856 EUDAMUS. By Dr. M. Draudt. 



cludco. E. chalco Hhn. (= agesilaus Swns.) (160 f) is a large, beautiful species, above on the body and bases 



of the wings with a bluish olive-green reflection, forewings marked like carmelita (161 b), hindwings with a 

 broad, white distal area and tail, the former extending only beneath to the costal margin. South America. 



dominicus. E. dominicus Plotz (= albimargo Mah.) (160 f) is smaller, with a much shorter and finer tail and 



a very narrow white marginal area of the hindwing, about the width of the fringes, above not with green, but 

 only with some slate-coloured hair. South America. 



hrachiiis. E. brachius Hbn. (160 f ). Above like the preceding with a short broad tail, but with a very broad 



inner-angular spot, almost extending to the middle of the wing; beneath on the hindwing there appear in the 

 white marginal area 4 or 5 blackish-brown spots before the fringes, increasing in size towards the costa. — 



doryssus. The form doryssus Sivns. (= nivosus Plotz, orion Drc. nee F.) (161 b) is the same, though with a somewhat 

 narrower white area of the hindwing not extending to the middle of the wing, particularly above. — chales 

 G. & S. (160 f) is presumably likewise not a separate species, but like simjilicius from eurycles, it differs by 

 the absence of the white oblique band on the f orewing ; the white distal part is not mucli broader than in doryssus. 

 From Mexico to Brazil. 



loxo. E. loxo Mob. is larger than the preceding, distinguished by the fringes of the forewing being white 



towards the mner-angle, while in the other species they are blackish-brown. The marginal area of the hindwing 

 is particularly beireath very broad white, towards the costa tinged blackish-brown, the black colour being 

 continued before the margin for some distance as far as into the very broad white tail. Santa Catharina. 



albicuspis. E. albicuspls H.-ScJidff. (= leucites Mob.) (168 b) closely approaches brachius and is above to be separated 



by a tooth of the blackish-brown ground-colour on the submedian fold projecting far towards the margin into 

 the very broad white anal part, whereas on the submedian vein a white tooth projects far towards the base. 

 Beneath the white colour is almost as broad as above, only towards the costal margin somewhat narrower, 

 towards the costal angle on the border some few blackish-brown diffuse spots. Colombia, Brazil. 



heropMlus. E. herophilus Plotz (= virescens Mob.) (161 b) is above the most similar to albimargo by the extent 



of the white colour, but towards the base on both wings and on the body strongly haired green. Beneath the 

 hindwing is marked with an indistinct black, postmedian transverse band and a black costal-marginal spot 

 before it. From Surinam to Rio de Janeiro. 



orion. E. orion F. (161 b) is a magnificent spocies, above somewhat like brachius (160 f), but with longer 



tails, and a much broader white discal band of hyahne spots on the forewing. Beneath very much like the 

 following undulatus, except the broad white distal area slightly tinged reddish-brown, on the hindwing. Central 

 America. 



undulatus. E. undulatus (= nicasius Plotz) (160 a, b). Above brown with an oblique band of hyaline spots on 



the forewing, being slightly tinged yellowish. Beneath reddish-brown, watered darker, with 2 partly interrupted, 

 irregularly dentate, slate-coloured to blackish-grey transverse bands and black clouding at the base of the 

 hindwing. Mexico to Brazil. 



elongaius. E, elongatus Plotz (160 d) most closely approximates undulatus, differs, however, by but one distal 



transverse band on the hindwing beneath. Brazil. 



evenus. E. evenus 3Ien. (161 c) from the affinity of albimargo. Very much distinguished by the very broad, 



yellowish-white discal band on the forewing aud the almost equally broad, yellowish-white border of the hindwing, 

 into which small spots of the ground-colour project on the ends of the veins. Beneath marked like simplicius- 

 eurycles except the yellowish-white border. Described from Brazil. 



eudoxus. E. eudoxus Cr. (161 c) is like the following species marked by an equally broad, yellowish-white 



antemarginal band on the hmdwing beneath, running about parallel with the border, forming, however, a 

 hook towards the proximal margin at the tail. Above the forewing exhibits a rather broad, white discal band 

 reaching neither the costal margin nor the proximal angle. Body and bases of the wings with green hair. Guiana. 



leucogram- E. leucogramma Mah. differs from eudoxus by different hyaline spots of the forewings, which are 



""'• about arranged as in proteus (160 b) with which the species is at any rate best to be compared above. Beneath 

 the red-bro'\\n hindwings show a slightly curved antemarginal band terminating at the tail and not turning 

 round towards the proximal margin. Porto Cabella. 



cholus. E. cholus Plotz (= glaphyrus Mab., leucodesma Plotz, albistria Plotz) (161 c) is above and beneath 



quite similar, but the tail is much shorter, and on the hindwing beneath the white band is much narrower, 

 not sharply defmed as in the preceding. Brazil. 



ganna. E. ganna Mschlr. (161 c) is a much smaller species with a considerably finer, neater tail, otherwise 



very closely allied to cholus; the white band of the hindwing is on both sides sharply defined and particularly 

 towards the margin of a darker tinge. Venezuela.
