Mr. Hewitson, at the end of his description of this species, sug- 

 gests the possibility of E. itonis and E. furina being merely sexually 

 distinct. I cannot agree with him in this particular, as we have 

 female insects very much more nearly allied to furina, such as E. 

 gemmula ; but even these are so unlike furina and its male allies 

 that I should not dare to place them together without some proof 

 of their identity. 



Swainson says of his Satyrus argenteus, an insect allied to itonis, 

 " the two sexes are perfectly similar." 



107. EUPTYCHIA JUNONIA, Sp. n. 



cJ . Alee anticee elongatce, margine postico angulo medio, concavato ; 

 alee supra fuscee immaculatee, posticee lineis tribus marginalibus 

 nigro-fuscis duabusque intermediis pallidis : corpus cinereo-fus- 

 cum ; ant ennis supra cinereis, subtus Jlavescentibus, fascia subapi- 

 cali nigra. 



Alee subtus cinereo-f usees, fasciis duabus mediis, posticarum valde 

 irregularibus fuscis, interna posticarum marginis interni medium 

 vix attingente, externa ocello sexto inlerrupta ; aliter velut in E. 

 furina, ocellis autem paulo minoribus, linea submarginali valde 

 undulata, marginalibusque tenuibus : corpus ochreo-cinereum.

Closely allied to E. furina, Hewitson, but quite distinct.
