210 EUPTYGHIA. By G. Weymer. 



eye-spots on the luulerside of the hindwing. however, are much larger than in the (^, and there is farther a quite 

 small eye-spot before the apex of the forewing beneath. The size of the eye-spots varies greatly. From lirazil. 



Lea Group. 



lea. E. lea Cr. (ts f). Aljove glossy blue, apex, costal and distal margins of the forewing and the greater 



part of the veiais black. Beneath browjiish grey, the posterior half t)f the hindwing in the J glossy blue, in the 

 $ more bhie-grey. Both wings with 2 nearly straight, parallel dark brown median stripes, of whicli the proximal 

 on the forewing does not reach the costal and iiuier margms, and with 3 marginal lines. Forewing with 2 small 

 eye-spots before the apex, hindwing with 6 black eye-spots, each with white pupil and siu'rounded by an oclire- 

 vellow ring and outside it a brown one, only the 2nd and 5th large, the others very small. From Win-inam. — 

 jvn'id. junia Cr. is a form of lea with the upper surface entirely sky-blue and onlj' bordered by a narrow l)lack marginal 

 line. On the under surface of the forewing only one eye-spot is present. The 5 has the margins of both wings 

 philippa. brown. From Surinam and Brazil (Para and Baiiia). — philippa Btlr. is a form belonging here, ui ^vhich the 

 upper surface is entirely brown and only the hindwing is blue-grey in the ,J towards the apex and in the $ 

 towards the base. There are also 2 indistiirct brown marginal lines, which are undulate towards the apex of 

 the forewing and on. the hindwing. The under surface is exactly as m juiiia. The antemiae are above brown, 

 beneath rust-coloured, towards the ti]i rin.ged with black, tJie tip itself white. From Ega. 



Cephus Group. 



ccpkiis. E. cephus F. (^ = lysidice Cr., $ = doris Cr.) (49 b). The .j' is above glossy .sky-blue. Forewing A\ith 



the costal and distal margms blackish grey; a stripe of the same colour runs from the base over the median 



and is divided on. the branches of this vein; all the veins are blackish grey at the distal margin. On the hind- 



. wing all the margijis are the same, only the inner margin somewhat lighter. The uiider surface is likewise 



sky-blue with brown transverse stripes and marginal litres , one eye-spot on the forewing and 4 on the huidwing. 



The $ is above unicolorous grey-brown, with bluish white terminal liiie at the margin of the hindwing. The 



under smiace is cpute similar to the J^ except that the eye-spots are larger. This beautiful species is widely 



distribiited in South America; it occurs in almost the whole of the Amazon country; further in Sii.rmam, Co- 



aiujdicii. lombia and South Brazil (Rio de Janeiro), — angelica Btlr. is a form of cephus which only differs in its larger 



size (48 mm.), in having an undulate, inner marginal line on the under surface and in the transverse stripes 



on the forewing only reaching to the middle. From Rio de Janeiro. 



pariheiiic. E. partheiiie spec. nov. (48 f). Above bluish grey-brown with 2 tlark brown marginal Hnes, between 



which on the hindwing is placed a whitish line, otherwise without markings. Beneath light bluish grey with 



2 narrow median stripes, a fine .submarginal line and 2 fme marginal lines. The tmter of the median stripes 



is somewhat proximally curved on the fore^\'ui.g, hence the marginal area is broader than usual. Forewuig with 



1 eye-spot, hindwing with 6, of which the 2 middle ones are mdistuict, the 1st and last small, the other 2 somewhat 

 larger. (38 mm.). From Mmas Geraes. Of this species I received a female from the Thieme collection, deter- 

 mined as angelica $ ; but as it is nuicli smaller than ancjelicii q and the colouring and pattern are quite dif- 

 ferent from cephus, I regard it as a separate species. 



(/hiKc'uia. E. glaucina Bates (49 b). Above pale blue-grey, n.ot glossy, forewing grey-browai at the apex and the 



costal and distal mai'gins, vems on. both wings and th<:» 3 marginal lines of the hindwing likewise grey-brown. 

 Beneath pale blue with 4 brown lines before autl l)ehind the middle and 2 marginal lines. Forewuig Avith one, 

 hindwing with 4 ocelli as in. cephus. The $ i* unicolorous brown above. Rather widely distributed in Mexico 

 (jlauai. and Guatemala from the lowlands up to 1500 m. — glauca 'S7;//-. /. /. (49 b) is a more restrictive form of glnucina, 

 in which the forewmg is almost entirely dusted with grey-brown and the blue colouring is only present near 

 the inner margm. An elongate, more thinly scaled spot is placed at the middle of the inner margin. The hind- 

 wing is somewhat brighter blue than in glnucina, with black costal margin and 3 black marginal luies. The under 

 surface is likewise similiar to glaucina, but has 5 eye-spots on the hindwing in cellules 2 — 6, the two in cellules 



2 and 5 larger, black with 1 bluish white and I brown ring, withoiit pupils, the others small, indi.stinct, cotisist- 

 ing of a brown ring, which is filled up with the blue ground-colour and has a brown central dot. The eye- 

 spot in. cellule 1 c of the hindwing is thus absent here. From Bolivia. 



hrixhiti. E. brixius Godt. Above bluish grey with 6 dark brown transverse stripes and 2 marginal lines. Beneath 



the ground-colour is lighter, the stripes as above ; on the 4th stripe of the hindwing are placed 5 eye-spots, of 

 which the 1st, 2nd and last have white iris, but the other two are without iris. All these eye-spots are black 



hrix'wla. with double silvery pupils, 38 mm. From Brazil. — brixiola Btlr. is a somewhat smaller form of brixius, which 

 according to Butlee's description has one less transverse stripe on the wings. The ^ is above light grey, the $ 

 light brown, on the 4th stripe the hindwing has 2 indistinct black eye-spots with white pupils. The under surface 

 is bluish white, with the stripes as above. Before the apex of the forewing ui the $ a black, yellow-ringed eye- 

 spot with silvery double pupil and 2 indistinct eye-spots below it (iji the,:^ these are all obsolescejit). On the 

 hindwing five similar ocelli, always distinct, of which the 2nd and 5th are larger, ojily the 3rd and 4tli entirely 

 silvery and with yellow rings, 35 mm. From Para.
