122 Mr. E. Doiibleday on some Lepidoptera, 
ternally, marked near the eostse with a black spot, on each side 
of which is a yellow dot, the outer one followed by two larger 
ones of the same colour placed on each side of the discoidal ner- 
vule ; the margin with a series of seven triangular spots bordered 
with black, the four nearest the apex yellow, the others cinereous. 
Nervures, nervules and cilia fuscous. 
Posterior wings silvery white, the base with a black patch, 
bounded anteriorly by the costal nervules, marked with eight 
yellow spots, and a single crimson one on the inner margin ; cell 
with a slender black line along the median fold, throwing oflP a 
slender branch internally near the end of the cell, this line 
bounding externally a bright yellow vitta. Beyond the cell is a 
series of yellow cuneiform spots bounded internally with black, 
and there is a similar series on the outer margin ; the space be- 
tween the first median nervule and the submedian nervure is 
marked with a yellow vitta. Nervures, nervules and cilia black. 
Head, thorax, abdomen and legs fuscous, more or less clothed 
wdth gray hairs ; the abdomen paler below. Antennae black. 
This species and the last-described are very nearly allied, and 
may possibly prove to be varieties of one species. The whole of 
this group, of which Euterpe Semiramis may be regarded as the 
type, are very difficult to determine. 
Genus Leptalis. 
L. Eumara. Lept. alis anticis supra nigris fascia media, alteraque 
pone medium macularibus flavis ; vitta baseos pallide testacea, 
posticis, supra, testaceis, margine, nervulis, lineisque inter nervulos 
nigris. Exp. alar. 2 unc. 4 lin. vel 60 millim. 
Hah. America Meridionali. 
Above : anterior wings fuscous black, with a testaceous vitta 
at the base upon the median nervure, extending along a space 
about equal in length to one-half the inner margin of the wing; 
a macular band composed of a large spot, slightly divided by 
the nervules, and of a much smaller one, extends from the middle 
of the costa nearly to the anal angle, close to which on the inner 
margin is a small yellow streak : near the apex is a transverse 
band of four yellow spots. Posterior wings reddish, with the 
outer margin broadly fuscous ; the median nervure and nervules, 
a series of dashes between the nervules, also fuscous. 
Below : nearly as above, but all the colours paler ; the dark 
border to the posterior wings less distinct. 
Head black, antennae black ; palpi yellow internally, black ex- 
ternally. 
Thorax black above. 
Abdomen fuscous above, gray below.
