Likewise near Tdijijvtin. the eyes na-Ui'd. The j)alj)us inueii more slender, its 2nd joint more tiiaii 

 twice as long as the head, the terminal joint pointed. The distal margin of the forewing with rounded 

 projection below the apex, that of the hindwing ahnost right-angled at vein 3 and obtusely angled at tlie 

 anal angle. For the rest the distal margin of the hindwing is slightly undulate. The upper discocelhilar vein 

 of the forewing is entirely absent. The genus has a similar range of distribution to the preceding, and like- 

 wise contains only one species, referred by many authors to E-uptychia.

 above i)rown with a small black spot at the margin of the hindwing above the projecting angle. Beneath light- 

 er, finely striated with brown all over, with 2 darker median stripes on both wings and a submarginal 

 line on the forewing. A black eye-spot with double silvery pupil and surrounded by a light brown and a 

 dark brown ring is placed in cellule 15 on the hindwing clo.se to the distal margin. Beside it at the distal 

 margin several silvery doul)le dots. The $ is somewhat larger and bears on the upperside of both wings a 

 rust-red line behind the middk-, according to the figure in GonM.VN also a second similarly coloured line before 

 the middle. Rare. From Mexico, (Juatenuila, Costa Rica. Elevations of 2000 — -7000 ft.

Distinguished fi'om all the other American Satyrid genera by not having the costal vein of the fore- 

 wing inflated, while on the other hand the median and submedian are strongly swollen at the base. The first 

 median vein arises just behind the swelling of the median stem. The eyes are naked. The shape of the 

 wings is longer than broad. The area of distribution is the west of tropical South America. 



0. typhia Dbl. <t- Heic (50 a). A species easy to recognize by the broad white band above and beneath, lyphla. 

 The basal area is above unicolorous and l)eneath marbled with brown and white. The dark biown distal mar- 

 gin is beneath divided for its entire length by a tri-coloured stripe, strongly dentate on the hindwing. This 

 stripe is distally orange, proximally white, the two colours separated by a black line. Rather common in Co- 

 lombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru; rare in Costa Rica. — sorata Godm. <£• S(dv. is a form of lyphla in which sorata. 

 the white band on both wings is narrower. In the distal margin are placed on the hindwing above white cres- 

 cents, on the forewing a whitish line, which markings are also often indicated in typhia. From Bolivia 

 (Callcan). 



15. Genus: I*jirjinn'<*«'ra J>ili'- 



Costal and uu'dian of the forewing inflated at the base, costal margin convex, distal margin slightly 

 excised, u})per discocellular short, middle discocellular longer and obliquely placed, behind the median in 

 the (J,^ a patch of dense, compact scales. Hindwing with the costa convex, distal nuirgin sinuate, imier mar- 

 gin excised at the anal angle. Eyes somewhat hairy, ])alpus strongly haired, the terminal joint slenderer and 

 directed more anteriorly than in Euptychiti. Antenna short, the club peai'-shaped, hollowed out on the under- 

 side. The single sj)ecies is Mexican and resembles the European Pararge megern. 



P. xicaque Reak. (= Neonympha epiniphele Fldr.) (50 a). Reddish brown, distal margin and the .i-iai<inc. 

 spot behind the median darker. Forewing with 2 or 3 round black sjiots. hindwing with 5, the distal mar- 

 gin of the hindwing is reddish at the anal angle and has 2 dark brown, parallel marginal lines. Beneath the 

 ground-colour is more yellowish with 2 strongly dentate median, a submarginal and 2 marginal lines. On the 

 forewing 2 or 3 eye-spots, the first large, the last small, and 6 eye-spots on the hindwing, all of fairly uni- 

 form size. The 9 is somewhat larger, otherwise similar to the ^, except that the l)rown s])ot behind tiie 

 median on the upperside is altsent. The species was formerly very rare, but has recently been found more 

 commonly. It inhabits the higher mountain regions of Mexico (Oaxaca, Jala])a, Puel)la, Misantla, IJolamios, 

 Maltrata, Guerrero, Vera Cruz, etc.). The figure is from^FELDER's type in the Tring Museum. 



16. Genus: Sai.vroilos Scudd. 



Only the costal of the forewing is s<imewhat thickened or slightly swollen, the first 2 subcostal veins 

 arise before the end of the cell, the upi)er discocellular is wanting. The nuirgin of both wings is rounded. The 

 eyes are slightly hairy, the palpus slender, beneath hairy, the 3rd joint short and pointed. One North American 

 species. 



S. canthus L. {— euridice •/(*//.. cantheus Godt., lioisduvalii Hnir.) (5(»a). The round brown sjxits canihiis. 

 of the upper siu'face are replaced beneath on both wings by a row of l)lack, white-pupilled eye-spots ringed
