IX. Descriptions of some mew species of Satyridae from 

 South America. By Frederick Du Cane God- 

 man, D.C.L., F.R.S., etc. 



[Read March 1st, 1905.] 



Plate X. 



I take the opportunity of describing the following 

 apparently new species of South American Satyridae, which 

 have been for some time unnamed in my collection, before 

 handing them over to the Natural History Museum. 



Picrella chalybiea, sp. n. 



Very similar to P. lamia, Sulz., but differs in having rather more 

 than the basal half of the hind-wings in both sexes suffused with 

 steely-blue, the black rings round the subraarginal row of white 

 spots is almost or quite absent, the outer margin of these wings is 

 very broadly infuscate, and the two inner lines crossing the disc are 

 faint. 



Hob. Brazil, Chapada (H. H. Smith). 



I have two males and one female of this Picrella, which 

 seems sufficiently distinct to require a separate name. 

 The steely-blue suffusion of the basal area of the hind- 

 wings is strongly marked in both sexes. This character 

 also distinguishes it from P. rhea, Fabr. 



Euptychia analis, sp. n. (Plate X, fig. 1, £ .) 



$ . Very like E. bated, Butl. ; above faintly suffused with purple 

 and the hind-wings with a conspicuous patch of dark blue scales at 

 the anal angle, the two reddish-brown bands beneath broad and 

 visible from above. 



Hob. Amazons, San Paulo and Tapajos (Bates) ; Peru, 

 Pebas (Hawhslcy). 



Three males. This appears to be a form of E. batesi, 

 which also occurs at Tapajos, differing from it as 

 indicated above.
