Length of forowiiig : S 28 ram. ; ? 38 mm. 



Breadth of I'oiewiiig : cJ l-J mm. ; ? 20 mm. 



One c? and two ? ? from Santo Domingo, Uarabaya, Soath-East Peru, about 

 6000 ft., May and December 1902, January 100;J (G. (i. Oe.kenden). A smaller S 

 (length of forewing 2^ mm.) from the Rio Huacamayo, Carabaya, 3100 ft., June 

 1904 (G. R. Ockenden). 



II. Hyperchiria aniris sp. imv. 



c?. Similar to//. naKsica Cram. (1770); lines of forewing much less oblique, 

 being about parallel to outer margin, first line reaching costal margin proximally to 

 discocellular spot, second line yellowish, third incurved, its distance from second at 



R' only one-third the distance between second and first. Ocellus of hindwing 



quite black with a minute white dot ; costal margin evenly conve-x, not lobate. 



Three 6S from Potaro, British Guiana, May 1908 (S. M. Klages). 



12. Eacles adoxa sp. nov. 



cJ. Near 7i. emi iieiui Dogn. (IbOl), smaller. Forewing pointed, outer margin 

 slio-htlv and evenly concave, hind angle less rounded than in eminens ; marginal 

 area entirely dark tawny except for a small bar-like spot situated before hind angle, 



the "rev shading in this area more extended than in em>/w/is. Hindwing more 



ovate than in all the other species of Eacles, the distal margin being very strongly 

 convex below centre ; as in eminens a slightly excurved line on outer side of disco- 

 cellular spot ; the whole area from this line to margin, i.e. more than half the surface 

 of the wing, dark tawny, with a broken up yellow patch in its posterior half away 

 from the line, there being also a narrow yellow border to the outside of the line 

 posteriorly ; fringe of both wings spotted with white. 



Undei-Mfle buff-yellow, both wings speckled with blackish brown, except before 

 hind margin ; the greater part of the forewing, especially the onter margin and the 

 area from the centre of the onter margin towards the subapical portion of the costal 

 martrin, much shaded with tawny brown ; the same is the case on the hindwing from 

 costal margin to cell, and particularly in a triangular apical area of which the inner 

 edge extends from the discal line at R' to the tip of M' ; the onter edge and fringe of 

 both wings deeper brown, the latter spotted with white as above ; line very distinct 

 on both wings, not interrupted and not dentate, very broad on hindwing. 



M- of hindwing originates at a greater distance from base than SC-. The 

 hindwing recalls in shape that of certain Lasiocampids, e.g. G. (jiierrifolia. 



Length of forewing : 42 mm. 



One i from Potaro, British Guiana, May 1908 (S. M. Klages).
