MeCHANITIS LaBOTAS, 71. Sp. 



Allied to M. Donjssus, Bates, from w-hicli it differs by the lighter oclireous- 

 yellovv colour of the basal part of the front wings, the smaller size of the black 

 spots in cell and between first and second median nervules, and in the greater 

 width of the yellow belts across the apical black region. The lower wings 

 have but the faintest rudimentary trace of the black discal stripe, which is 

 always so well pronounced in M. Do)i/ssiis. The ground colour is of the 

 same ochreous-yellow as in the upper wings. Exp. 3 in. 2 lin.

EUPTTCIIIA BUTLERI, H. sp. 



Above. — Front wings white, very broadly fuscous on costal and outer 

 margins. Hind wings white, fuscous at base, and a somewhat broad fuscous 

 band at apical angle, narrowing and terminating about middle of outer 

 margin ; fringe fuscous ; two submarginal lines, inner one waved. The 

 ocelli on under side seen indistinctly on upper surface, especially the lower 

 one, which shuws a small black centre. Under side. — Kcsembles E. albo- 

 fasciata, Hew., but differs in the narrower and redder central lines, and 

 more especially in the size, shape and number of the ocelli, of which there 

 are three at apex of front wing, the uppermost brightest, with yellow iris 

 and silver centre. A submarginal row of five ocelli to lower wing, of which 

 the second and third are obscure and bi-pupilled, the first largest and 

 bi-pupilled, and the fifth near costa smallest. The two submarginal lines 

 are broadly ferruginous at anal angle. Exp. 1 in. 6 lin. 



It can easily be distinguished from all varieties of Euptychia ocirrho'e, 

 Fab., by the position of the largest ocellus, which is always the first one in 

 E. Butlcri.
