214 EUPTYOHIA. By G. Weymer. 



and a light brownish ring. Beneatli light lilac with 2 red-brown median and a short, oblique basal stripe, a similar 

 band in the marginal area, on Mhich the eye-spots are placed, and 3 marginal lines. On the forewing a black 

 eve-spot before the apex, with ochre-yellow ring and glossy white pupil, and some silver dots below it. Hindwing 

 with 5 ocelli or eye-shaped spots, of which the 1st. 2nd and 5th I'esemble the eye-spot on the forewing, but 

 the 2ncl and especially the 5th are much larger, whilst the 3rd and 4th are composed only of silver spots with 

 red-brown borderui.g. From Surinam and the Tapajos. In the Surinam examples the inner margiia of the forewing 

 aiialis. is somewhat ochre-yellow on the under surface. — analis Godm. (48 f) is a form of bafesii with a slight purple 

 suffusion above and a distmct spot of dark blue scales at the anal angle of the hiudwijig. The red-brown bands 

 on the imder surface are broader and show tlu'ough above: otherwise not different from hatesii. From Sno 

 ia-sa. Paido and the Tapajos (Amazon) and from Pebas in Peru. — The form tersa Stgr. i. I. (49 a) is cpiite similar 

 to batesii on the upper surface, but on the underside, instead of the 2 or 3 silver spots which hatesii and analis 

 have between the eye-spots of the hindwing. bears 2 further small brown eye-spots wdth grey pupil, yellow 

 iris and dark brown outer ring. In addition there is also a quite small, but otherwise similar black ocellus at 

 the anal angle of the hLiwlwing, so that there are 6 eye-spots altogether on this wing. Locality unknown. Coll. 

 lluiksm. Banc4-IIaas. — thalessa Moschl. is accordmg to its author's figure a form of hatesii which only differs in having 

 a small black eye-spot with white pupil, placed in cellule 3 on the hindwing between the two large eye-spots. 

 But in the corresponding description the ej^e-spot is not mentioned, the cellule in question, on the contrary, 

 being described as without eye-spot. From Surinam. 



jimiu. E. juani Stgr. (49 a). Above dark brown-grey, with only the anal eye-spot of the hindwing showing 



througJi somewhat above. The under siirface is similar to that of hatesii. but the ground-colour in the basal 

 ])art to the 2n.d transverse stripe is much darker, brownish grey. The whitish grey ground-colour is confined 

 to the distal half of the wings. The 2 dark brown median stripes are broad, straiglit and parallel. The submar- 

 ginal line is rather broad, not dentate but almost straiglit. On the broad brown l)and in the marginal area are 

 placed on the forewing one eye-spot, on the hindwing 5 black ocelli, of uhicli the 5th is very large and with 

 single white pupil, the 1st and 2nd small with double pupil, whilst the 3rd and 4th bear in the middle oblong 

 silver streaks. All are margined with ochre-yellow. From the Rio San Juan in West Colombia. 



tricolor. E. tricolor Heir. (49 a). One of the most beautiful species of the genus. Above the forewing is bi'nwii. 



the costal margin reddish brown; a glossy blue line runs parallel with the posterior part of the distal margin. 

 The hindwing is black-brown with a broad red-yellow co.stal margin and a glossy blue stripe along the Inner 

 margin and the posterior pai't of the distal margm. Beneath light violet-grey with 2 broad brown median stripes, 

 a narrow oblicjue stripe at the base of both wings, a bi'oad vague band in the marginal area, on which the eye- 

 spots are placed, and 3 smooth margiaial lines running parallel with the distal margin. On the forewing one 

 eye-spot before the apex, on the hindwing 3, as iii hatesii, ur cellules 2, 5 and G, but the first very large and 

 all with double pupils and between them in cellules 3 an.d 4 several elongate silver streaks placed in 2 oval brown 



fidyora. spots bordered with red-yellow. From Fojiteljoa, Tapajos (Amazon.s). — The form fulgora Btlr. (49 a) is distin- 

 guished by a bright iridescent blue stripe, which on the upper surface of the forewing extends from the base 

 across the cell, widens before the apex in all the cellules and is then contiiiued as a narrow line along the distal 

 margin to the inner angle. From Pebas in Peni and from Coca in Ecuador. 



nortia. E. nortia Heii\ (49 a), o above yellowish white with the costal margin of the forewing and the distal 



margin of both wings brown, the brown bands of the under .surface also showiiig through above. Under sur- 

 face white, with 2 broad, parallel, brown median stripes and m the marginal area a broad brown band, which 

 on the forewing contains no eye-spots. On the hmdwing instead of this band 2 small eye-spots at the apex, 

 2 at the anal angle (one very large), all black with white ]>upils and red-yellf)w and brown rings and between 

 those in cellules 3 and 4 two lead-coloured longitudinal streaks in red-yellow and brown oval spots. At the 

 distal margm 3 bi'own marginal lines, which on the hindwuig are somewhat undulate. The $ is grey-ljrown 

 above, towards the distal margin darker, the median stripes of the under surface show through above. Beneath 

 the markings are similar to those of the q. but the basal and median, areas are finely dusted with brown as far 

 as the 2nd (somewhat basally curved) median, band, so that only the distal part retains the light ground-i'olour. 

 The ocelli and silver spots, however, are as in the q ■ From Pebas (Peru), the Tapajos (Amazojis) and Cayenne. 

 iwliili.'i. nobilis form. nov. (49 a) is a secoird 5-form of nortia. in which the distal half of the foi'ewing above is light 

 whitish grey and the basal half, the whole costal margin and 2 marginal lines brown. The light colourijig is 

 contimied also on the hindwing at the apex for a short distance, but then gradually shades into the brown 

 groiind-colour. Oji the under surface the 2nd browji median stripe is not curved but straight and the light 

 band beside it considerably narrower. The eye-spots are as in the t_vpe-form. From Tabatinga on the Amazon. 

 moderatn. modcrata form. nov. (48 g) is another female form of nortia. in which the light band on the imder surface 

 is likewse cpute straight on both wings behind the middle. But the Tipper surface of both wings is entirely 

 brown, as in the $ of the tvpe-form. and has 3 dark brown marginal lines. From the Mapiri (Bolivia). 

 serjesia. E. segesta spec. nov. (51 b). (^. The upper surface is unicolorous brown with 3 brown marginal lines, 



which on the forewing are indistinct. The under surface is similar to the $$ of E. nortia. but distinguished 

 by the different position of the white median band. This band on both wings is placed hetireen the U\'o' hrowii
