the veins, arranged similarly as in the preceding. Hindwings white, veins and margin blackish. Expanse of

rogcrsi. E. rogersi Bruce (25 f) is the nearest to setosum, differing by the broader shape of the wings, some¬ 
what lighter total colouring, the colours being more clearly distributed, not so much dusted over with grey, 
all the spots somewhat rounder, not so long extended. The hindwings are darker. From Mexico, Costa

confine. E. confine Herr.-Schaff. (25 f), among the allied species, has the purest white ground-colour, the 
veins are olive-grey, scarcely bordered with yellowish. Head whitish-grey with a large black spot on the 
vertex and an orange-yellow neck-ring. Collar grey with large, black spots, shoulder-covers whitish-grey, 
Carolina, bordered with black. Widely distributed from Florida and Mexico as far as Brazil. ■—- v. Carolina Hy.-Edw. 
( = confine Holl.) is the northern form from Florida. 
confusum. E. confusum Bothsch. (25 g) extremely resembles confine: the ground-colour is not such a pure white,

and the abdomen is all yellow with black dorsal and lateral spots. From Mexico as far as Guatemala.
