terually, marked near the costaj with a black spot, ou each side 

 of which is a yellow dot, the outer one followed by two larger 

 ones of the same colour placed on each side of the discoidal ner- 

 vule j the margin with a series of seven triangular spots bordered 

 with black, the four nearest the apex yellow, the others cinereous. 

 Nervures, nervules and cilia fuscous. 



Posterior wings silvery white, the base with a black patch, 

 bounded anteriorly by the costal neiTules, marked with eight 

 yellow spots, and a single crimson one on the inner margin ; cell 

 with a slender black line along the median fold, throwing off a 

 slender branch internally near the end of the cell, this line 

 bounding externally a bright yellow vitta. Beyond the cell is a 

 series of yellow cuneiform spots bounded internally with black, 

 and there is a similar series on the outer margin ; the space be- 

 tween the first median nervule and the submedian nervure is 

 marked with a yellow vitta. Nervures, nervules and cilia black. 



Head, thorax, abdomen and legs fuscous, more or less clothed 

 with gray hairs; the abdomen paler below. Antennae black. 



This species and the last-described are very nearly allied, and 

 may possibly prove to be varieties of one species. The whole of 

 this group, of which Euterpe Semii^amis may be regarded as the 

 type, are very difficult to determine. 



Genus Leptalis. 

 L. Eumara. Lept. alls anticis supra nigris fascia media, alteraque 



pone medium macularibus flavis ; vitta baseos pallida testacea, 



posticis, supra, testaceis, margine, nervulis, lineisque inter nervulos 



nigris. Exp. alar. 2 unc. 4 lin. vel 60 millim. 

 Hab. America Meridionali. 



Above : anterior wings fuscous black, with a testaceous vitta 

 at the base upon the median nervure, extending along a space 

 about equal in length to one-half the inner margin of the wing ; 

 a macular band composed of a large spot, slightly divided by 

 the nervules, and of a much smaller one, extends from the middle 

 of the costa nearly to the anal angle, close to which on the inner 

 margin is a small yellow streak : near the apex is a transverse 

 band of four yellow spots. Posterior wings reddish, with the 

 outer margin broadly fuscous ; the median nervure and nervules, 

 a series of dashes between the nervules, also fuscous. 



Below : nearly as above, but all the colours paler ; the dark 

 border to the posterior wings less distinct. 



Head black, antennae black ; palpi yellow internally, black ex- 

 ternally. 



Thorax black above. 



Abdomen fuscous above, gray below.
