other hand, it must he remembered that 74 is a male, while 68 

 and 72, the. specimens represented in rigs. 6 and 7, are females. 

 74- is also more worn than the other two, and this tends to 

 diminish the depth of the black markings. But, making all 

 allowances, 74 must always have been much less heavily 

 marked than 68 and 72. Burchell' 8 label, written in England, 

 is reproduced to the rigrht of the figure. 



Fig. 6. Dircenna dero, Hiibn., form rhoeo, Feld. A representation of 

 specimen 68. H. W. Bates believed that this form is replaced 

 by typical dero in S.E. Brazil, and yet six out of Burchell's 

 eight specimens from this very locality are rhoeo. Burchell's 

 label, written in Brazil, is reproduced to the right of the figure. 



Fig. 7. Dirceima dero. Hiibn., form rhoeo, Feld. A representation of 

 specimen 72, another heavily marked form, although the 

 median neryures of the hind wing are much less suffused with 

 black than in the specimen shown in fig. 6, which is peculiar in 

 this respect among all Burchell's captures. Burchell's label, 

 written in England, is reproduced to the right of the figure. 

 The figure appears to represent a butterfly with shorter broader 

 wings than those of the originals of figs, o'and 6. This is merely 

 the effect of fore-shortening, the wings of the former havin" 

 drooped after resetting. The obvious difference in the figures 

 is a convincing demonstration of the false impression of form 

 conveyed by the old British mode of setting with sloping wings. 



Fig. 8. Euptychia sp. A representation of specimen 259. Burchell's 

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

 below the figure. 



Fig. 9. Euptychia electra, Butl. A representation of the underside of 

 specimen 261. The four small submarginal ocelli on the fore 

 wing, which are so distinctly shown in the figure, are obsolete 

 in the type of electra, from Bahia. Burchell's two labels are 

 reproduced to the right of and rather below the figure. The 

 lower number, which is really on a separate label, was written 

 in Brazil, the upper number and the date in England. 



Fig. 10. Euptychia electra, Butl. A representation of the upperside of 

 specimen 262. Burchell's two labels are reproduced to the 

 right of the figure. They were written as described in fig. 9. 



Fig. 11. Taygetis virgilia, Cram. A representation of specimen 352. 

 The label, written by Burchell in England, is reproduced on the 

 right side. The rufous hind marginal border of the hind wings 

 is well indicated. This feature, which is characteristic of 

 Central-American specimens, is here found in both of Burchell's 

 captures (7. 9. 28) from the Maranhao River, to the N.E. of 

 Goyaz. 



Fig. 12. Taygetis virgilia, Cram. A representation of specimen 349. 

 The label, written by Burchell in England, is reproduced below 

 the figure. The pale brown border of the hind wings is seen to 

 be very different from that of fig. 11. The appearance here 

 shown is common to all three specimens from Rio (348 -350 ), 

 just as that of fig. 11 is common to the two from the Rio 

 Maranhao.
