"When I first began to study this group of Butterflies, only seventy- 

 one species were catalogued ; several of these, however, upon 

 careful examination, proved not to be congeneric. My mono- 

 graph of Euptychia, read before the Zoological Society in 1866, 

 added sixty new species ; and a supplementary paper which ap- 

 peared in the following year added ten more. 



Since the appearance of my memoir on the genus, the number 

 of species has gradually increased to 179 ; it is therefore only 

 natural that the determination of the novelties which still con- 

 tinue to arrive from all parts of Tropical America, should have 

 become a laborious operation. Whilst adding to this trouble by 

 making known to science several interesting species from the 

 collections of Dr. Staudinger and Mr. Osbert Salvin, I propose to 

 counteract it in a great measure by grouping the allied forms 

 together and presenting them in a tabular form for the sake of 

 easy reference. 



Genus Eupttchia, Hiibner.
