and 6 on the hindwing, the 2nd and 5th being the largest and the 3rd consisting of 2 eye-spots obliquely ad join- 



honarieiisis. ing one another. From Coi-doba. — bonariensis Burnt. (47 f) is a further form of celmis, which on the upper 



surface has neitlier eye-spots nor dots and beneath only brown rings instead of the eye-spots. Froin Buenos Aires. 



(jrimon. E. gritllOll Godt . (47 f). Above olive-brown with undulate submarginal and 2 dark brown marginal 



lines, between the latter on the hindwing a whitish grey line. Beneath light brownish grey, finely dotted with 

 brown, with 2 dentate darker lines through the middle and the 3 marginal lines as above. Forewing with 3 eye- 

 spots, only the first distinct, the others obscure. Hindwing with 5 eye-spots, the first 2 and the last black with 

 double white pupil, the others composed only of brown rings with ochre-yellow pupils. From Brazil. 



phronhts. E. plironius Godt. (47 f). Above grey-brown, witii indistinct darker marginal lines and similar submar- 



ginal line, also nn indistinct dark dot at the anal angle of the hindwing. Beneatli yellowish grey, finely dotted 

 with brown all over, with 2 dentate darker transverse lines thnnigh the middle, on which at each vein is placed 

 a dark brown dot. Marginal area somewhat lighter, contaiiiing 1 — 4 white dots on the forewing, 4 — 5 on the 

 hindwing. (Sometimes some of these dots are double or jjresent incomj)letely formed dark rings. St. Oatharina 

 (Brazil). 



armet)is. E. actTienis Hb)). (51 b). Above black-grey. Beneath more brownish grey, sprinkled with dark brown 



dots. The dark brown median lines are fairly straight on the forewing, on the hindwing strongly undulate and 

 running parallel with the distal margin. The median area enclosed by them is dark brown on the hindwing. 

 The marginal area becomes gradually darker towards the distal margiia, but shows no eye-spots or dots. The 

 fringes light brownish. The locality of tiiis species is unknown, for that given by Hubner (Baltimore) is incorrect. 

 It resembles the preceding species, but the median band is much more strongly curved in acinenis and the white 

 dots in the marginal area, as well as the dark bi'own dots on the median lines, are absent. 



Paeon Group. 



paeon. E. paeon Godt. (51 b). Margin of the hindwing obtusely dentate, in the ,^ moi'c strongly, in the $ more 



weakly. Above grey-brown, with an undulate submarginal and 2 marginal lines dark brown. Of the latter 

 the inner is proximally widened and on the hindwing forms crescentic spots between the veins. An imdulate 

 whitish line between these marginal lines. At the anal angle of the hindwing a small, round, dark brown spot, 

 which in the $ is larger, in the (^ smaller or absent. Beneath there are on the forewing in addition to the lines 

 of the upper surface 2 straight median lines and a small eye-.spot before the apex. The iiindwing is brownish 

 grey or brownish yellow in the basal half and at the costal margin, becoming gradually darker posteriorly, marbled 

 all over with dark brown. Two dark brown, strongly deirtate transverse stripes run from the costal to the 

 inner margin. In the marginal area 4 small black eye-spots with double white pupils, 2 at the apex and 2 at the 

 marmorain. inner angle. Rio de Janeiro and vSt. Catharina. — marmorata Btlr. (47 f) is a form of paeon in which the under 

 surface is much lighter and the dark brown posterior half of the hindwing in the type-form is restricted to a dark 

 spot at the distal margin. All else as in that, hence the transverse lines stand out more distinctly. Rio de Janeiro, 

 St. Catharina, Rio Grande do Sul. 



ermst'mn. E. emestina spec. nov. (47 f). Similar to paeon, but the shape is rounder, the distal margin but slightly 



undulate, not dentate, and above in addition to the anal spot of the hindwing a round black spot is present 

 before the apex of the forewing, which is wanting in paeon. On the underside of the forewing the 2nd transverse 

 stripe is not straight, but distally curved and here are placed 3 eye-spots, a black one with yellow iris and white 

 pupil before the apex, and 2 smaller ones below it, consisting of brown rings with double, oval, silvery pupils. 

 On the hindwing the transverse stripes are broader, the second is forked anteriorly and behind it are placed 

 5 eye-spots, of which those in cellules 2, 5 and (') are black with white pupils, yellow iris and brown rings, whilst 

 those in cellules 3 and 4 consist merely of brown rings with double, oval, silvery pupils. From Esperito Santo 

 (Brazil). 



Hermes Group. 



aiii!ii;/iiti. E. anibigua Btlr. (48 a). Above lirown with 3 indistinct marginal lines, the proximal one dentate 



Hindwing with ochre-yellow marginal line. Beneath lighter, the first transverse line irregular, the second curved 

 round at the inner margin of the hiiulwmg, the marginal lines as above. Both wings with 5 ocelli, which have 

 brown rings and mostly double silvery pupils and on the hindwing are placed in an angular row. From Rio de 

 viodesUi. Janeiro. — niodesta Btlr. Similar to the preceding, somewhat larger, above browii, of the 3 marginal lines 

 the proximal one is undulate. Beneath brownish grey with 2 oblique, but fairly straight, red-brown median lines. 

 The marginal lines as above. Forewing with 3 ochre-yellow-ringed eye-spots, of which the first has a double 

 silvery pupil. Hindwing with 5 ocelli, which have red-yellow rings and partly single, partly double silvery pu- 



hudmcri. pils. From Para and Cameta (Amazons). — huebneri Btlr. is above quite like ambigua, beneath the ground- 

 colour is more brownish at the base, more grey at the aj)ex, ochre-coloured at the hindmargin. The median 

 transverse lines arc red-brown and the first is nearly straight. On the hindwing there is a (ith small eye-spot
