186 Mr. F. Du Cane Godman on Descriptions of 



Ewptychia stigmatica, sp. n. (Plate X, fig. 2, £.) 



<$ . Very similar to E. cserulea, Butl., but paler blue, the primaries 

 with an elongated brand about the middle of the inner margin 

 composed of intermixed white and reddish-brown scales, the broad 

 blackish border less sharply defined, the transverse blackish streak 

 beyond the cell distinct ; beneath bluish-grey, the lines crossing 

 the wings broader. 



Hob. Argentina, Entre Rios (H. H. Smith). 



One specimen. This insect in size, colour, and marking 

 resembles the female of E. cserulea, but wants the inner 

 submarginal line on the secondaries and the line crossing 

 the cell on the primaries. The male has a very con- 

 spicuous elongate brand at the middle of the inner margin 

 of the primaries, a character not found in E. emrulea. 

 There is also a male of this species in the Hewitson 

 Collection at the British Museum ; it is labelled " Rio 

 River." A female placed with it in the same collection 

 no doubt belongs here. 



Euptycliia pcnicillata, sp. n. (Plate X, figs. 3, 2a, £ ; 4, $.) 



£ . Greenish-plumbeous, the primaries with a dense pencil of long 

 coarse brown hairs below the origin of the first branch of the median 

 nervure ; beneath greenish-brown, crossed by two common dark 

 brown lines, and with the usual wavy submarginal line of the same 

 colour, the primaries with three small ocelli, the subapical one 

 conspicuous, the others indistinct ; the secondaries with a series of 

 five ocelli, the second and last large and the others small. 



$ . Uniform brown above ; beneath as in the male, but the 

 ground-colour pale brown, becoming greyish towards the outer 

 margin. 



Hob. Amazons, Tapajos (Bates). 



One pair, which I have had for many years unnamed in 

 my collection. The male has a tuft of hairs on the fore- 

 wings as in the same sex of E. pilata, Butl., the hairs 

 themselves being coarser than in E. nmbrosa. 



Euptycliia scopulata, sp. n. (Plate X, figs. 5, 5a, £.) 



r£ . Allied to E. penicillata and having a similar tuft of hairs on 

 the fore-wings, but of a browner hue above ; beneath greyish, the 

 two common lines crossing the wings broader and of a red-brown 

 colour, the primaries with two ocelli only.
