E. maepius (kdt. (47 d). Above brown with 2 marginal lines and a dentate submarginal at some distance mnrpiuii. 

 from them. On the hindwing with a whitisii line between the marginal lines. Forewing with 'l dark brown 

 dots in cellules 2 and 5, hindwing with 3 ocelli, a large one in cellule 2 and two small in cellules 3 and 5, 

 all black with yellow ring, the posterior 2 with white pupils. Under surface lighter with 2 tlarker lines through 

 the middle. Forewing witii 4 small eye-spots, hindwing with 5 ocelli, of which the posterior 4 are larger, some 

 black and some brown, all with double silvery ])U])ils and yellow rings. Fi'om (Juiana ami Brazil. 



E. erigone Btlr. (47 d). Above olive-brown with dark line behind the middle and 3 marginal lints. Fore- firhjonc. 

 wing witlunit eye-.s^jots, hindwing with 5 black, yellow-ringed ocelli, of which the 4th is large and bluc-pupilled, 

 the 5th small with silvery pupil, the 2nd indistinct. Under surface lighter with 2 brown median lines, angled 

 at the inner margin of the hindwing, and 3 marginal lines (the proximal one undulate), apex of the fore- 

 wing brownish yellow with a brown band and 3 eye-s]K)ts in yellow rings (the lowest larger and with 2 blue 

 pupils). From Sao Paulo in Brazil, Peru. — probata foriii. imv. (47 d). Similar to erigone. but above with only i>ri,i,aiii. 

 a black dot at the anal angle of the hindwing in place of the ocelli. The under surface agrees entirely with eri- 

 gone. From the Mapiri. — proba form. nov. (47 d). Likewise similar to erigone. On the upper surface there is pmha. 

 only one black eye-spot, with red-yellow ring and doidile silvery white pupil, placed at the anal angle of the 

 hindwing. On the under surface the forewing has (^nly one eye-spot and instead of the 2 lower ocelli of erigone 

 there are 3 small silver dots. The silvery pupils in the eye-sj)ots in cellules 3 and 4 on the hindwing are prolonged 

 into silvery streaks. The distal of the tw(j dark l)rown median stripes is somewhat broader than in erigone. Peru. 



E. argyrospila Btlr. Above brown with 3 marginal lines, of which the jiroximal is undulate. Forewing '"•!/.'/'■"•■'•;"''«• 

 with small black dot at the inner angle, hindwing with 3 Ijlack ocelli in ochre-yellow rings, the middle one large 

 and with violet pupil. Beneath yellowish brown with 2 darker median lines, of which the distal forms a tooth 

 in the middle of the hindwing, with 3 marginal lines. Forewing with 4, hindwing with 5 yellow-ringed eye- 

 spots, some black with silvery double pupils, the others brown with violet single pupils. 38 mm. From Ega 

 (Amazons). — nausiaca Moschl. Similar to nrgyrospiht, but the forewing above with 2, the hindwing with ndn.sUira. 

 5 — 6 eye-spots, all ringed with red-yellow, but mostly blind, only those in eellides 2 and 3 having silvery 

 pujjils. Beneath like argyrospila in the number of th? ocelli, but both the median bauds are basally curved 

 before the inner margin of the hindwing. and the tooth of the distal median line in the middle of the hindwing 

 is wanting. From Paramaribo and the interior of Surinam. 



E. crantor F. is a doubtful species for America. According to Fabricius the upper surface is brown, cnmlor. 

 the forewing without spots, hindwing with a black eye-spot with double pupil. Beneath lighter, with darker 

 bands, forewing with 2 eye-spots, hindwing with 5, of which the 1st and 4th are black with double pupil, 

 the 3rd and 5th blind. Fabricius gives the size as the same as that of the Indian, M yraJesis viineus L., which 

 measures 44 — 4(3 mm. As locality he mentions India. Donovan in his Insects of India figures under the name 

 crawtor a species which agrees with that of Fabricius in the number of eye-spots, but not in the number of puj^ils. 

 GoDART copies Fabricius' description and adds: ,,From Brazil." Westwood in Genera Diurnal Lepid. gives 

 as locality Brazil, Pernambuco and Honduras and mentions that the sjiecies is in the British IVIuseum, which 

 according to Butler (Proc. Zool. Soc. isGG, p. 4(57) is not correct. Godman and Salvin, however, regarded the 

 Honduras examples referred to by Westwood as belonging to E. lube Btlr. The figure in Donovan is similar 

 in the scheme of markings to the following ocniis. but the ground-colour of the underside is more rust-red in 

 crantor. 



E. ocnus Btlr. (47 d). Above brown with 3 dark marginal lines, of which on the forewing only the middle ooui-'i. 

 one, on the hindwing all three are undulate. At the anal angle of the hindwing a black patch bordered with 

 red-yellow. Beneath lighter, somewhat inclined to violet, with 2 reddish brown median bands, of which 

 the proximal is directed distad at the costa of the forewing, 3 undulate marginal lines; forewing with 1 to 3 

 small eye-spots before the apex on a brown band, hindwing with 5 eye-spots, the 2nd and 5th large with silvery 

 double pupils, the first the same, but small, the others red-yellow marked with thick silver spots, all margined 

 with brown. From Tapajos (Amazons). — Opima form. nov. (47 d) is a form of oenu.s which differs on the under- opim/i. 

 side of the hindwing in the 3rd and 4th eye-spots having a brown dot in the middle instead of the silver spots 

 and on the upperside in the dark patch not being bordered with red-yellow. From Jurua. — pallema SeJiaK.v is pulleina. 

 a further form of ocw«.y, the upper surface altogether without eye-spots oi' dark patt'hes. but bTMicath (|uife 

 similar to the type-form. From Peru. 



E. eriphule Btlr. Above brown with 3 dark brown undulate lines at the margin and an indistinct dot at triphut::. 

 the anal angle of the hindwing. Beneath lighterwitha thin brown line before the middle, a broader one beyond 

 the middle, the latter broadly bordered distally with light violet and angled at the inner margin of the hindwing; 

 3 black marginal lines. Forewing without eye-spots, hindwing with 5, ringed \\ith red-yellow, the first 2 and the 

 last black with silvery pupils, the others with thick, oval, silvery dots. 37 mm. From Pernambuco (Brazil). 



E. electra Btlr. Dark brown with 3 black nuirginal lines and a black anal eye-spot with brown ring e/crlm. 

 and blue ]iupil. Beneath somewhat lighter with the same marginal lines. Forewing with an oblicpie transverse
