172 Mr. 0. Salvin on new Species of Butterjlies 



semifalva described above, which, though frequently sent in 

 Andean collections, was not found by Mr. Whitely, is most 

 striking. It belongs to the same group as E. ennice, Hiibn., 

 but is unlike in coloration any species I am acquainted with. 



17. Eresia pusilla. 



J . Exp. 1*25 in. Like E. ofella, Hew., but differs in being 

 much smaller, the anterior wings being less produced. A 

 series of three white spots divide the costa of the anterior 

 wings into four portions, the basal portion being the largest ; 

 the costa itself is dull black, like the wings. Under each of 

 these spots is another larger spot, the innermost reaching to 

 the inner margin : the white belt of the hind wings is nar- 

 rower : beneath it differs chiefly in the arrangement of the 

 white spots of the anterior wings, which are placed as above ; 

 the hind wings have a distinct submarginal lunate band. 



Hah. Valley of the Cosnipata, East Peru {H. Whitely). 



18. Eunica chlororhoa. 



S . Exp. 2'60 in. Antennae long, black ; palpi white ; head, 

 thorax, and abdomen black : wings black, the outer half of 

 the posterior wings rich glossy green : beneath greenish grey 

 variegated with black spots — one across the cell of the ante- 

 rior wings, another transverse, with a bifurcation upwards at 

 the end of the cell, another transverse, followed by two elon- 

 gated spots beyond the cell, then an irregular narrow trans- 

 verse spot, followed by four round ones placed transversely, 

 then three more near the apical angle of the wing ; below this 

 series is a large black patch between the median nervure and 

 its first and second branches, another between the second and 

 third median branches, others beyond them again, and finally 

 a large patch near the anal angle : on the posterior wings a 

 tawny band stretches from the base of the wing over the inner 

 half of the cell, and inwards almost to the abdominal margin ; 

 it is then confined between the third median branch and lower 

 radial, spreading over the latter, however, as it approaches the 

 outer margin. Above this band there is a black spot between 

 the precostal and costal nervures, a series of fom* between the 

 costal and subcostal ; between the subcostal and upper radial 

 are three round spots, with a transverse thick line between 

 each of them ; a similar series is shown between the upper 

 and lower radials ; in the cell are three conspicuous spots ; 

 below the tawny line and between the third and second median 

 branches is a series of spots, as follows, — first a round one, 

 then a cross line curved downwards, then a large spot followed 

 by two others placed side by side, lastly a triangular spot
