198 EUPTYGHIA. By G. Weymer. 



ashna. E. ashna Heio. (47 a). Above brown with small, obscure, darker spot at the anal angle. Beneath some- 



what lighter. Forewing with 2 brown transverse lines and 3 marginal ones. Hindwing with a brown transverse 

 line at the base, a straiglit white band from 7* of the costal to ^/a of the inner margin and 3 black, white- 

 pupilled eye-spots in cellules 2, 5 and 6, the first with double jiupil and all margined with red-yellow. 

 Between these eye-spots are placed in cellules 3 and 4 red-yellow rings with small, indistinct silvery centres. 



hutlcri. The 9 is marked hke the (J, but somewhat larger. From Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. — butleri Weym. 

 (= ashna Btlr.) is a form of ashna, in which the ground-colour of the wuags is above yellowish brown 

 and beneath yellowish grey and the red-yellow rings in cellules 3 and 4 on the underside of the hindwing 

 are as dark and enclose as large ocelli as those of the other cellules, forming a row of eye-spots of fairly 

 uniform colouring. Ecuador. The name butleri Dist. is a synonym of nietaleuca Bdv., hence butleri Weym. 



anibra. can be retained for this ashna form. — ambra form. nov. (47 a) approaches ashna Hew. Hindwing somewhat 

 more strongly dentate. Above brown with 3 darker marginal lines. Beneath somewhat lighter, especially in 

 the marginal area and at the inner margin of the forewing. Hindwing with white band, almost as in 

 ashna. The margiiaal area behind this band is almost entirely red-yellow, and separated from the band 

 by a brown line. In it is placed in cellule 2 a round black spot with double j^upil, another in cellule 5, but 

 surrounded with red-yellow and brown ring and a similar but quite small eye-.spot in cellule 6. At the distal 

 margin in addition to the 3 parallel margmal lines a 4th brown submarginal line as distal boundary to the 

 red-yellow marginal area. Between the two inner lines a row of whitish ($) or light grey (^) spots. Bolivia, 

 Peru (Cuzco), 2--3000 m. 



Liturata Group. 



liturata. E. liturata Btlr. Above pale olive-brown, at the margin darker, fringes reddish grey. Beneath darker, 



covered with numerous short dark brown streaks, at the costa mixed with whitish. Forewing before the apex 

 with a small black, white-pupilled eye-spot, ringed with ochre-yellow, and with 2 similar, extremely small 

 ones below it. Hindwing on the somewhat lighter brown discal band with 5 equally small eye-spots, of which 

 only the 2nd and 5th are somewhat more distinct. Marginal line black. Locality unknown. Coll. Hewitson 

 in the Brit. Museum. 



luttela. E. luttela Weeks. Above bronze-brown, somewhat glossy, beneath the same colour, without gloss. 



Forewing between the dark brown marginal line and the distal margin at the apex dusted with yellow, an in- 

 distinct brown submarginal line, inner margin grey. On the hindwing the interspace between tiie 2 dark brown 

 marginal lines is reddish-yellow. A small reddish yellow spot at the anal angle, containing a black central dot. 

 29 mm. Alezuni in Bolivia. Flies in August. Resembles liturata Btlr., but the eye-spot at the apex of the fore- 

 wing is absent. 



vesper. E. vesper Btlr. Allied to liturata. Above olive-brown. The eye-spots of the under surface are faintly 



visible above. Under surface copper-coloured, marbled with brown. Marginal line black. Forewing with dark 

 brown disc?J and submarginal lines, below the apex a single black eye-spot with yellow ring and white pupil. 

 Hindwing with 5 similar ocelli. The 2nd and 5th larger. A brown irregular discal line and the angled submar- 

 ginal line miite before the inner angle. The club of the brown antenna is rust-coloured. Locality unknown. 

 35 mm. Coll. Hewitson in the Brit. Museum. 



armiUn. E. armilla Btlr. (47 a). Above olive-brown, according to Butler with a veiy indistinct eye-spot on 



the hindwing at the anal angle, which is wanting in the example figured. Marginal line black. Under surface 

 brown with dark brown discal, submarginal and double marginal lines on both wings. The grovnid-colour is 

 somewhat lighter outside the submarginal line before the apex of the forewing and at the margin of the hind- 

 wing. A black, white-pupilled eye-spot with ochre-yellow ring before the apex of the forewing and 6 similar 

 eye-spots on the hindwing, which vary but little in size. From the Brazilian provinces of Minas Geraes and 

 Matto Grosso (Cuyaba). According to Herr Bang-Haas armilla and the following strigillata are seasonal forms 

 of one species. Further observations in respect to this are needed, however, as the forms are very different. 

 strigillata. — strigillata form. nov. (47 a). Above olive-brown, the central area of the forewing from the subcostal to the 

 median covered with thicker, velvety, raised scales, hence standing out more darkly. Fringes grey. Under 

 surface : forewing olive-brown, finely striated with brown all over, the apex brownish grey, also the distal margin, 

 but more narrowl}^ likewise striated with brown. 2 marginal lines and a submarginal dark brown. Somewhat 

 further back a 4th brown line, which does not reach the inner margin. Between the last-named lines 2 white 

 dots and above them an ochre-yellow eye-spot with white pupil and brown ring. Hindwing grey, marbled 

 with brown, basally darker, at the distal margin lighter with 5 small red-yellow eye-spots, wliich are white- 

 pupilled and brown-margined. From Cuyaba in the province of Matto Grosso in Brazil. 



ariiis. E. arius spec. 710V. (47 a). Similar to armilla. Above brown with 2 darker marginal lines and a strongly 



dentate submarginal line on both wings. Hindwing with a small round black spot in a somewhat lighter 

 ring at the anal angle. Under surface brown, on both wings dusted with grey at the distal margin. 2 

 almost straight transverse lines before and behind the middle on both wings, a dentate submarginal line and 2
