222 EUPTYCHIA. By G. Weymee. 



ielesphora. E. tclespliora Btlr. (= telesiphora Kirbi/) (49 t). Above brown witli 3 darker niarguial lines, hindwing 



in the middle somewhat lighter, at the anal angle a dark brown sjiot. Beneath grey-brown with a row of black, 

 silver-centred dots, enclosed in groups of 2 or 3 by brown rings, all again enclosed by an outer brown line. Hind- 

 wing light yellowish, at the margin, reddish yellow with 3 black eye-spots with silver pupils as in the preceding 

 species, and with several silver dots between and behind them, all margined with black. From the Marcapata 

 (Peru). 



cloriDicne^ E. clorimcne Stoll. Above brown with the distal margui lighter; hindwing with a narrow and a some- 



what broader, dentate, pale yellow marginal stripe and a small eye-shaped spot at the anal angle. Beneath 

 lighter, the distal margin brownish yellow, with naiTow brown transverse lines and a broader brown stripe, which 

 is intersected by a silver line. On the middle of the hindwing a broad light brown transverse bajid, through which 

 runs a yellow-brown stripe. The marginal area is brownish yellow with 4 round silver spots, placed in black 

 rings. Between and behind these rings are placed 3 silver streaks, which reach the distal margin. The distal 

 margin itself is bordered by 3 black and i light yellow lines. From Surinam. Rare. 



pagyris. E. pagyn's Godt. (-tUf). Above brown, forewing without markings, hindwing towards the anal angle 



whitish with 3 black dots, of which the middle is the largest. The forewing beneath brown with 2 rust-coloured 

 transverse stripes and before the distal margin a row of silvery dots. The hindwing beneath in the basal half 

 grey with the same 2 rust-coloured transverse stripes as the forewing, in the distal half yellowish with 7 silver 

 spots, of which 5 are nearly round and placed parallel to the distal margin., the other two, and especially the one 

 next to the inner margin, elongated and reaching the second rust-coloured stripe. Between the 4th and 5th 

 of these round spots there is a large, oval, black spot, transversely placed and marked with 2 thick silver 

 dots. On the grey distal margin are placed 2 blackish undulate lines. From Brazil. 



hi/ijiDd. E. hygiiia Btlr. (49 f). Pale olive-brown. Hindwing with a large red-yellow discal spot, sin-rounded 



by 5 blackish spots, of which the 3 smaller, anterior ones form a triangle. Beneath whitish brown, the transverse 

 lines and silver spots similar to those of the preceding species, but the 2nd transverse line on the hindwing very 

 irregidar and the marginal ai"ea Ijeyond it almost entirely filled up by the bright red-yellow bordei'ing of the 

 silver spots. From Brazil (Joinville). 



salvini. E. salviiii Btlr. (49 f). Grej'-brown, basal half of the forewing lighter. The dark transverse stripes of 



the under surface show thi'ough distinctly above. The hindwing in the middle whitish with 2 round black 

 spots at the apex and a larger one in celhile 2, between them two smaller ones nearer to the distal margin. Beneath 

 white, forewing with (> brown, transverse stripes, the first oblicpie, the 4th and 6th connected anteriorly and 

 posteriorly, so that they enclose the 5th stripe, on which is placed a row of .silver clots. The hindwing has 

 ill the basal area 3 straight brown stripes and in the ochre-yellow marginal area, which is posteriorly bor- 

 dered with bi'own. an angled row of silver spots, some of them in black rijigs. From Panama and Peru. 



itonis. E. Itoilis Hen\ (49 g). On the upper surface the space between the 3 black marginal lines of the hind- 



wing is reddish brown, and towards the anal angle white. The large white area of the hindvving is divided on 

 the under surface by 2 brown transverse lines, which are here present also on the forewing. For the rest the ground- 

 colour beneath is grey-brown. In the marginal area of the forewing are further 6 parallel brown lines, posteriorly 

 somewhat convergent; among them is a somewhat broader stripe, enclosing a row of silver dots. In the 

 ochre-yellow marginal area of the hindwing, which is distally bordered by an undulate, proximally by a dentate, 

 brown line, is placed at the anal angle a black eye-spot measuring over 3 mm., with thick silvery pupil. 

 (lUdilriiKi. behind it 3 small silver spots and before it 6 somewhat larger ones. From the Amazons (Para). — qua- 

 drina Btlr. is a form of itonis in which the white area of the hindwing has accjuired an almost quadrate shape. 

 The lines on the under surface of the forewing are more widely separated and not curved posteriorly. From 

 Maranham . 



Uhil'uia. E. libitina Btlr. Above brown with a triangular black median spot and 2 marginal lines, hindwing at the 



distal margin lighter with 3 black marginal lines. Beneath much lighter, Forewing with 2 brown median and 3 

 submarginal lines, between them a white band with silver-pupilled spots, Hindwing with 2 ochre-brown 

 median lines, the distal part orange with 8 silver spots, a short white, black-edged band and a similar dot 

 before the margin, a black spot at the anal angle, divided by a white line, and with a small, black-bor- 

 dered silver spot above it, 43 mm. From Brazil, Rare, only in coll, Druce. 



Phocion Group. 



phncion E. phocioil F. (= areolatus Svi.-Abh.. helicta Hbn.) (49 g). Above unicolcu-ous bi'owu. Under surface 



lighter, with the middle ones of the rust-coloured lines on each wing joined into a circle, in which are j)laced 

 on the forewing 3 or 4 eye-shaped spots Avith blue pupils and yellow iris (sometimes indistinct), on the hind- 

 wing 6 similar elongated spots with oval pupils. The egg of this species is yellow-green; it has quite fii^e. rough 

 surface. Larva green with the head scarcely elevated, but with long anal points. Pupa obtuse, rounded, dee]i 

 green, the wing-cases margined with whitish. The larva lives on grasses and is difficult to breed. Habits
