wing. From Siiuth Brazil (Parana). — stelligera Btlr. is a form of quiintius in wliich the anterior wliite dot on .<</eUiiicra. 

 tlie underside of the hindvving is somewhat larger. From Parana and Esperito Santo. 



E. eusebia Btlr. (47 g). Al)ove olive-hroun, with the (hstal margm (hirker. Benealli Hglitcr in the cu.Wvm. 

 marginal area. Of the median Imes only the anterior half of the outer line is visible on the forewing, on the hiiid- 

 wing the inner median line is almost straiglit. the outer undulate. Before the apex of the forewing a white dot 

 surrounded with dark. On tlie hindwing 5 or (i similar eye-shaped dots. The submarginal line forms shallow 

 lumdes on the forewing. deeper ones on the hinduing. Fi'om Oolomhia (Bogotti). Antilles (coll. Baxg-Haas). 



E. boliviana Godni. (47 g). Above olive-brown, Ben.eath the forewijig is olive-brown, with the distal boJiriann. 

 margiji broadly oehre-yellow. proximally to which are placed 2 or 3 white subapical dots. An undulate sub- 

 marghial line and 2 straight margmal lines brown. The hindwing is strongly dusted with white in the posterior 

 half, the distal margin dull ochre-yellow, the base brown, 2 very dentate median and an undulate submargi]ial 

 line dark l»rown.. In the marginal area a row of fine white dots. Bolivia (San Jacinto, Corvica). 



E. griseola .spec. hop. (47 g). Above grey-brown, costal and distal margin darker, hiiuUving lighter, gfisrold. 

 marguial lines indistinct. Under surface yellowish gi'ey, iji. the marginal area lighter, the first transverse line 

 indistinct, the second more strongly dentate on the hijulwin.g than, on the forewing, tlie submarginal lijie dentate 

 on both wings, the marginal lines on the forewing straight, on the hindwing undulate. In the marginal area on 

 the forewing 5 brown spots, the 3 middle ones with silveiy pu])ils, hindwing with ") ocelli with silvery j)U])ils 

 and oclu'e-yellow and brown rings. From the Mapiri. 



E. griseldis ■spec. nov. (48 d) $. The distal margin of the hindwuig is strongly deiitate, the inner margin t/ri-ieldi.'i. 

 excised. Above grey-brown, the distal half of the hin.dwing lighter. No first tran.sverse line discernible. The 

 2nd transverse line is placed, on both whigs somewhat further distad than usual an.d is fairly straight. Sub- 

 marghial line dentate, 2 marginal lines dark, a black dot in cellule 2 of the hin.dwing. Under surface yellow- 

 grey, inner margin, of the forewing and distal half of the hindwing lighter, finely sprinkled all over with brown, 

 forewing with the same transverse liji.es as above, hindwing with a straight first transverse line, the 2nd transverse 

 line widened into a broad brown, band, iji the light marginal area 3 black dots, in part with double white pupils 

 and some brown spots between them. From E.sperito Santo (Brazil). 



E. muscosa Btlr. (4S e) $ has the apex of the forewing truncate, so that an obtuse angle is formed in the niuscc.ia. 

 distal margin, at veiji 5 and a right angle at the costal marghi ; in the 2 figured this point is even, somewhat 

 produced. Hen.ce the species forms a transition to the genus Pindis. Above nnicolorous olive-ln'own. On the 

 under surface the forewing is lighter brown and irrorated all over M'ith dark Ijrown. The ground-colour of the 

 hindwing is more bluish grey, likewise irrorated with brown, bearing in. the middle a blue-grey spot with less 

 irroration, behind this a broad blue-grey band without any; but in the $ this band is also irrorated. — According 

 to W. Mi'iLLER the egg of this species is roun.d, without markings. The young larva resembles that of Taygetis 

 ypthima. The body is whitish green, adorned with fine bristlj^ hairs, the head liglit brown, rugose, with conical 

 elevations, on which are placed short black-brown horns with bristly hairs. The larvae feed on grasses, but 

 died before the first moult. The Initterfly is distributed in South Brazil (Blumenau. Joinville, Siio Paulo). 



E. antonoe Cr. (48 e). One of the largest species. Above brown with 2 dark marginal lines on the fore- antono'c. 

 wing and 3 on the hindwing, also a small, black, oval spot in cellule 2 of the hindwing. Beneath lighter brown, 

 with 2 almost straight brown median, stripes. 3 eye-spots on the forewing, only the first distinct, 5 on the hind- 

 wing, the 2nd and 5th large, the others smaller, all in. red-yellow rings. From Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, 

 Panama, Venezuela, Surinam, Amazons. — zeba Btlr. is a form of antonoe with the uniler surface lighter brown- -eha. 

 ish grey, the median bands somewhat narrower and convergiirg somewhat towards the anal margin of the hin<l- 

 wing. From Pelias in Peru. 



E. sabina FUlr. (4Se) is somewhat similar to (oitonof Cr.. but con.siderably smaller. The ujtper surface .<;nl>iiiii. 

 is grey-brown with 3 faint transverse stripes, which ai'e broader on the hindwing, a large black eye-spot with 

 yellow and brown rings in cellule 2 of the hindwing before the anal angle and 2 similar, somewhat obscure 

 eye-spots at the apex of the same wing; the other 2 eye-spots of the underside only show through quite faintly 

 above, the under surface is lighter, with one ocellus on the forewing and 5 on the hindwing. I^'i'om the Ama- 

 zons and Oayenne. The figure is from Felder's type in coll, Rothschild. 



E. lineata Godm. (45 c). The hindwing of this species is more elongate than in. antonoe. with the aual Ihwaln. 

 half of the distal margin dentate. The upper surface is unicolorous brown, the under surface somewhat lighter 

 l)rown, with a straight, yellowish white, sharj)ly defined median band 1 mm. in breadth and a narrow, brown, 

 white-edged basal line. On the broad distal margin, which is nnich lighter, the dentate submarginal line and the 

 marginal line stand out distinctly. Each wing bears 2 or 3 small, black, white-pupilled eye-spots. The median 

 l)and varies greatly in shape, width and colourijig. From Jlanaure in the Sierra -Nevada, from S.mtii ^larta 

 (900 m.) in North Colombia, Carmen (1200 m.) in West Columbia, in August. — I propose the name interrupta hilcrnipld. 

 form. nov. for a form in which the median band on the underside of the forewing is only indicated at the costal 

 margin by a ]iointed wliite triangle. l)eing otherwise replaced by a dark brown line, accompanied distally in
