at the aiial angle of the hiudwiiig lias a double white i^upil. On the under surface the two somewhat broader 

 median stripes diverge towa.rds the costal angle of the forewing, on the hindwing they run jjarallel, but bend 

 round proxlmad at the inner margin, forming 2 teeth. Forewing with an apical ocellus, black with red-yellow 

 ring and wliite pupil. Hindwing with 6 eye-spots, the first 2 and the last 2 like the one on the forewing except 

 that the first is brown instead of black, the 2 middle ones yellowish brown. From Ohiriqui. — peloria Fldr. pch, 

 (47 e) is a further form of renatit, in which the first transverse stripe on the forewing is strongly curved on the 

 under surface and the other is proximally shaded with yellowish brown. According to Felder's description 

 the hindwing has beneath 6 eye-spots, of which the first and the two middle ones are very indistinct. Our figure 

 is from one of Feeder's types and shows only 3 eye-spots. Venezuela. 



E. mythra Slgr. i. I. (47 e). Above olive-brown with 2 brown marginal lines, and at some distance from nniihra. 

 them an undulate submarginal, between the former on the hindwing a whitish line and at the anal angle a small 

 black ocellus with white pupil anxl red-yellow ring. Beneath brownish gi'ey, finely irrorated with brown and with 



2 straight parallel median lines and in the lighter marginal area a brown band, on which on the forewing are placed 



3 rather obscure eye-spots, on the hindwing 5 small ones. The first 2 and the last on the hrndwing are black, 

 the others brown, all with double dull white pupils and surrounded by ochre-yellow and outer brown rings.

E. abretia f'apr. (46 f). Above light olive-browai. The straight light band on the uiader surface shows ahnfid. 

 through somewhat above, and the 3 marginal lines are also visible. Beneath there is a brown, angled line before 

 the middle, and in the marginal area of the hindwing a row of fine black dots, the first with an extremely fine 

 white pupil. Brazil (Valen9a, Petropolis). Flies in September. 



E. angularis BtJv. (47 e). Differs somewhat in the shape of the wings. The apex of the forewing is ob- rniguhiris. 

 fuse. The hindwing is angled at the submedian and at medians 1 and 2, the inner margin somewhat excised. 

 Above olive-brown, marginal lines and anal sjDot very indistinct. Under surface yellowish grey, finely irrorated 

 with dark brown, with 2 straight reddish brown median lines, a strongly dentate submarginal line and 2 mar- 

 ginal lines on both wings. Forewing with 5 scarcely visible, white, brown-bordered dots (sometimes in yellow 

 rings). On the hindwing 6 small eye-shaped spots or dots, of which the 1st, 3rd and 4th are scarcely visible, 

 the others distinctly black with yellow rings, the 5tli somewhat larger and bi-pupilled. Miiias Geraes (Butler),

E. punctata spec. nov. (47 e). In the shape of the wings cpiite similar to the ju'ceeding species, but the punrUita. 

 under surface is cpiite differently marked. Above olive-brown, forewing without marginal lines, only the fringes 

 somewhat lighter. Hindwing with 2 marginal lines, the distal indistinct, the proximal darker and distinct, with 

 an obscure submarginal line composed of large lunules. Under surface yellowish grej', with slight darker irrora- 

 tion. A fine, brown dentate line runs through the cell of both wings with single darker dots on the veins, in the 

 distal half of the wings 2 broad light parallel stripes, the proximal yellowish, the distal whitish yellow. Proxim- 

 ally to the first strii^e there is a row of fine black dots on the veins, connected by proximalh' directed brown 

 lunules. A similar row of dots is placed outside the distal stripe, on which are jjlaced the distally directed lunules 

 of the submarginal line. These lunules likewise bear black dots in the middle of the cell. Two further rows 

 of clots (the 4th and 5th) are placed on the almost straight marginal lines, which are only undulate in the poste- 

 rior part of the hindwing. There is also a single black dot with white pupil in cellule 2 between the 2 lighter 

 stripes. From Minas Geraes (Brazil), coll. Weymer. 



E. straminea Btlr. Forewing somewhat longer, the apex consecpiently more pointed than in the allied s/mtniiwa. 

 species. The distal margin of the hindwing forms an obtuse angle on vein 3. Above olive-brown, in certain 

 lights copper-coloured, with 2 brown marginal lines, an undulate submarginal line and an indistinct anal ocellus. 

 Beneath ochre-coloured, finely dusted with brown, in the disc pale rose-red, 2 widely separated brown median 

 lines, the distal one proximally margined with yellowish brown, marginal lines as above, between them a yellow 

 line. In the disc a brown band, on which are placed on the forewing 1, on the hindwing 4 eye-spots (2 at 

 the apex and 2 at the hinder angle), all with yellow ring and glossy white pupil, sometimes double. 50 mm.

E. celmis Godt. (47 f). Above brown with 2 dark brown lines and a distal black line at the margin, rchuiy. 

 between which the ground-colour is somewhat lighter, with a small yellow-ringed eye-spot at the anal angle, 

 in the c^ without, in the ? with pupil. Beneath brownish grey, finely irrorated with brown, with 2 angled darker 

 lines through the middle and the 3 marginal lines as above, 1 ocellu.s on the forewing and 5 or 6 on the 

 hindwing, all small, the 2nd and 3rd on the hindwing mostly indistinct, the others black with yellow ring and fine 

 white, mostly double pupils. From Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Common. The species varies as regards the 

 number of the ocelli and their distinctness, also the size ranges from 34—44 mm. — nielchiades Btlr. i» a form >iuM,iwlc.'^. 

 of celmis in which on the hindwing above 2 eye-spots are present at the anal angle, of which the first is 3 times 

 as large as the last. On the under surface there are 5 small ocelli on the forewing, the 2nd somewhat larger.
