1877.] ON NEW BUTTERELIES, 63 
long, projecting far beyond the head, as in the genus Nica. Costal 
and median nervures of the anterior wing swollen towards their bases, 
almost as in the costal nervure of the genus Cystineura. General 
coloration as in the genus Epiphile. 
Type Temenis sylphis, Bates (Ent. Monthl. Mag. i. p. 113). 
Hab. Mexico and Guatemala. Mus. nostr. 
9. EUBAGIS IMMARGINATA. 
3. Exp. 1-7 in. Above uniform Zudagis green; the anterior wings 
without black spots or dark outer margin; posterior wings with a 
black margin, and a single black spot in the interspace of the median 
branches. Beneath, the markings almost exactly correspond to those 
of E. postverta (Cr.), the colour between the ocelli of the posterior 
wings being darker than in the above species.

10. Eunica mira. 
2. Exp. 2°45 in. Anterior wings with the apex pointed, the costa 
and outer margin uniformly convex ; margin of the hind wings 
rounded. Anterior wings deep purple black, with a greenish tinge, 
beyond the cell an interrupted band of paler greenish hue crosses the 
wing from the costa to inner angle, outside of which is a band of 
whitish ‘passing from the costa to the middle of the outer margin ; 
posterior wings deep brown, outer margin pale; dark submarginal 
spots near the apical angle. Beneath, both wings distinctly variegated 
with black spots and bands on a blue-green ground, apex of the 
anterior wings and margin of the posterior wings whitish, the former 
crossed by a line of black spots; the posterior wings have a line of 
fulvous spread over the regiou-of the median nervure, the inner 
margin being of the same colour.

This remarkable species, of which at present we have only received 
one damaged female specimen, belongs to the group containing Lunica 
sophronisba (Cr.), but is abundantly distinct from that species, both 
in the coloration and the pointed apex of the anterior wings. The 
male remains to be discovered. 
11. Eunica Excetsa. 
3 Exp. 2:95in. Similar to Z. cinara, Hew. (Ex. Butt. Oybd. t. i. 
f. 2), as to the markings of the undersurface; but above, instead of 
the smalt-blue of both wings being of a uniform tint, the hind wings 
are suffused towards their outer margin with glittering greenish blue, 
as in E£. venusia, Feld. (Voy. Nov., Lep. p. 407, t. 52. f. 3), and 
E. aspasia, Feld. (Wien. ent. Monat. v. p- 104). From the last- 
named species it differs in the greater extent of the smalt-blue of the 
anterior wings and in the paler ground-colour of the posterior wings 
beneath ; the glistening blue of the latter wings above is also greener 
and more refulgent.
