EUPTYCHIA. By G. Weymer. 197 



E. transversa spec. nov. (47 a). Similar to vcstn ami jidn. 'V\w raised scales of the former are likewise transversa. 

 absent here, and there is no eye-spot on the upperside of the hiiidwing. Of the 3 dark brown marginal Imes the 

 inner is indistfiict and more proximally directed. On the under siii'face are placed at the apex of the forewino- 

 2 black ocelli with white jjupils and ochre-yellow rings. The marghial area of the forewing in this species 

 is not lighter. But the chief difference is in the uiiderside of the hindwing. The two dark browji, dentate, narrow 

 transverse stripes are removed further distad ; the first runs bchmd the middle of the cell across the origiji of the 

 first median veui to the middle of the mner margin and forms in its jiosterior part the proximal boundary 

 of the white band. The second brown transverse stripe i-uns over the closing nervrire of the cell, intersecting 

 the white band, afterwards forming its distal boundary and unitmg M'ith the dark brown submarginal line at 

 the imier angle. Hence the anterior part of the wliite band is placed in this species in the much widened mar- 

 ginal area. In this area there are 5 ocelli, coloured like those of the forewing, the two in cellules 2 and 

 5 larger than the rest. From Marcapata (Peru). Rare on the Rio Vitaca (240() m.) in Colombia. 



Nossis Group. 



E. nossis Heir. (= jaresia Btlr.). Above brown, at the anal angle of the hindwing a black eye-spot with mis'iis. 

 red-yellow ring and white double pupil. Beneath lighter brown, forewing with 2 straight median lines, a doubly 

 white-pupilled eye-spot before the apex and 3 brown spots below it, also 3 brown marginal lines. Hind- 

 wing with 2 brown transverse lines in the middle, the first straight, the second basally curved in the middle. 

 Just behind these a white band traversmg the wing, 3 times as broad in the middle as anteriorly and posteriorly, 

 then a row of 4 eye-spots, of which the 2 in cellules 2 and 5 are larger, the others, in cellules 3 and 6 

 smaller, all black with yellow iris and brown ring, only the larger ones have double white pupils. Ecuador (Quito). 

 This species has some resemblance to the above described fida, but is easily distinguished from it by the shajje 

 of the white band on the underside of the hindwing, which at its proximal side is uniformly rounded like a sector, 

 whilst in fida it is strongly dentate and smuous. Butler refers (Journ. Linn. Soc. Zool. 13, p. 117) his jaresia 

 to Eupt. furina Hew. A comparison of the figiires, however, shows at once that the two species are not alike, 

 but that jaresia belongs rather to nossis Heir. 



E. clio Stgr. i. I. (47 a). Forewmg with the distal marghi slightly undulate, hindwing obtusely dentate, dio. 

 Above brown, hindwing with double dark brown marginal and indistinct, broad submarginal line, fringes 

 light grey. Under surface likewise brown. Forewing at ^/i of its length with a narrow, straight, light grey 

 stripe, along the distal margin a broad stripe of similar colour, traversed by 2 dark brown marginal lines. On 

 the hindwmg first a wliite stripe from -/s of the costal margin to the middle of the inner margin. In the 

 margmal area are placed 2 large brownish yellow semicircles, the curve of which is directed towards the band. 

 Inside each a glossy silver curved line, which again encloses a large black spot with brownish yellow bordering. 

 On the dark grey distal margin 3 black undulate lines. From Marcapata, Peru. A rare and beautiful species. 

 Coll. Bang-Haas. 



E. albofasciata Hew. Size of the preceding. Above reddish brown with broad, white median band alho- 

 from the 3rd median in the forewmg nearly to the inner margin of the hindwing. The hindwing has a /"*"'^'"'"- 

 large black eye-spot at the mner angle with orange-yellow ring and white pupil, as well as 2 white lines at the 

 apex. Under surface somewhat lighter than above, the white band reaching to the costal margin of the forewing. 

 The base is grey with a brown band, the distal margin dull white with 3 parallel brown Imes. Forewing 

 with an eye-spot at the apex, hmdwing with 6 eye-spots, of which the two middle ones are oval, brown with a 

 silver streak in the middle, the others black, in part with double pupils, but all with reddish yellow rings. 

 From Ecuador. Rare. 



Pronophila Groiip. 



E. pronophila Btlr. Above olive-brown. Beneath the same, forewing with a broad, somewhat pronophila. 

 lighter discal band, in which are placed 5 small indistinct ocelli. Hindwing with triangular white discal band, 

 beguniing at the apex iia a fine point and terminating at the inner margin close to the anal angle with a 

 breadth of 5 mm. Behind this a light brownish band with 5 small eye-spots, of which the 1st, 3rd and 4th 

 are white and surrounded by brown and broad light ochre-yellow rings, the other 2 black, finely pupilled 

 with white and margined with darker yellow. The basal area is finely striated with brown and bears 2 brown 

 transverse lines. From Rio de Janeiro. Coll. Hbwitson in the Brit. Museum. Rare. 



E, ordinata spec. nov. (47 a). Above olive-brown, at the distal margin somewhat darker with lighter ordinata. 

 fringes. Beneath lighter brown. Forewing with indistinct line behind the middle, 2 brown lines before tlie 

 margin aiid black-brown marginal line. Hindwing with broad wliite band, wliicli runs from the middle of the 

 inner margin across the discocellular to vein 6 near the apex and is not sharply defined on either side. Belund 

 it is placed an orange-yellow band, which only extends from vein 1 b into cellule 4. On this are placed 3 

 small, round black spots, which are marked on their proximal side with a small, silvery crescent. A black 

 dot is placed in cellule 4 at the end of the orange-yellow band. From Bolivia (coll. Seitz). Similar to the prece- 

 duig species, but easy to distinguish from it by the orange-yellow band, which is wanting in pronophila, as 

 well as by the position of the white band, wliich in pronophila is placed more distally.
