Very nearly allied to M. latifasciata, from which it 

 differs in having- a discal spot on the underside of the 

 posterior wing. In this collection, there are examples 

 of M. latifasciata, in which the band of the posterior wing 

 is narrow and indistinct, as in the species now described. 



Compsotcria Gallixena . 



Female. Upperside. Dark brown. Anterior wing with 

 several spots of white : three in the cell, one below these, 

 large and divided by the second median nervule, an 

 oblique band of two spots (one trifid) and two minute 

 subapical spots : the inner margin gray. Posterior wing 

 gray, crossed obliquely by an equal band of white, 

 bordered on each side with brown, and divided into four 

 parts by the nervures : the outer margin brown, angular. 



Underside as above, except that both wings have a 

 submarginal series of white spots, and that the posterior 

 wing is white at the base, spotted with brown. 



Exp. 1\ inch. 



11 ah. — Gualaquisa. 



Although greatly differing in aspect from the two 

 transparent species which 1 have described, and indeed 

 from all the Erycinalxp, its neuration is identical with this 

 genus. 



Covipsoteria Ccltilla. 



Male. Upperside. Black. Anterior wing transparent 

 lilac-white from the base to beyond the middle (the 

 margins excepted), divided into five parts by the ner- 

 vures and a band which crosses the cell: a broad oblique 

 subapical band of the same colour divided into four parts 

 by the nervures. Posterior wing lilac-white, transparent, 

 the nervures and outer margin black. 



Underside. As above, except that the costal margin 

 of the posterior wing is white at its base, and that there 

 is a short linear spot of orange at the anal angle. 



Exp. 1-Jiy inch. 



llab. — Gualaquisa. 



Emesis angularis. 



Male. Upperside. Dark rufous-brown. Both wings of 

 unusual form, crossed by several bands of brown from the
