Alee supra albee, margine postico et antico anticarum paulo fusces- 

 centibus : anticce ocello subapicali fusco, distincto, albido cincto ; 

 fasciis ut in E. mollina dispositis : posticce lineis duabus irregu- 

 laribus marginalibus apud apicem connexis fuscis ; maculis fas- 

 ciisque aliis velut in E. mollina .- corpus ochreo-cinereum ; anten-

Alee subtus albce, fasciis rufofuscis, nee ad costam anticarum ap- 

 proximantibus, linea marginali anticarum valde irregulari, ocellis 

 duobus nee quatuor apicalibus.

This species, although somewhat resembling the mollina of Hiibner, 

 is far too distinct to be considered a mere variety ; the different 

 coloration, regular reddish central bands, more irregular double mar- 

 ginal lines, and small number of ocelli are quite characters enough 

 to warrant its separation as a species.

 Ala supra subtusque violaceo, cceruleo viridive varice. 



69. Euptychia picea, sp. n. 



Alee supra nigro-fuscce, margine postico paulo dilutiore, minime vio- 

 lascentes : anticce fasciis quinque nigris, prima basali brevi obli- 

 qua venee subcostalis basim marginante, secunda tertiaque mediis 

 obliquis ad costam approximantibus, quarta submarginali apud 

 costam intus currente, ad marginem internum tertiam approxi- 

 mate, quinta marginali: posticce fasciis nonnullis vix distinguen- 

 dis lineisque duabus marginalibus nigris : corpus fuscum. 



Alee subtus albiclce, violascentes, ciliis fuscis : anticce linea marginali 

 nigra, fasciis aliis velut supra rufo-fuscis, ocellis tribus subapica- 

 libus nigris ochreo-albo cinctis, apicali maxima alboque pupillato : 

 posticce fasciis quatuor, duabus basalibus, una media quartaque 

 submarginali lunulala ad costam et angulum analem tertiam ad- 

 jungente, linea marginali nigra; ocellis quatuor nigris albo 

 pupillatis et flavo cinctis inter fascias apicales positis, secundo 

 quartoque magnis, tertio quartoque iride una inclusis : corpus albi- 

 dum ; antennis supra fuscis, subtus albidis.
