the 2ncl forms an obtuse angle on the hindwing. In the marginal area of the hindwing 6 small eye-spots, only 

 the last but one somewhat larger. Rare in Guatemala (Choctum), not rare in West and Central Mexico. 



13. Genus: CyUopsis Fldr. 



^Likewise near Taygetis, the eyes naked. The palpus much more slender, its 2nd joint more than 

 twice as long as the head, the termmal joint pointed. The distal margin of the forewing with rounded 

 projection below the apes, that of the hmdwing almost right-angled at vein 3 and obtusely angled at the 

 anal angle. For the rest the distal margin of the hindwing is slightlj^ undulate. The ujiper discooellular vein 

 of the forewing is entirely absent. The genus has a similar range of distribution to the preceding, and like- 

 wise contams onty one species, referred by many authors to Euptychia.

 above brown with a ?:uall black spot at the margin of the hindwing above the projecting angle. Beneath light- 

 er, finely striated with brown all over, with 2 darker median stripes on both wings and a submarginal 

 line on the foreM-ing. A black ej^e-spot with double silvery pupil and surrounded by a light brown and a 

 dark brown ring is placed in cellule 3 on the hindwing close to the distal margin. Beside it at the distal 

 margin several silvery double dots. The $ is somewhat larger and bears on the upperside of both wings a 

 rust-red line behuid the middle, according to the figure in Godman also a second similarly coloured line before 

 the middle. Rare. From Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica. Elevations of 2000 — 7000 ft. 



14. Geiuis : Oresjtiiiiuiua Westw. 



Distinguished from all the other American Satyrid genera by not having the costal vein of the fore- 

 wing inflated, wMle on the other hand the median and submedian are strongly swollen at the base. The first 

 median vein arises just behind the swelling of the median stem. The eyes are naked. The shape of the 

 wuigs is longer than broad. The area of distribution is the west of tropical South America. 



0. typhla Dbl. db Hew. (50 a). A species easy to recognize by the broad white band above and beneath, typhla. 

 The basal area is above unicolorous and beneath marbled with brown and white. The dark brown distal mar- 

 gin is beneath divided for its entire length by a tri-coloured stripe, strongly dentate on the hinchving. This 

 stripe is distally orange, proximally white, the two colours separated by a black line. Rather common in Co- 

 lombia, Venezuela, Ecuador and Peru; rare in Costa Rica. — sorata Godm. dh Salv. is a form of typhla in which sorata. 

 the white band on both wings is narrower. In the distal margin are placed on the hindwing above white cres- 

 cents, on the forewing a whitish line, which markings are also often indicated in typhla. From Bolivia 

 (Callcan). 



15. Genus: Paramecera Btlr. 



Costal and median of the forewing inflated at the base, costal margin convex, distal margin slightly 

 excised, upper discooellular short, middle discooellular longer and obliquely placed, behind the median in 

 the ■^^ a patch of dense, compact scales. Hindwing with the costa convex, distal margin sinuate, inner mar- 

 gin excised at the anal angle. Eyes somewhat hairy, palpus strongly haired, the terminal joint slenderer and 

 directed more anteriorly than in Euptychia. Antenna short, the club pear-shaped, hollowed out on the under- 

 side. The single species is Mexican and resembles the European Pararge megera. 



P. xicaque Reak. (= Neonympha epiniphele Fldr.) (50 a). Reddish brown, distal margin and the xicaque. 

 spot behind the median darker. Forewing with 2 or 3 round black spots, hindwing with 5, the distal mar- 

 gin of the hindwing is reddish at the anal angle and has 2 dark brown, parallel marginal lines. Beneath the 

 ground-colour is more yellowish with 2 strongly dentate median, a submarginal and 2 marginal lines. On the 

 forewing 2 or 3 eye-spots, the first large, the last small, and 6 eye-spots on the hindwing, all of fairly uni- 

 form size. The 2 is somewhat larger, otherwise similar to the (J, except that the brown spot behind the 

 median on the upperside is absent. The species was formerly very rare, but has recently been found more 

 commonly. It inhabits the higher mountain regions of Mexico (Oaxaca, Jalapa, Puebla, Misantla, Bolannos, 

 Maltrata, Guerrero, Vera Cf'iiz, etc.). The figure is from Felder's type in the Tring Museum. 



16. Genus: Satyro<les Scudd. 



Only the co.stal of the forewing is somewhat thickened or slightly swollen, the first 2 subcostal veins 

 ari.se before the end of the cell, the upper discooellular is wanting. The margin of both wings is I'ounded. The 

 eyes are slightly hairy, the palpus slender, beneath hairy, the 3rd joint short and pointed. One North American 

 species. 



' ' S. canthus L. (= euridice Joh., cantheus Godt., boisduvalii Ha.rr.) (50 a). The round brown spots canthm. 

 of the upper surface are replaced beneath on both wings by a row of black, white-pupilled eye-spots ringed
