DESCRIPTIONS OF NEW SPECIES OF ERYCINID^, FROM CHONTALES, 



NICARAGUA. 



BY W. C. HEWITSON, T.L.S. 



Eubygona Labiena, n. S. 



Upper-side (male) : orange. Anterior wing with the costal and 

 outer margins and apex broadly dark brown. Posterior wing with the 

 costal margin, which is broad, and the outer margin, which is narrow, 

 dark brown ; the inner margin paler brown. 



Under-side : orange-yellow. Posterior wing with a sub-marginal 

 series of minute black spots. 



Exp. 1^5 inch. 



Form of E. Mys, but larger. 



ElTKYGONA ElMIEA, 71. S. 



Upper-side (male) : orange. Anterior wing with the costal mar- 

 gin from the middle, the apex (which is acute) and the outer margin, 

 dark brown, with its inner border sinuated at the middle. Posterior 

 wing long, the apex dark brown ; the outer margin darker than the 

 rest of the wing. 



Under-side : white. Both wings crossed beyond the middle by a 

 rufous band, with the outer margin broadly pale grey-brown, marked 

 by a series of minute black spots bordered with white. 



Exp. la 9 o inch. 



Size and form nearly of E. Dorina. 



Stmmachia Leena, n. s. 



Upper-side : rufous-brown. Anterior wing with many indistinct 

 red spots below the median nervure ; a minute spot on the middle of 

 the costal margin, a second spot a little beyond this, and a third near 

 the outer margin, before the middle. Posterior wing brick-red, with 

 the base, the costal and inner margins, which are broad, the outer mar- 

 gin, which is narrow, and five or six spots between the median nervures, 

 all dark brown ; some red spots near the base. 



Under-side : dark brown. Anterior wing as above. Posterior 

 wing with some grey spots between the median nervules and near the 

 inner margin. 



Exp. \% inch. 



I have, I hope, described the spots on both sides correctly ; so 

 many of the scales have been removed by mites that it is not easy to 

 determine the original spots.
