The genitalia of E. azteca from different localities suggest that 
two species and possibly three may be included in this taxon. In 
specimens from Mexico (Fig. 247), Costa Rica (Fig. 250), and 
Panama (Figs. 253-256), L2d is irregular in outline and lies above 
the prepuce; the prepuce is irregular in outline and some portions 
tend to blend into the surrounding membrane. The L2d in specimens 
from Trinidad (Fig. 269), Surinam (Figs. 260, 263, 265, 267), 
Venezuela (Fig. 272), and Ecuador (Figs. 275, 278), is knoblike 
in shape and appears to be an outgrowth of the prepuce. 
The L2d in two specimens from Costa Rica (Figs. 281, 284) (det. 
as azteca by Princis), and one from Panama (Fig. 287) differs dis- 
tinctly from the azteca just discussed ; the prepuce is more clearly 
defined and its scalelike surface sculpturing also differs from the 
other azteca. This is probably an undescribed species and I am tenta- 
tively calling it Epilampra sp. D. Gurney (personal communication) 
has commented on E. sp. D. and states “. . . they (Nos. 113, 115* 
139) are very much like azteca from Central America (Nos. 140, 
1 41, 143, 144) but differ in face markings. However, No. 13 1 from 
Ecuador is darker in general, has darker and larger face markings, 
and the ventral surface of the abdomen is mostly blackish, unlike 1 1 5 
et al. The type of azteca is a male from Mexico because, though 
Cuba and Mexico were both mentioned originally, Cuba was elim- 
inated as type consideration by comments in the Biologia. We have 
a male from “Mexico” which in face markings is more like the Princis 
det. specimen than like 140, et. al., so perhaps Princis is right. Con- 
sulting the type of azteca should solve the problem.” 
According to Albuquerque and Gurney ( 1962, p. 244), E. colorata 
is related to the “ maculifrons ” Stal group. The genitalia (Figs. 290- 
292) of the Type of colorata are very similar to those of E. azteca 
from Central America (e.g. Figs. 250-252). Gurney (personal com- 
munication) re-examined the Type and stated that colorata is quite 
likely a synonym of azteca. The Type is smaller than many azteca 
but probably within the normal size range. With Gurney’s con- 
currence I consider colorata a synonym of azteca. 
The prepuce of E. crossea (Figs. 293, 296) has no distinctive shape 
and is simply a membrane covered with microtrichia. 
Heusseriana Group 
[E. heusseriana Saussure (Figs. 302-307 )] 
At present, only E. heusseriana belongs to this group. The L2d 
(Figs. 302, 305) of heusseriana is unusually large in relation to the 
prepuce. R2 has a subapical incision (Figs. 303, 306) and Li lacks 
a setal brush (Figs. 304, 307).
