. From Mexico. 



Hc^m. E, tiessa Heiv. Size of the preceding. Above dark brown with black submarginal line. The hindwing 



is dentate and has in the anal angle an indistinct eye-spot with brick-red ring. The under surface (according to 

 Hewitson) is brown from the base to the middle. Both wings are traversed before the middle by a red-brown 

 band, and at the middle by a broader band of the same colour. Then follows a broad grey band, on which is 

 placed a bro wn stripe with the eye-spots ; these consist of a small one near the costa of the forewing and 3 on the 

 hindwing, namely 2 at the apex and 1 at the anal angle. All the eye-spots are black with reddish iris, 

 dark brown ring and white pupil. 2 submarginal stripes and the margiji red-brown. The stripe on the hindwing 

 is dentate like the margin. — The figure in Btttler Lepid. Exot. pi. 18 fig. 4 does not agree with this description 

 of Hewit.son's as regards the ground-colour of the wings and the colouring of the eye-si3ots. According to this 

 figure the ground-colour of both wings is light reddish grey or flesh-coloured all over with a lilac band beyond 

 the middle, whilst Hewit.sox says the basal half of the wings is brown and the band grey. The iris of the eye- 

 spots according to Butler is light yellow. Hewit.son calls it rufous. Godman and Salvin describe the species 

 with 5 eye-spots on the hindwing, of which 2 are indistinct. From Nicaragua, Cosla Rica, Panama and Ecuador. 



libye. E, libye L. (= harpyia FUlr.) (4s e). Above olive-brown with two dark brown marginal lines and one 



submarginal line, beneath much lighter, more or less inclining to lilac, with 2 straight, rust-brown stripes, one 

 before, the other in the middle: the former crosses the cell on both wings, the latter on the forewing only 

 touches its posterior angle, on the hindwing it enters the cell at the point of origin of vein 5 and leaves it between 

 that of vein 2 and that of vein 3. Before the apex of the forewing a small roun.tl ocellus, 5 oval ocelli on the v 

 hindwing, of which the 1st, 2nd and 5th are black with very indistinct pupils and yellow ring, thickened at the 

 proximal side, the rest indistinct, lihye is a common and widely distrilnited species. Guatemala. Honduras.

 lihj/niilm. — libyoidea Btlr.. is a form of libye, somewhat larger, with the forewing more produced at the apex and the 

 hindwing less strongly dentate. On the under surface are placed on the forewing four distinct black-brown eye- 

 spots with yellow rings and with white pupils formed of irregular white dusting, the ocelli of the hindwing 

 are much larger than in the type-form, the largest, in cellule 2, measures (> mm. in length and 4 mm. in breadth. 

 In the course of the 2nd (outer) median stripe I notice another difference from libye, which Butler has not 

 mentioned. In the figure of libyoidea in theProc. Zool. Hoc. Lond. 1867 pi. H fig. 13this stripe intersects the lower 

 angle of the cell on the forewing, whilst in libye it only touches it. On the hindwing it enters the cell between 

 the points of origin of veins 4 and 5, thus on. the lower discocellular, and leaves it between veins 3 and 4, 

 whilst in libye, as mentioned above, it enters the cell at the origin of vein 5 and leaves it between veins 2 and 3. 

 fymci/i.s-. From Nicaragua. — gracilis form., nov. (48 f) is a further form of libye, differing chiefly in having the two straight, 

 reddish brown median stripes on the under surface of both wings placed more distally. On the forewing the 2nd. 

 outer stripe is situate at a distance of 2 mm. from the cell. On the hindwing it crosses the loM'er discocelhilar 

 as it enters the cell and the median at the orighi of vein 3 as it leaves it, and is thus placed somewhat fuither 

 distad than even in libyoidea. In consequence of this gracilis has the marginal area much narrower. On the fore-
