with fine dark striation, a dentate black line behind the cell. Beyond thi.s line the ground-colour is lighter with 

 white rings and a curved row of 7 snow-white spots in black rings. Flies at high altitudes in the mountains 

 of Chile and Argentina (4-~7(»OOft. Chilian, Lolco. Pulmari, Quillen, St. Martin). 



F. jolianna spec. riov. (51 a). Above brown. Forewing in the $ with a dou})le eye-sjiot before the ape.x jolumna. 

 with ochre-yellow ring and :2 white pujiils, and with a small lilind eye-s])ot in celhde 2, also with yellow 

 ring. Hindwing above without ocelli. Forewing beneath sonunvhat lighter than above, the eye-spots placed 

 on a broad, somewhat lighter sid)margiiial band. A\hich is contiiuicd on the hindwing also and is proximally 

 bordered by an angled br<nvn line, distally on the forewing by a straight brown line, on the hindwing by one 

 composed of crescents. In tliis band are placed on the hindwing 5 white dots. From Catamarca in Argentina. 



2ri. (iciius: jVtM»sjii,vriis 11'%^. 



Antenna with gradually thickened, ])eai'-shni:)cd club. Costal and jnedian inflated at the base. Three 

 of the subcostal veins run into the costal, two into the distal margin. The middle discocellidar vein is angled. 



N. anibiorix Wllgr. (— minimus Bllr.) (51 c). Above brown. Beneath lighter, forewing with red-yellow amiiiurix. 

 disc and double eye-spot before the apex, hindwing with a row of wliite dots, 2 of which are ocellated. 

 Common in Chile to the Argejitine border at elevations of from 3()0() to tilHH) ft. Flies from Decembei to Fe- 

 l)ruarv. From the description and figiu'c I take ttiiniinu-s Blh\ to be a small t'xample of anibiorix. 



N. simplex Bflr. (Argyrophenga s.) belongs here according to Elwes. Above unicolorous brown. Beneath si, k pier. 

 the forew ing is lu'ick-coloured orange, with dark costal and distal margins and jialc brown inner margin ; a lai'ge 

 black eye-spot before the apex with 2 small white pupils and white ring. Hindwing pale brown with a small 

 orajige spot in the cell and a small lunidar spot between the radials. The species was found at Chilian in Chile 

 by EnMONDs in March and on the road from Lolco to Lonquimay by Elwes in January. 



N. vesagus Dbl. (= ochreivittatus Btlr.). Above brown, forewing with a large red-yellow spot between rcsa</iis. 

 the radials. Hindw'ing unicolorous brown, or with 3 red-yellow spots between the median veins. Forewing 

 beneath rust-coloured with brown margins and a large, round black eye s})ot with 2 white pupils and red-yellow 

 iris. Hindwing brown with ochreous band across the middle. Chile. — pusilla FIdr. (Homoeonympha p. = iiiisiUn. 

 violaceus Btlr.) is a form of vesagus with a row of whitish yellow dots on the underside of the hindwing. Ac- 

 cording to EiAVES hoisduvalii Blanch. (51 c) and liahni Mah. probably belong here. 



N. reedii Btlr. (51 c). Above olive-brown with cupreous gloss and dark margin. Beneath the forewing /•««/;;. 

 is tawny orange, before the apex a small black eye-spot with white pupil and orange ring. Hindwing brown, 

 in the middle with a light violet-grey band, whicli is widened at the costal margin, distal margin striped with 

 brown, liasal part of the inner margin blackish. Fr<un Chile. — fuscescens Btlr. is a smaller form of reedii. the iKsrrxn-n^. 

 forewing beneatli smoke-brown, with a black dot instead of the eye-s[)ot. From J^a Union in Valdivia. 



N. humilis Fldr. (= Stygnus h.) (51 f). Above brown, without sjiots. Beneath lighter, forewing with Inaiiith. 

 2 small black, white-pupilled eye-spots between the radials and the 3rd median vein, hindwing with 4 whitish 

 yellow dots in the marginal area. Chile. Common in woods in A'aldivia accoiding to Edmonds, rare at Quillen 

 and at Lake Alumine according to Ei.wks. 



2(). (Iciiiis: ^'ooiiiacMiaK Wllgr. 



Antennae with spindle-shaped club. Talpus jjrojecting far beyond the head, beneath with long hairs. 

 Wings with the margins entire, hindwing jnundcd. In the forewing the costal and median are inflated at the 

 base. Differing from Ejnnephele chiefly in the absence of the scent-scale spot on the ^ forewing. 



N. servilia Wllgr. ($ = decorata Btlr.) (51c). Brown, forewing with a red-yellow band beyond the scn-itiii. 

 middle, the median area itself also somewhat dusted with red-yellow, a round black spot Itcfore the apex. Hind- 

 wing with narrow red-yellow submarginal stripe, which in the (J is broken up into spots. Beneath the forewing 

 is almost entirely red-yellow with large double eye-s])ot before the apex. On the hindwing the median band 

 is distally bordered with silver- white. Not rare at \'alparaiso and other parts of Chile in February and March. 



N. coenonymphina Btlr. is similar to Epin. pales above, but without the scent-scale spot. Forewing nirmmnni- 

 beneath brick-coloured with brown margins and an apical ocellus. Hindwing in the basal half dark brown, '''"""• 

 bounded by an angled yellow line, disc yellowish with a black, white-pu])illed eye-spot. Distal margin brown 

 with dark "dentate submarginal line. The V i« larger, the disc of both wings above ferruginous; on the under 

 surhice the eye-spot of the hindwing is a.bsent. Hare in Valparaiso. Dcccndiri' and Jaimary. 



N. fractifascia Btlr. Above brown with a red-yellow- sjxit in the middle of the forewing and a blaek jnwtildscia.
