374 ME. H. W. BATES — OATALOGITE OE EETCIKID^. 



Cramer's figure, in having on the fore wing a dark submarginal line 

 extending from near the hind angle nearly to the costa. This may 

 have been accidentally omitted in Cramer's figure. 



$ . Light brown, with dai-k streaks crossing the wings. 



Common near Obydos in Brazilian Guiana. 



Mesosemia Egabella. M. Philocles, var., Hewits. Exot. Butt. Mesos. 

 f. 62, 63 c?, 61 $. 



c? . The blue patch of fore wing commences about the middle of the cell 

 and does not blend into white on its outer side ; the ocellus is generally 

 quite surrounded by the blue, and is quite destitute of irides or en- 

 circhng lines. The costal streaks of the hind wing are much finer 

 than in the true Philocles ; there is no marginal brown line ; and the 

 submarginal line is distant from the outer edge of the wing and in- 

 terrupted. 



2 . Same as in § Philocles, but outer border of hind wing broadly 

 white. 



The Upper Amazons race of Philocles. Common at Ega. 



Mesosemia Calypso. 



c? . Same form of wings as M. Philocles. Above dark blue, glossy and 

 opalescent. Fore wing crossed by six black belts, two of which are 

 curved and enclose the black ocellus, which has a single white pupil. 

 Hind wing crossed by seven black belts. 



Beneath light brownish grey ; dark belts same as above, but brown in 

 colour. Fore-wing ocellus having three white specks — one larger, 

 central, and two minute external ; the ocellus surrounded by a fine 

 brown ring. Hind-wing ocellus small, black, with grey iris, in middle 

 of the third brown belt. 



Ega ; rare. Allied to 3f. anfcerice, Hewits. 



EURYGONA COCCINELLA. 



c? . Closely resembles E. Zena, Hewits. (Exot. Butt. Eu. f. 74 & 76), 

 but is much smaller, with the fore wing broadly truncated at the apex, 

 and the hind wing shorter and regularly rounded. In E. Zena, cS, 

 the hind wing is bisinuate near the anal angle. Above deep black. 

 Fore wing with a rounded crimson spot in the middle near the hind 

 margin, the spot not occupying more than about one-third of the 

 surface of the wing. Hind wing with a small rounded crimson spot 

 towards the anal angle. 



Beneath brown, with two white submarginal belts as in E. Zena ; the 

 outer belt of hind wing is strongly curved in the middle, and again 

 forms two lunules near the anal angle ; the marginal space near the 

 anal angle, and a line near the hind angle of fore wing, are yellow. 



5 . Hewitson, Exot. Butt. Eu. f. 75, as E. Zena $ . 



Hab. Upper Amazons, at Tunantins and St. Paulo.
