is placed further from the margin), and in the principal band of the wings beneath 
being straighter. In Guatemalan specimens the anal ocellus is the only one that is 
enlarged, but in the example from Nicaragua in the British Museum, which Mr. Butler 
first described as a variety of EL. similis?, and afterwards as a distinct species‘, the 
second spot from the costa is also enlarged. We do not feel confident that the Nica- 
raguan insect is really distinct, a larger series being requisite to establish its validity. 
E. similis has a rather restricted range in Guatemala, being found in the central 
districts at an elevation of about 3000 feet above the sea. 
We have figured the type specimen.

There seems to be no certain local variation in specimens from the wide area indicated 
above. The ocelli of the under surface of the secondaries are perhaps rather smaller, as 
a rule, in Central-American examples; but the difference is not material. The specimen 
described by Messrs. Butler and Druce from Costa Rica as KH. disaffecta® proves to be 
an example of E. renata with rather small ocelli; but we have a specimen from that 
country where the ocelli are obsolete, and this was selected from others of more 
normal type. 
One of the chief characteristics of this species is the mottled appearance of the under 
surface of the wings. This is well rendered in Cramer’s figure; so that the applicability 
of his name is hardly doubtful. 
We have figured a female specimen from the Chisoy valley.
