COSTA RICAN BUTTERFLIES. 357 



2 . Wings black, the markings white. Fore wings : an oblique 

 fascia from middle of costa consisting of coalescing spots ; three 

 oblique spots from costa before apex ; the outer half of inner 

 margin with a white streak. Hind wings : a large white sj)ace 

 occupying the greater portion of the wing, outangled on vein 5, 

 its hind edge straight ; the base of cell and a streak below it 

 black. Fore wings below : a white space on basal half from 

 within cell to inner margin ; costa basally lilacine ; the medial 

 fascia as above but with a yellow streak on costa ; apex lilacine 

 white, shaded with yellow on costa ; termen finely yellow, pre- 

 ceded by light brown and greyish white shading. Hind wings 

 below white : the base, outer half from inner margin to vein 4, 

 and terminally between 4 and 5 lilacine white irrorated with 

 brown ; the shade in cell extending somewhat, and upbent to 

 costa ; subterminal brown irrorations from costa to vein 6 ; inner 

 margin narrowly bright yellow, termen finely similar preceded by 

 a narrow interrupted brown shade. 



Expanse, d 60 mm., $ 67 mm. 



The male can be distinguished from A. cinerascens Sal v. by the 

 narrow grey fascia on hind wings above. The female difTers in 

 the broader black margin, the lilacine shading, and brown irrora- 

 tions on hind wings. A cinerascens female has the hind wings 

 below bluish white with faint ti'aces of darker shadings. If the 

 two forms occurred in different localities I should not separate 

 them specifically, but they fly together and no intergrades were 

 found.

5 . Like E. lua Hew., but the inner edge of black margin on 

 hind wings near apex is straight, not dentate ; underneath the 

 spots are larger and more confluent. The wings are also broader.

 veins 4 and 6. Hind wings with only the costal margin, a post- 

 medial macular shade, and terminal spots fuscous brown, other- 

 wise ovei-laid with yellow-brown hairy scales. Fore wings below
