196 EUPTYCHIA. By G. Weymer. 



iiisolala. E. insolata Btlr. (= macrophthalma Stgr.). Smoke-brown, slightly transparent, in the disc lighter, some- 



times white, 2 almost parallel brown median lines and 2 indistinct submarginal lines across both wings. Forewing 

 with an indistinct eye-spot before the apex, hiiidwing with 2 black, white-dotted eye-spots, one at the apex, 

 and a larger one at the inner angle. Beneath whitish with the bands as above, the two in the middle and 

 one at the base red-brown, and with black submarginal line. Forewing with 2 eye-spots, one before the apex, 

 black, white-pupilled with i-ed ring, the other indi.stinct, between the median veins. Hindwing with 3 eye- 

 spots, the two anterior ones margined with red, tlie third very large, with brown border, at the anal angle. 

 From Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama. 



picea. E. picea Btlr. (46 e). Similar to the preceding species, but the wings are not transparent, above brown 



with 4 dark brown bands, a short one at the base, the 2nd ajjproaching the 3rcl at the costal margin of the foi'e- 

 wiiig, the 3rd approaching the 4th at the inner margin of the same wing. A black spot at the apex, the hind- 

 wing with 2 in cellules 2 and 5. In the 9 the wings are more rounded and instead of the spots there are rather 

 large ocelli with ochre-yellow rings and white pupils. Under surface light violet-grey, transverse bands more 

 distinct than above. On the forewing are placed 2 or 3 eye-spots, of which the first is the largest, and the middle 

 one is mostly absent. On the hmdwing are placed usually 3 eye-spots, occasionally 4 or 5. Of these the one in 

 the cell is the largest, being 3 mm. in diameter, but sometimes reaching a diameter of 4 to 41,2 mm. and then 

 naturally extending far into the adjoining cellules. Two ocelli are jjlaced at the apex in cellules 5 and 6, of which 

 the one in cellule 5 is about the same size as the anterior eye-spot of the forewing, the other being smaller. When 

 additional eye-spots are present, they are placed in cellules 3 and 4, but are even smaller. From the Amazons 

 rujocincta. (Ega, Tapajos), and also from Peru and Surinam. — rufocincta jorm. nov. (46 f) is a form of picea, somewhat 

 larger, the markings quite similar, but the two round black-brown spots on the upperside of the hindwing 

 are first surrounded by an ochre-yellow, narrow ring and then by a red-brown, broad one, forming eye-spots 

 of 4 mm. in diameter. On the under surface there are on the forewing 2 ocelli (the first large), on the hindwing 5 

 (the 2nd and 3rd larger), some of which are contiguous. From Surinam. 



Saturnus Group. 



francisca. E. francisca Btlr. Above violet-brown, an indistinct brown spot at the anal angle and 2 brown marginal 



lines. Beneath ochre-yellow, two brown, somewhat proximally curved median lines, a submarginal and 2 mar- 

 ginal lines. On the forewing a small eye-spot with pupil, the hindwing with 5 eye-spots, the 2nd and 5th black, 

 with Avhite pupils, 3 mm. in diameter, the others small, the first likewise black, the 3rd and 4th l)rown. all with 

 ochre-yellow iris and brown ring. Ecuador. 



.mlurnus. E. satumus Btlr. (= laccine Fldr.) (46 f). Above olive-brown, with a lighter nebulous band through 



the middle of both wings and a black, white-pupilled and brownish-yellow-bordered eye-spot at the anal angle 

 of the hindwing. Beneath light grey with 2 straight, brown transverse Imes and a white band, increasing in 

 breadth i^osteriorly, through the middle of both wings. Forewing with a black ocellus, the hindwing with 5 

 ocelli, of which the 3rd and 4th are brown, the others black, all witli yellow iris and brown ring, the first 4 on the 

 hindwing with double white pupil, the others with single. At the margin 3 brown lines. Venezuela, Colombia 

 (Rio Agnatal 1800 m., in November), Bolivia (Corvico), Brazil. 



vc.^ia. E. vesta Btlr. (= griphe Fldr.) (46 f). Above olive-brown, at the distal margin 3 darker lines, wliich 



are confluent on the forewing. On this wing is placed in the ^ m the middle of cellules 1 b, 2 and 3 between 

 the submedian and the 3 median veins a narrow streak of dark brown, raised scales, which is sharply angled 

 distad on the veins. At the anal angle of the hindwing in cellule 2 a black eye-spot with white double pupil 

 and red-yellow ring. Sometimes in addition a small eye-spot beside it in cellule Ic. In the $ the raised scales 

 on the forewing are absent, on the other hand tliere are on the hindwing in cellules 3 — 5 two or three further 

 similar eye-spots, wliich, however, are smaller, sometimes faint or without pupils. The under surface is brownish 

 yellow with a narrow light yellow band across the forewing and a broad white band across the hindwmg, 

 irregularly defined on both surfaces, but in the middle much widened by a broad, basally directed projection. 

 In the marginal area are placed on the forewing one, on the hindwing in the (^ 5, in the $ 6 eye-spots, of 

 which the 3rd and 4th on the hindwing are brownish grey, the others black, but all ringed with ochre-yellow 

 and brown and bi-pupilled with white. Venezuela, Colombia (Cauca Valley, Rio Agnatal. 1800 m, [November], 

 Rio Tocha at the Quindiu Pass, 2100 m. [September]). 



fi<l<^- E. fida spec. nov. (46 f). Similar to vesta Btlr., but distinguishable at once by the absence of the raised 



scale-streak on the forewing in the {J. The eye-spot on the upperside of the hindwing is also absent and the 

 light band on the under surface is differently formed. At the costal margin of the hindwing it is only half as broad 

 as in vesta, it does not project basad in the cell but forms small proximal projections in cellules 2 and 5. The 

 (J has beneath 6 eye-spots, the 2 middle ones brown-grey, the others black, mostly with single white pupils. 

 On the forewing there are two indistinct smaller ocelli below the subapical one. From the Songo and Corvico 

 in Bolivia.
