84. EUPTYCHIA LIBYOIDEA, Sp. n. 



c? . Alee supra fuscce immaculatce, lineis marginalibus velut in E. 

 libye dispositis : subtus pallida, albido-cinerece , lineis duabus me- 

 diis integris obliquis rufo-fuscis : anticee ocellis quatuor apud mar- 

 ginem posticum nigro-fuscis, fiavo cinctis et irregulariter atomis 

 albis pupillatis ; serie ocellorum ad costam punctis duobus fuscis 

 continuata ; linea submarginali nigro-fusca irregulari, apud 

 costam angulis alternis arcuata ; lineis duabus marginalibus tenui- 

 bus nigro-fuscis : posticce ocellis quinque submarginalibus pirifor- 

 mibus, secundo et quinto majoribus, quinto maxima, jlavo cinctis 

 et albo pupillatis, tertio et quarto fuscis, aliis nigris ; ocello simili 

 minimo ad marginem internum, fasciam externum mediam termi- 

 nate ; linea submarginali irregulari rufo-fusca ; dimidio apicali 

 angulis alternis undato ; duabus marginalibus tenuibus undulatis 

 nigro-fuscis : corpus ochreo-fuscum ; antennis albido-ferrugineis, 

 fusco subacuminatis.

This species is closely allied to E. libye, Linn., of which at first 

 I imagined it to be a variety ; but I am now quite satisfied that it is 

 a good and distinct species ; it differs from it as follows : — in being 

 about a quarter of an inch larger in expanse of wing ; the front wings 

 more produced at the apex, with no pale discal spot* ; the hind wings 

 not so abruptly scalloped ; on the underside it differs in being of a 

 much more uniform colour, with narrower and more distinct central 

 bands, the submarginal lines also being more irregular ; in having 

 four more or less distinct ocelli in the front wings ; and the ocelli of 

 the hind wings very much larger and more distinctly pupillated.

5 • Alee supra velut in E. libye; subtus anticce colore simili, linea 

 irregulari sinuata et dentata post medium posita, altera submargi- 

 nali undata duabusque marginalibus integris nigro-fuscis, punctis 

 tribus subapicalibus minutissimis albis serie angulata positis : 

 posticce obscuriores, linea apud basim angulata, altera post medium 

 irregulari undata, tertia submarginali sinuata ad marginem inter- 

 num secundam adjungente duabusque marginalibus undulatis nigro- 

 fuscis ; ocellis quinque, secundo quintoque nigris iri.de tenuissima 

 flava pupillaque alba, aliis reniformibus ochreo-fuscis, apicali 

 albo pupillata.

86. Euptychia vastata, sp. n. 



Aloe supra fuscce cupreo nitentes : corpus fuscum, prce nigrescens ; 

 antennis supra nigro-fuscis, subtus albido fasciatis flavescetitibus. 

 Alee subtus olivaceo-fuscee : posticce et area apicalis anticarum undis 



* This is also the case with Panama specimens of E. libye.
