204 EUPTYCHIA. By G. Weymer. 



line behind the middle and without eye-spots, hindwing with 2 median lines and 5 yellow-ringed ocelli, the 

 first 2 and the last black, the others brown, the first 2 with single, the last 3 with double lustrous blue pupils. 

 The $has beneath before the apex of the fore wing a yellow dot and below it one larger and 2 smaller, obscure 

 eye-spots. 42 mm. Bahia. 



imriahilis. E. Variabilis Btk. Above olive-brown with lighter fringes, 2 dark margin.al lines and an undulate 



submarginal line at some distance from them. Forewing with a faint band behind the middle. Hindwing with 

 2 black, brown-bordered eye-spots before the anal angle, the upper and larger has 2, the lower only one pupil. 

 On the lighter under surface the forewing towards the apex is sprinkled with brown, with 2 widely separated 

 median lines. The 3 marginal lines as above, without ocelli. Hindwing somewhat inclining to violet, at the 

 base sprinkled with brown, with 2 median Imes, the distal one forming an angle in the middle and with 6 

 ochre-yellow-ringed eye-spots, of which the 3rd is indistinct, the rest some black, some brown and for the most 

 part with double pupils. Aberrations occur with smaller eye-spots. 45 mm. From Brazil (Pernambuco, Rio 

 de Janeiro). 



urhana. £. Ufbatia Bflr. (47 e). Above olive-brown, an undulate submarginal and 2 marginal lines darker, be- 



tween the latter at the anal angle of the hindwing a brick-coloured line, beside it 2 oval black eye-spots, the 

 distal one in cellule 2 twice as large as the proximal, both with brick-coloured rings and silvery pupils. The 

 under surface is sprinkled with dark brown, the 2 rust-coloured median lines diverge towards the costa of the 

 forewing, but run parallel on the hindwing, the proximal forms a short angle on the forewing, the distal on the 

 hindwing. Forewing with one or 2 blind eye-spots, hindwing with 6 eye-spots, of which the 2nd and the last 

 2 are darker and larger than the rest, but all have silvery pupils. From Colombia and Paraguay. 



affinis. E. affinis Bflr. Above pale brown with 3 dark marginal lines, between which on the hindwing is placed 



an ochre-yellow line. A black, blue-pupilled and yellow-ringed ocellus at the anal angle of the hindwing. Under 

 surface ochreous with 2 brown median lines, the proximal straight, the distal on the forewing curved clistad 

 at the costal margin, but on the hindwing uniting at the inner margin with the partly angled, partly undulate 

 submarginal line. In the marginal area a brown band, on wliich in the forewing are placed 3, in the hindwing 

 5 ocelli, the first on the forewing, the 1st, 2:i.d and 5th on the hindwing black, the others brown, but all \nth 

 double silvery pupils and ochre-yellow rings. 42 mm. From Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco. 



vesiigiala. E. vestigiata Btlr. Above olive-brown, 2 median and 3 marginal lines dai'k brown. 2 very small ocelli 



with silvery pupils at the anal angle of the hindwing. Beneath much lighter, sprinkled with a numl)er of brown 

 atoms, 2 narrow, yellow, fairly straight median stripes bordered with black at both sides, which only form an angle 

 at the inner margin of the hindwing. The strongly dentate submarginal line is similarly coloured on the hindwing, 

 black on the forewing. Forewing with 3 eye-spots, the first, with yellow ring and silver pupil, before the apex, 

 the others indistinct. Hindwing with 6 eye-spots, the 2nd and 5tli black with double silvery pupils, the two 

 middle ones brown and dusted with silver scales, the two outer only small, but all ringed with yellow and 

 brown. 40 mm. From Minas Geraes. 



ochmcca. E. ochracca Btlr. (47 e). Above unicolorous olive-brown, distal margin somewhat darker. Beneath 



yellowish brown, finely dusted with brown, with 2 straight brown median lines, diverging anteriorly, a broad, 

 light ochre-yellow band and a washed-out brownish one. On the latter are placed on the forewing 2, on the 

 hindwing 6 small black eye-shaped spots in somewhat lighter rings, the 2nd and 5th finely pupilled Avith white. 

 From Ypisanga (Brazil), coll. Luderwald. 



Renata Group. 



renaki. E. renata Cr. Above brown with a small eye-shaped spot at the hinder angle of the forewing in cellule 2. 



Beneath likewise brown, finely striated all over with dai-k brown, with 2 straight dark brown median lines, 

 an undulate submarginal and 2 straight marginal lines, a small eye-spot befoi'e the apex of the forewing and 4 

 eye-spots on the hindwing, 2 at the apex in cellules 5 and 6 and 2 at the inner angle in cellules 1 b and 2. 

 The eye-spot in cellule 2 measures 3% mm., that in cellule 5 214 mm. in diameter, the others are smaller, all are 

 black, with white pupils (the one in cellule 5 bi-pupilled) and bright, broad red-yellow rings. From Surinam. 

 This species 'appears to have been hitherto misidentified, for the figures of renata in the Biol. Centr. Amer. and 

 in Statjdinger Exot. Tagf. do not agree with Cramer's figure and text. In these figures the eye-spot on the 

 upper surface of the forewing is wanting, of which Cramer mentions the position very exactly in his description, 

 and the under surface is much lighter, with the ocelli much smaller, than in Cramer and ringed with pale 

 disaffpcla. yellow. I retain for this form, which must be separated from renata, the name disaffecta Btlr. (47 d). It has 

 no eye-spot on the upperside of the forewing, but on the hindwing a distinct one with red-yellow ring and white 

 pupil. The under .surface is much lighter than the upper, especially in the marginal area. The ocelli are much 

 smaller and ringed with pale yellow, and vary in number from 3 to 6. The first and the two middle ones are 

 often very indistinct or entirely absent. Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela,
