behind the cell, a broad white band being in the distal half shortly parted by black. Panama to Brazil. — 



r(i<hintuni.9. cachinnans G. d: S. (161 e) is presumably only a subform of it, the white band on the hindwing beneath 



being broader, and the body and base of wings being suffused with gi-een. Likewise described from Panama. 



inilkis. E. miltas G. d- S. (161 e) from Mexico differs by the hindwings being lighter beneath, with torn 



darker macular bands; the white band is only visible at the proximal angle as a diffuse spot. 



rrixon. E. crison G. d- S. (161 e) greatly resembles cachinnans beneath, but the band of the hindwing is 



above dull blue, parted at the greenish costal margin, whereby it has the shape of a Y. C-entral America. 



hijster. E. hyster Dyar (166 d) is likewi.se similar, smaller, above darker with reduced discal spots. Beneath 



the liindwings are at tiie base of a dark blackish-brown, in the distal area liglit lilac grey with a bluish-grey 

 dusting: the broad white transverse band shows towards the costal margin 2 dark spots near its distal edge. 

 Sierra de Guerrero (Mexico). 



bioUcyi. E. biolleyi Mab. Forewing above with a short white band composed of 4 dissimilar spots, hindwing 



beneath without a white discal band, but with a spatulate, prolonged lobe with white edges and fringes. 



To this genus belong yet a number of Hesperid forms having for some reason or other been described 

 giiaiema- as Thymele, Goniitrus etc., and presumably do not all deserve denominations. Thus ,,T}iyme]e" guatemalaina 

 lahui. \^ allied to profev.s, though the spots are not so distinctly separated; beneath the palpi are reddish-yellow, thorax 

 brown, abdomen ash-grey. Forewing light brown, at the proximal margin still lighter, spots like above, hindwings 

 dark chestnut-brown with a narrow, flesh-coloured marginal band, beginning on the costa near the apex and 

 extending to the lower median rib. All the fringes a little lighter than the ground-colour. Expanse 49 mm, 

 the tails 6 mm. From f'ayabon in Guatemala. 



horja. „Thymfle" borja EJirm. The body above very dark brown. Both wings in the ground fawn-coloured, 



with a dark brown margin, the fringes a little darker tlian the ground-colour. The body beneath dark brown, 

 the forewings lighter than above, with diaphanous spots like above, and two dark brown undulate lines on 

 the band. Hindwings like the forewings, on the costa near the base a four-cornered spot, laterally to it two 

 dark brown .streaks on the band. The tails are 10 14 mni long. Expanse of wings: 49 mm. — Borja, Bolivia. 



ihipmei. ,,Thymele'' thiemei Ehrm. seems to be allied to End. eurycles (160 e). Above dark brown, the tails 



almost blackish-brown. All the fringes light brown, at the tails black. Beneath light brown, forewing with 

 a prominent band, in the apical area a large, dark brown, triangular spot; in the hindwing the markings are 

 like in T. eurycles Latr. The tails are 18 mm long, the expanse of wings: 4514 mm. From Honduras. 



trrrarina. ,,Thymele'' terracjna Ehrm. $ above very dark brown, thorax, however, covered with long green scales. 



Forewing dark brown, in tlie basal area light greenish, at the distal end of the discal cell there is a large, V-shaped, 

 transparent spot, above this spot on the costa there are two narrow, oblong spots of the same coloiu-. Below 

 the discoidal cell in the limbal area, there is an almost straight row of three diaphanous lunae, in the apical 

 area a curved row of 6 transparent spots between the costa and the upper median rib. Hindwing dark brown, 

 the basal area dusted green. Fringes of a pure white. Forewing beneath light chestnut-brown with transparent 

 spots as above. Hindwing beneath very dark brown, at the apex ash-grey, between the median and the lower 

 submedian some white dusting. Expanse of wings: 64 mm. — Remedios, Colombia (South America). 



vUffhnana. ,,Thymele"' viterboana Ehrm. (sex ?). Body above olive-brown. Forewing above in the ground chestnut- 



brown, in the basal area bluish-green, transparent spots like in T. harpagiis Feld., but less distinct. Hindwings 

 of a darker ground-colour than the forewings, costa lighter, median area of a nice olive-green. Under surface 

 dark brown, forewings beneath lighter than above, in the distal marginal area, however, darker, the spots as 

 above. Hindwing dark brown, basal and costal areas lighter, in the marginal area two lighter brown streaks. 

 Tails 414 mm, expanse of wings 55 mm. Socorro, Colombia (South America). 



rlmpaini. .fioniwus"' cleopatra Ehrm. from Venezuela (Suapure) only measures 39 mm, and is certainly allied 



to Eud. orion Or. $ above dark brown, the costa from near the base to the hyaline stripe expanding across 

 the cell is white, the stripe on the fascia and the spots in the subapical zone as in G. triptolemus, beginning from 

 the cell the marginal area and the tails are white like the fringes. Hindwing dark brown, the dorsal area dusted 

 white beginning from the median cell, the fringes of the apical and dorsal margins are dark brown. — Beneath the 

 body is lighter than above, with faintly indicated two lateral bands on the venter, legs dark brown. Ground- 

 colour of forewings much lighter than above, the dorsal area is white. In the hindwing the ground-colour is very
