E. Cornelius F. {=-- gemnia ///;//.) (49 f). Above grey-brown, hindwiiig at the distal margin with 2 in- i-nnulius. 

 distinct, l)hxckisli double sjiots. Under surface grey-brown, finely irrorated with iirown. with 2 indistinct. 

 Iirownmedian lines. Hindwing with 4 small black double .S]3ots close to the distal margin, with very small 

 silver spots before, i)eside and behiml them, and also a faint violet sjiot. with sliglit silvei- gloss, at their 

 proximal side. Egg yellow-greenish white with rough surface, yields the larva in April or Augnst after 3 — (i 

 days. The summer form of the larva givy-yellow-brown. the spring form light green witli light whitish yellow 

 lateral and longitudinal lines. Pu])a yellow-grey or light blue-green, head with two slight jJoints. On grass. 

 The larva shows a preference for the vicinity of water, and is consequently often very common in. wet place.s, 

 .sometimes in company with Aer»?e5. The .species is distributed in Nortli America from West Virginia to Mexico 

 and also ot'curs in Guatemala. 



E. argentella Btlr. (49 g). Above brown, the distal margin somewhat darker. Hinxhving at tlie anal aiijculclUi. 

 angle somewhat produced and with 2 dark spots at the distal margin in cellules 3 and 4'. Beneath somewhat lighter. 

 Forewing with three dark transverse lines, hindwing with 2 transverse lines, the 2nd strongly curved inwards 

 and outwards, the ground-colour behind it lighter. In cellule 3 and in cellule 4 a black eye-spot with oblicjuely 

 placed pupil coinjiosed of scattered silvery scales and with red-yellow ring. Before tlie eye-spots are placed 

 in cellules 5 and 6 two round silver .spots and beJiind them in cellules 1 1) and 2 silvery streaks curved in S- 

 shape. From the Volcan de Chiriipii (Panama), also from Guatemala and Costa Rica. The examples from 

 Oosta Rica have a yellowish spot on the hindwing. 



E. rogersi Go<hn. Similar to (irgeiifelld, but the hindwing has only one black spot close to the distal nn/fr.fi. 

 margin in cellule 4. containing a light central dot. The anal angle is more strongly produced. On tlie brown 

 under surface are placed 3 dark brown transverse lines and between the 2nd and 3rd a grey-yellow band, extend- 

 ing across both wings. At the apex of the liindwing a larger and a smaller eye-s])ot and some silver spots above 

 them. From the volcano of Irazu in Costa Rica. 



E. pllilodice Oodm. Above reddish brown. Hijid.wing at the anal angle, as in. the two preceding, obtusely pliilodicc. 

 produced, with an ochre-yellow stripe behind the middle and 3 dark brown spots before the distal margin. 

 Beneath reddish brown, with 3 rust-coloured transverse lines. Between the two outer of these lines is placed 

 a .straight, light reddish yellow band, which begins in a point not far from the costal margin of the forewing 

 and terminates obtusely before the iimer margin, of the hindwing. Before the distal margin. (.)f the hindwing 

 a row of dark brown spots, the middle two the largest, all with sagittate silvery pupils. The 'f is lighter and 

 has the wings more rounded. From (.losta Rica (volcano of Irazu). 



E. nelsoni Godm. Above light olive-brown, the distal margin broadly dark brown, enclosing indistinct uclsoni. 

 black spots. Beneath the forewing is brown, with 3 darker transverse lines, hindwing with straight whitish 

 yellow band, which runs from the apex to the inner angle, a brown median line, before the middle of the distal 

 margin 2 black eye-spots with sagittate ]ni]>ils and on both sides of these similar silver markings. The $ is 

 larger, has the median area of the hindwing aliove almost ochre-yellow, the dark distal margin is narrower and 

 the black sulimarginal .spots stand out distinctly. On. the under surface the light band of the hindwing is absent. 

 From Ci'iTo de Zunil in Guatemala. Elevations of ()0(K> ft. 



E. clinas Godm. Forewing with the apex truncate, the distal margin is bluntly angled at vein 5, posteriorly clina^. 

 concave. Hindwing shai-ply produced at the inner angle, undulate at the distal margin. Above brown, forewing 

 dark brown at the costal and <listal margins, hindwing with 3 round black spots before the distal margin 

 in cellules 3, 4 and 5. Beneath lighter reddish brown with 3 common transverse lines, namely 2 median and one 

 .submarginal, hindwing with 2 black, yellow-ringed ocelli A\'itli douljle silvery ])U])ils before the middle of the 

 distal margin, with 2 round silver spots at the anal angle and a sagittate silver sjiot b(»twecii the median veins.

E. pyracmon Btlr. (J = hilaria 6W//;. [Biol. Amer. pi. 107, fig. 11, 12]). j above reddish l)rowi), with iji/niniion. 

 the distal margin darker, and with large dark brown scale-spot beJiLiKl the median of the forewing. Hindwing 

 dark brown, at the margin lighter, with 2 black spots bordered with reddish brown in cellules 3 and 4 

 near tJie distal margin. In the ? the forewing above has a straight, the hindwing an undulate dark brown 

 median line, which is distally margined with red. Hindmargin of the forewing and apex of the hindwing darker 

 brown. Anal angle reddish with 3 lilack submarginal spots. The under surface in q and Y is yellowish brown 

 with 3 dentate transverse lines on the forewing and 2 on the hindwing. Before the middle of the distal margin 

 on the hindwing 2 black eye-spots in red-yellow rings and with silvery doulile pupils. Before these a glossy 

 grey stripe accompanied by some silver spots at the costal margin and a silver line at the anal angle. From 

 Mexico, Guatemala, (iosta Rica, Panama. The o figured in the Biol. ( eiitr. Amcr. \>\. 107, fig, 11 and 12 

 under the name hilaria is referred by Godm.\n in the text to f)i/riic>ii(>n and the name /lil/iria. which is thus 

 set free, is applied to another species (the next but one).
