MB. H. W. BATES — CATALOaUE OE EEYCIKIDJE. 385 



Emesis SPKETA. 



c? & $ . 1" 10'". Differs from E. Lucinda, Cram. (Pap. t. 1. f. E, F), in 

 having narrower wings, with the outer margins much less rounded, — 

 and in colour, being dullish slaty brown, with an indistinct rufous- 

 brown patch near the apex of fore wing, in both sexes. The white 

 subapical spots of E. Lucinda 5 are entirely wanting in the $ . 

 The black markings are very similar. 



Hub. Ega, Upper Amazons ; common. 



Emesis hypochloris. 



c? . 1" 9'". Fore-wing CQsta incurved in the middle, apex very slightly 

 produced ; anal angle of hind wing fringed with long silky hairs. 

 Above black, both wings crossed by six belts of a dark glossy slaty 

 blue, the marginal one of hind wing being of a lustrous plumbageous 

 hue ; fringe pure white, spotted with black near apex of fore wing. 



Beneath, dark glossy blue ; brilliant glossy cyaneous towards the outer 

 margins. 



Abdomen bright red beneath. Antennae black above ; beneath brown, 

 obscurely spotted with black. 



Hab. Ega. 



This species has the coloration of many species of Charis ; but 

 the shape of the wings is that of Emesis ; the naked eyes and nn- 

 ringed antennae also remove it from those species of Charis which 

 it most resembles. 



Emesis ^thalia. 



c? . 1" 9". Dark sooty-brown above and beneath. Fore wing incurved 

 in the middle, apex very slightly produced and obtuse, outer margin 

 scarcely rounded. Hind-wing outer margin gently rounded, anal 

 angle slightly advanced. Above crossed by numerous short dusky 

 streaks, Avhich on the outer half of both wings unite to form three 

 slender undulating belts — one near the cell, and the other two sub- 

 marginal. 



Beneath a little paler than above, dusky streaks much more slender, 

 submarginal belt converted into a row of small spots. 



Head, body, and legs sooty-brown. 



Hab. Santa Martha, New Granada. Collected by the late M. Bouchard. 



Cricosoma Eraste. 



cJ. 10'". Fore-wing costa straight until near the apex, where it is 

 bowed, apical angle acute ; outer margin of both wings gently rounded. 

 Above rich orange-yellow ; costa and base of wings edged with black; 

 the basal half of both wings is varied by short black streaks, of which 

 there are two rows ; the apical portion is crossed by three continuous 

 black streaks, the last of which is marginal. 



Beneath pale. 



Head and thorax dark brown ; wing-lappets and abdomen orange. 



Hab. Ega.
