EUDAMUS Doryssus.

Posterior wings, with short snowy tails, and a half border of white on both sides; beneath brown, with a few paler dots near the base.

The sexes of this species materially differ. Our figure represents the female: in the male, the wings are browner, and highly glossed at their base with green; the snowy border on the posterior wings is very narrow above, but much broader beneath. It appears very locally distributed; we found it common in the vicinity of Bahia.
