  This 
  very 
  distinct 
  species, 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  section 
  of 
  the 
  

   genus 
  containing 
  E. 
  argentella 
  and 
  its 
  allies, 
  may 
  be 
  readily 
  

   distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  dentate 
  margin 
  of 
  the 
  secondaries 
  and 
  

   the 
  prolongation 
  of 
  the 
  anal 
  angle 
  j 
  the 
  blunt 
  apex 
  of 
  the 
  

   primaries 
  is 
  also 
  a 
  marked 
  feature. 
  

  

  Mr.

  obtained 
  several 
  specimens 
  in 
  the 
  higher

  Mr. 
  Champion 
  took 
  a 
  single 
  male 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  beauti- 
  

   ful 
  species 
  in 
  the 
  forest 
  of 
  the 
  Volcano 
  of 
  Tollman. 
  Its 
  

   nearest 
  ally, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  we 
  are 
  aware, 
  is 
  L. 
  euopis 
  of 
  Costa 
  

   Rica 
  ; 
  but 
  it 
  may 
  at 
  once 
  be 
  distinguished 
  by 
  the 
  blue 
  base 
  

   of 
  the 
  secondaries 
  in 
  the 
  male. 
  The 
  only 
  other 
  species 
  in 
  

   which 
  this 
  colour 
  is 
  exhibited 
  are 
  the 
  Colombian 
  L. 
  samius 
  

   and 
  L. 
  e(eruleata) 
  but 
  these 
  species 
  are 
  not 
  otherwise 
  allied.
