ternally, marked near the costse with a black spot, ou each side 

 of which is a yellow dot, the outer one followed by two larger 

 ones of the same colour placed on each side of the discoidal ner- 

 vule ; the margin with a series of seven triangular spots bordered 

 with black, the four nearest the apex yellow, the others cinereous. 

 Nervures, nervules and cilia fuscous. 



Posterior wings silvery white, the base with a black patch, 

 bounded anteriorly by the costal nervules, marked with eight 

 yellow spots, and a single crimson one on the inner margin ; cell 

 with a slender black line along the median fold, throwing off a 

 slender branch internally near the end of the cell, this line 

 bounding externally a bright yellow vitta. Beyond the cell is a 

 series of yellow cuneiform spots bounded internally with black, 

 and there is a similar series on the outer margin ; the space be- 

 tween the first median nervule and the submedian nervure is 

 marked with a yellow vitta. Nervures, nervules and cilia black. 



Head, thorax, abdomen and legs fuscous, more or less clothed 

 with gray hairs ; the abdomen paler below. Antennse black. 



This species and the last-described are very nearly allied, and 

 may possibly prove to be varieties of one species. The whole of 

 this group, of which Euterpe Semiramis maybe regarded as the 

 type, are very difficult to determine. 



Genus Leptalis. 

 L. Eumara. Lept. alis anticis supra liigris fascia media, alteraque 



pone medium macularibus flavis ; vitta baseos palllde testacea, 



posticis, supra, testaceis, margine, nervulis, lineisque inter nervules 



nigris. Exp. alar. 2 unc. 4 lin. vel 60 millim. 

 Hab. America Meridionali. 



Above : anterior wings fuscous black, with a testaceous vitta 

 at the base upon the median nervure, extending along a space 

 about equal in length to one-half the inner margin of the wing ; 

 a macular band composed of a large spot, slightly divided by 

 the nervules, and of a much smaller one, extends from the middle 

 of the costa nearly to the anal angle, close to which on the inner 

 margin is a small yellow streak : near the apex is a transverse 

 band of four yellow spots. Posterior wings reddish, with the 

 outer margin broadly fuscous ; the median nervure and nervules, 

 a series of dashes between the nervules, also fuscous. 



Below : nearly as above, but all the colours paler ; the dark 

 border to the posterior wings less distinct. 



Head black, antennae black ; palpi yellow internally, black ex- 

 ternally. 



Thorax black above. 



Abdomen fuscous above, gray below.
