Mi and R s as if attracted by the metal of the praeterminal 
serration; on Cu 2 its projection practically unites with the 
swerve of the subterminal line, thus forming a kind of roof over 
the W of the silver line, the bar being transformed here into a 
fulvous red triangular blot. The palish cinereous patch with a 
fulvous red diffusion of the aureoles, is in contact with the 
second discal because of the latter’s development terminally, 
not because of its own basally as it is in dorothea ; it is weakly 
dusted rather than striated with dark scales and produces a 
smoother, slightly opalescent effect due perhaps to the prox- 
imity of the florid second discal line.

It remains to tackle the fourth species. In 1876 W. H. Ed- 
wards, working, it may be assumed, in a bad light (note the 
“plumbaginous”), thus described a new “Euptychia”: 
“Euptychia henshawi, n. sp. male. Exp. 1.5 inch. Upperside 
light fuscous, immaculate. Underside of primaries russet, 
deepest along inner margin, brownish towards costa; crossed 
by four wavy ferruginous lines, one of which is parallel to the 
hind margin, midway between cell and margin, one just beyond 
cell and curving around it to costa, the third crosses middle of 
cell and the fourth is a demi-line ending at median nervure; 
there are also four transverse streaks near base of wing. Sec- 
ondaries grey-brown, slightly russet tinted, crossed by Jtwo 
ferruginous lines, the outer one irregular, wavy towards mar- 
gin, shaded on its inner side; the outer, near base, rather 
zigzag than wavy; some fine streaks on basal area; the hind 
margin ashy brown streaked with dark ferruginous; showing 
four black eyelets, small, equal, placed near the edge of the 
wing, in pairs on the upper median and next upper interspaces, 
each with a plumbaginous streak across the marginal side and 
through the middle, but not reaching quite across; irregular 
streaks or slight patches of dull silver in the interspaces both 
towards outer and inner angle; the margin next inner angle 
edged with ferruginous. Body above fuscous, beneath gray,
