EUPTYCHIA. By G. Weymer. 195 



Mollina Gioiip. 



E. mollina Hhn. (46 e). Above with tlie forew ing whitish grey, at the costal and distal margin darker monina. 

 with 3 l)rownish transverse stripes, before the apex a dark spot. Hindwing white with 2 round dark spots in 

 brown rings. On the under surface the ground-colour is purer white, the transverse stripes consequently more 

 distinct. On the forewing a black eye-spot before the apex, surrounded by a brown ring, 3 indistinct eye-spots 

 below it in cellules 2—4. Hindwing beneath with 6 eye-spots, those in cellules 2 and 5 large, in cellules 1 b 

 and 6 small, all black with white pupils and brown rings, those in cellules 3 and 4 obsolescent. From the 

 Amazon region (Pard, Ega), Nicaragua, Mexico, mollis Stgr. is only a form of iiiolliiin. in which the forewing moUl,. 

 has only one or two ocelli on the under surface and also those of the hindwing are reduced in number and some 

 of them much smaller. From Chiriqui. — hilara Fldr. (46 e). One of the larger forms of ■mollina, above light Mlura. 

 brownish grey with one transverse stripe on the forewing and 2 on the hindwing, which are somewhat darker, 

 with one eye-spot on tJie forewing and 2 on the hindwing. On the under surface the ground-colour is still lighter! 

 somewhat whitish, the transverse stripes as above, in the znedian area of the forewing a reddish yellow washed- 

 out spot and before the apex an eye-spot. On the hindwing 4 small ocelli and 1 large one. Colombia (Bogot;i). 



— westwoodii 5^/r. (46 e), a further form of mulUtut, mostly smaller (26 — 33 mm.) and with the ground-colour wstwooiJli. 

 purer white. Only the costal and distal margins of the forewing are brownish grey. The brownish bands are 



narrow and the eye-spots indistinct. On the under surface the forewing has only 3, the hindwing all the 

 6 ocelli. Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, Colombia, Bolivia. 



— jesia Btlr. (46 e) only differs from weshcoodii in ha,ving the brown transverse stripes on the ujjper surface jcsm. 

 entirely absent or only faintly showing through from beneath, the apex of the forewing only 4 mm. in breadth 

 and the costal and distal margins only quite narrowly' brown. The under surface is as in vcstnoodii. Bolivia, 

 Ecuador. 



E. meta spec. nov. (46 e). Above grey-brown, on each wing a large white area, which on the forewing mciu. 

 is placed nearer to the iiuier, on the hindwing to the costal margin. The first two transverse stripes converge 

 anteriorly on the forewing, posteriorly on the hindwing. On the forewing a dark spot before the apex, on 

 the hindwing three in place of the ocelli, behind them the dark submarginal band. On the under surface there 

 is in addition a fourth band near the base of the wings and on the forewing are placed 2 ocelli near the apex 

 and on the hindwing 3 in cellules 2, 3 and 5, all black with white pupils and surromided by 4 rings, namely ochre- 

 yellow, brown, white and outside again brown. The 2nd eye-spot of the forewing and the middle one of the 

 hindwing are smaller, the others are larger, being 3 mm. in diameter and extending over two cellules, so that 

 their outer rings touch one another. In the $ an additional small eye-spot is present on each wing, which 

 is jDlaced between the others. From Marcapata (Peru). 



E. fetna Btlr. Above pale brown, forewing with 2 curved rust-coloured stripes before and in the middle, fetna. 

 an obscure rust-coloured spot between medians 1 and 2, before the apex a round black spot in an. ochre- 

 yellow ring. Hindwing with rust-coloured median and submarginal stripes and a black eye-spot with white 

 pupil and yellow ring. Beneath lighter, especially in the distal part of the forewing, with a chain of small brown 

 rings before the distal margin of both wings. Forewing with a proximally curved median and a straight rust- 

 coloured basal stripe, which are both continued fairly straight on the hindwing. The latter has 5 eye-spots, 

 of which the 2nd and 5th are black, with yellow iris and brown ring, the others are dull red-brown, all have 

 shining white pupils. On the forewing only one eye-spot as above, with some brownish spots below it. 36 mm. 

 From San Geronimo and Cubilquitz in Guatemala, Amula and Chilpancmgo in Mexico. Rare. 



E. enyo Btlr. Alxive pale brown with 2 brown median stripes and a submargmal one, a marginal line, enyo. 

 a spot before the apex of the forewing and another at the anal angle of the hindwing. The apex of the hindwing 

 is reddish. Beneath ochre-yellow with red-brown bands as m mollina. Forewing with 4. hin.dwing with 6 ocelli. 

 The first on the forewing and the 2nd and 5th on the hindwing are larger than the others. The 6th eye-spot 

 on the hindwing is placed close to the distal margin and the border of cellule Ic near a rtd-brown longitudinal 

 stripe characteristic of this species, which extends inwards along the first median. 35 nun. From Cuenza (Ecua- 

 dor). Rare. 



E. anacleta Btlr. Pale brown, 2 dark baiads through the middle, a blind eye-spot before the apex of the anadeia. 

 forewing and 5 on the hindwing, the 5th being larger than the others. The submarginal line on the hindwing 

 double. Beneath very light grey, almost white, with 2 red-brown bands in the basal half, a third, broader band, 

 which is only red-brown on the hindwing, but ochre-yellow on the forewing, then 2 undulate blackish sub- 

 marginal lines, which at the anal angle of the hindwing terminate in 2 orange-coloured streaks. Forewing with 

 a large subapical eye-spot M'ith blue pupil and red-yellow ring, below it 2 indistinct eye-spots and a large washed- 

 out ochre-yellow spot. Hindwing with 5 ocelli, the 1st, 2nd and 5th black with blue pupils, the 3rd and 4th 

 brown with silvery pupils, all with yellow iris. These ocelli, of which the 4 anterior ones are small but the 5th 

 large, are placed in a straight row. 33 mm. Nicaragua (Chontales), Panama (Chiriqui), Colombia (Bogota). Rare.
