the dull yellow spot of the upper sides. Head, antennae and body 

 black-brown. Abdomen with a yellow line on either side. 



Hab. Surinam. (Cramer.) 



Expansion of wings, 1-^^ inches. 



In the Collection of Mr. Conrad Loddiges. 



For an opportunity of describing this rare insect I am indebted 

 to Mr. C. Loddiges. No lengthened description from the speci- 

 men has before appeared. It has been only known up to the 

 present time by the figure of Cramer. It is a female, and closely 

 allied to the two females just described {E. Glaphyra and E. 

 Pandama). Mr. Loddiges is not aware of the native locality of 

 his specimen.

I retain this species among the true Erycinas, because other 

 Entomologists have done so on account of its short obtuse tail, 

 but it appears to me to belong to another group, and should not 

 be placed here. The specimens from Para have the ground- 

 colour darker, and the yellow bands broader and brighter, than is 

 represented in the figures of Drury and Cramer.

I have thought it desirable to give a figure of this species, that 

 the differences between it and the following closely-allied species 

 inay be the more easily distinguished.
