I860.] MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE GENUS EUPTYCHIA. 461 



This species differs from ocypete in being longer in the wings and 

 not 60 distinctly glaucous, in having the anal ocellus above distinctly 

 bipupillated, the bands of the underside broader and becoming red- 

 dish at the anal angle of the hind wings, and also in having three 

 apical ocelli instead of two in the front wings ; this last, however, is 

 a variable character in E. ocypete. 



5. EUPTYCHIA MYNCEA. 



Papilio myncea, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. pi. 293. f. C (1782). 



Euptychia myncea, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 54. n. 516 

 (1816) ; Westw. & Hewits. Gen. Diurn. Lepid. p. 373. n. 5 (1851). 



Satyrus myncea, Godart, Enc. Meth. ix. pp. 463 & 488. n. 36 

 (1819). 



Neonympha clerica, Herrich-Schaffer, Lep. Ind. Syst. (1864). 



Hab. Guiana (Westw.); Brazil. B.M. 



Var. a. Posticce supra macula anali minus distincta ; anticce subtus 

 macula postica fiava distinctiore, posticce ocellis minoribus. 



Hab. Para. B.M. 



This variety of myncea has hitherto stood in the National Col- 

 lection under the name of crantor of Fabricius — a species which, if 

 the figure of Donovan be correct, it is wholly unlike, and which we 

 do not possess. 



Var. b. Alee subtus cinerascentes. 

 Hab. Para (Coll. Bates). 



Var. c. Alee subtus fasciis rufescentibus ; anticce macula flava 

 valde distincta ; posticce margine postico latiore intusque fulvo 

 marginato, ocellis mediis parvis. 



Hab. Honduras. B.M. 



This has also been considered a variety of C. crantor (vide Gen. 

 Diurn. Lepid. p. 3/3. n. 7, localities). Fabricius's description does 

 not, however, suit either of these forms ; he describes the underside 

 as having two ocelli in the front wings. Both of these varieties have 

 three apical ocelli, the highest of which is the only pupillated one, 

 the other two being merely silvery spots with indistinct dusky irides. 



6. Euptychia palladia, sp. n. (PL XXXIX. fig. 21.) 



Alee supra fuscee, fasciis duabus apud basim (interna indistincta) 

 obliquis integris ; margine postico, linea marginali aliaque sub- 

 marginali undulata fuscis ; margine anali posticarum albicante : 

 anticce ocello apicali, posticce uno anali, nigris flavo cinctis et 

 argenteo bipupillatis : corpus cinereo-fuscum, antennis pallidis 

 rufo-fuscis. 



Alee subtus albidce, fasciis duabus mediis, posticarum minime con- 

 vexis ; lineis duabus marginalibus aliaque submarginali undulatis 

 fuscis, externa anticarum integra, interna angulis alternis, lineis 

 internis ad angulum analem posticarum latioribus flavescenti- 

 busque : anticce ocellis tribus ochreo cinctis et fusco circumcinctis 

 subapicalibtis, maculisque duabus insuper parvis piriformibus
