ON NEW OE RECENTLY DESCRIBED SPECIES OF DIURNAL 

 LEPIDOPTEBA. 



BY A. G. BUTLER, F.L.S., &C. 



Family NTMPRALIDjE, Westwood. 

 Sub-Family SATYRIN^, Bates. 

 Genus Euptychia, Rilbner. 

 1. Etjptychia Fetna, n. sp., pi. 1, fig. 1. 



Wings above pale brown ; front-winga with two curved ferruginous bands, the 

 inner one crossing the discoidal cell in the centre, the outer one at its external 

 inferior angle j a nebulous ferruginous patch between the median nervules ; an 

 interrupted zigzag sub-marginal brown line and a sub-apical blind black ocellus 

 with yellow iris : hind-wings crossed by a central ferruginous line ; a macular 

 sub-marginal brown stria and a sub-anal black ocellus with small silver pupil and 

 yellow iris. 



Wings below paler, ocelli placed as in C. Enyo, but the three inferior ones 

 of front-wings obliterated ; a sub-marginal brown chain-line ; front-wings with 

 ferruginous bands as above ; a line of the sarnie colour on the inner margin of the 

 sub-costal basal swelling ; hind-wings with two transverse ferruginous bands, the 

 inner one crossing the discoidal cell just before its centre, the outer one just before 

 its termination. Expanse of wings, 1 inch, 5 lines. 



San Geronimo, Plain of Salama (Hague), one example. 



Coll. Salvin. 



This beautiful little butterfly will come next to E. Enyo from 

 Cuenca ; it is a very distinct species of the Mollina group, and is the 

 fifth Euptychia of that group hitherto described. 



2 Euptychia Labe, n. sp., pi. 1, fig. 2. 



Allied to E. Myncea, but differing in its lighter colouring, larger and more 

 distinct ocelli, also above in the broader sub-marginal band of the hind-wings : 

 below the ground colour is brownish-white ; the bands narrower than in E. Myncea, 

 of a deep red colour, the ocelli, though agreeing in their position, differ in their 

 relative size, the black-centred ones being enlarged, the silver-centred ones 

 diminished in size ; the dark nebulous discal band is obsolete, giving place (below 

 the ocelli) to a broad ochreous patch ; the undulated sub-marginal line (simple 

 throughout in E. Myncea) is geminate, forming an irregular chain, and termi- 

 nating at the anal angle in a sub-quadrate ferruginous patch. 



Expanse of wings, 1 inch, 10£ lines. 



Calobre and Santa Fe, Yeragua fArce) ; Polochic Yalley (Hague) 

 $ , $ , three specimens. Coll. Salvin. 



May be placed next to E. Palladia, a species, in some respects, 

 intermediate between it and E. Myncea. 



3. Euptvchia Gulnaee, n. sp., pi. 1, fig. 3. 



J . Allied to E. Harmonia, but differing in its greater size and sinuated hind- 

 wings ; also below in its uniform brown colouring ; the central lines (especially of
