NYMPHALIDA—FEPIPHILE. 
EPIPHILE ERIOPIS. 5, 6. 
Uprrrstpr. Male black. Posterior wing slightly purple. Both wings crossed 
by a broad band of orange which commences near the base of the anterior wing and 
proceeds in a nearly direct line to the middle of the outer margin of the posterior 
wing, where it curves towards the anal angle, and is marked by a small black spot. 
Anterior wing crossed beyond the middle by a band of white from the costal 
margin to near the anal angle, where it is divided into spots. Apex with a small 
yellow spot. 
Unpersipr. Anterior wing as above, but lighter, with a double eye-hke spot 
near the apex, one-half spotted with white, the other with black and white. The apex 
red-brown and orange-yellow, with several minute spots of lilac-white, two of them 
near the middle of the outer margin. Posterior wing varied with orange-yellow and 
red-brown, darker from the base to the middle. The silvery spot on the costal 
margin large. Beyond the middle four eye-like spots in pairs, those nearest 
the anal angle indistinct. A row of white spots near the outer margin. 
Expan. 28 m. Hab. New Granada. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
This species is most nearly allied to Nymphalis Chrysites of Latreille, figured in Humboldt and 
Bonpland “ Obs. de Zoology.” The same broad orange band crosses the wings of both.
