304 Miss Cora 13. Sanders on the Rhopaloccra 



Euptychia penelope, Fabr. ^clam'ssa, Cram. 



Bz. 1332.+ 2. 3. 29. =254. Porto Real [Nacional]. 

 " Papilio. In woody places among the bushes. This 

 and its congeners fly in a very hovering zigzag manner 

 low among the bushes and herbage." 



Bz. 15. 3. 29. = 255. Porto Real [Nacional]. 



7. 6. 29. = 256. R. Tocantins. (As 226.) 



27. 7. 29. = 257. Para\ 



15*. 11. 29. = 258. Paid, S. Jose\ (As 230.) 



It is probable that the individuals of myncea and penelope 

 are considered together in Westwood's list. The dates here 

 recorded agree, except that 10. 8. 29 (252) is replaced by 

 10. 2. 29, probably a clerical error. The list furthermore 

 includes individuals captured on 29. 12. 28 (Porto Real) and 

 18. 6. 29 (Paid). 



Euptychia sp. 



28. 5. 28. 2 S = 259 (PL VI. fig. 8), 260. Goyaz. " Peak 



near C&nta GaMlo." " In summitate montis." Burchell's 



label, written in England, is reproduced to the right of 



and below figure 8. 



These specimens were submitted to Dr. F. D. Godman, 



who is unable to name them. Mr. F. A. Heron considers 



that the markings best agree with E. similis (Butl.), but he 



points out that the eyes of the latter are hairy, while those of 



259, 260 are naked. In the character of the distal end of the 



cell of the fore wing these specimens also best agree with 



similis and its allies. The marked development of the ocelli 



on botli wings is peculiar, together with the extent to which 



they appear on the upper surface. The fore wing is especially 



remarkable in these respects. The species is almost certainly 



new and both striking and distinct; but the specimens are 



unfortunately in such poor condition that it is impossible to 



make either of them types. As the locality and time of year 



are precise, it is to be hoped that some naturalist in Brazil 



will capture examples which may be described, and named 



after the great traveller and observer. 



Westwood's list agrees. 



Euptychia electra, Butl. 



Bz. 1306. + 8. 2. 29. 2=261 (PI. VI. fig. 9, showing 

 underside), 262 (fig. 10). Porto Real [Nacional]. " Bo- 

 racao." 

 "This genus is entirely sylvan, and delights to hover 



low among the herbage and thicker foliage. This was
