This insect is quite distinct from the antonoe of the ' Genera of 

 Diurnal Lepidoptera ;' that species is the libye of Linnaeus. It is also 

 widely distinct from the insect generally supposed upon the conti- 

 nent to be Cramer's species, and which I have here described and 

 figured as E. erichtho. 



82. Euptychia gigas, sp. n. (PI. XL. fig. 7.)

 rubro cincto alboque pupillato : corpus fuscum ; antennis flavis, 

 apice nigro, albo acuminatis. 



Alee subtus pallidiores, roseo tinctis, fascia media alteraque apud 

 basim rufo-fuscis ; area apicali paulo pallidiore, anticarum ochreo 

 variegata ; lineis duabus marginalibus undulatis unaque submargi- 

 nali angulis alternis undata fuscis : anticce ocellis tribus subapi- 

 calibus, apicali distincto, nigro, flavo cincto alboque pupillato, aliis 

 minimis brunneis, pupilla violacea, indistinctis : posticce ocellis 

 quinque paulo piriformibus , quinto maxima, prima, secundo quinto-

This species is of the same size as antonoe of Cramer, to which it 

 is allied ; it more nearly resembles E. libye in the pattern of the 

 underside.
