Tapajos. d, B.M. Mr. Hewitson, at the end of his description of this species, suggests the possibility of E. itonis and E. furina being merely sexually distinct. I cannot agree with him in this particular, as w e have female insects very m u c h more nearly allied to furina, such as E. gemmula; but even these are so unlike furina and its male allies that I should not dare to place them together without some proof of their identity. Swainson says of his Satyrus argenteus, an insect allied to itonis, " the two sexes are perfectly similar." 107. EUPTYCHIA JUNONIA, sp. n. d .
