Alar anticar suprafuscar violascentes: posticar cyanear, area costali fusca violascente: corpus fuscum, antennis fluvo-ferrugineis. Alar subtus pallida: nitentes viridescentes, fasciis duabus mediis obliquis, externa posticarum medio angulata, unaque submarginali irregulari ad apicem coarctata, conjuncta : anticar fascia submarginali indistincta fusca, altera marginem approximante unaque marginali fuscis; ocello subapicali nigro, ochreo cincto alboque pupillato : posticar margine anali fusco, linea media marginali albida • ocellis quinque, primo, secundo et quinto nigris fulvo cinctis alboque pupillatis, aliis elongatis argenteis flavo cinctis, quinto maximo, primo minimo : corpus albidum. Exp. alar. unc. 1-|. 2 . Alar supra violacear subpellucidar, marginibus rufo-fuscis, lineis marginalibus velut in mari: subtus ocellis per alas conspicuis. Alar subtus fasciis posticarum mediis^ approximantibvs: aliter velut in mari. Exp. alar. unc. 1-|. Hab. Para (Coll. Bates and B.M.). This species is closely allied to E. chloris, Cramer. The male differs in having the outer margin of the front wings less sinuated, being of a duller and darker colour, with the hind wings longer and more broadly suffused with blue ; on the underside the ocelli are larger and nearer to the outer margin, the second one being placed very near the margin, as in E. herse, Cramer; and the central bands are orange. The female is of a brighter colour above, with the marginal lines less distinct; below the differences are the same as in the male. 98. EUPTYCHIA TOLUMNIA. Papilio tolumnia, Cramer, Pap. Exot. ii. pi. 130. f. F, G (d ) (1779) ; Fabricius, Gen. Ins. ii. p. 85. n. 374 (1776); Ent. Syst. iii. pt. 1. p. 107. n. 330 (1793). Euptychia tolumnia, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 54. n. 513 (1816); Westw. & Hewits. Gen. Diurn. Lepid. p. 373. n. 19(1851). Satyrus tolumnia, Godart, Enc. Me'th. ix. pp. 464 & 491. n. 48 (1819). Hab. Guiana; Bahia (Westwood; Coll. Hewitson). The specimen referred to in the 'Genera' as in the British Museum is probably the female of chloris, which, however, is not the insect intended by Cramer; his figure more nearly resembles E. agatha, but is quite distinct from it. 99. EUPTYCHIA AYAYA, sp. n. (PI. XL. fig. 11.) Alar supra carrulescentes, apud marginem violascentes • margine ipso nigro, linea marginali alteraque submarginali indistinctis fuscis posticar macula magna ad cellar finem nigra: corpus olivaceo-fuscum ; antennis flavo-fuscis, subtus flavis.
