236 EPTNEPHELE. By G. Weymer. 



spot in a short red-yellow band before the apex. Hindwing likewise with a short band in which is placed at 

 the anal angle a black spot. Beneath the hindwing is brick-coloured with a brown, dark-margined band, which 

 in the middle is angled and broadly interrupted. In the marginal area 2 black spots at the apex and 2 between 

 the median veins. Rare in the woods near the Baths of Chilian in Chile. 



tmllen- N. wallengrenii Btlr. Dark brown, with black apical spot. Forewing beneath yellow-brown with light 



(jrenii. ypHoyy Ijand and black, white-pupilled eye-spot before the apex. The posterior two-thirds of tiie hindwing 



are smoke-brown, divided by a reddish yellow band. Disc lighter, with white veins, distal margin brown. In 



woods below Chilian in Chile. 



huirniiUi. N. inomata Elw. Dark brown, with a reddish tinge towards the base of both wings, and in the V with' 



a large black-brown spot before the apex of the forewing in an indistinct red-ln-own ring. On the under sur- 

 face the forewing is lirownish red-yellow with the costal and distal margins yellow-l)rown. Before the apex 

 a double eye-spot in a yellow ring. Hindwing unicolorous yellow-brown. In the Banos de Cauquenes in Chile, 

 in March. 



cihiiondsii. N. edmondsii JUIr. (Argyrophenga e.). Above glossy dark brown. Forewing rust-red in the cell, a black 



spot before the apex. Disc of the hindwing for the most part light rust-coloured with ."5 pear-shaped Itlack streaks. 

 On the under surface the forewing is brick-coloured orange with the distal margin grey-brown, before the apex 

 a black ocellus in a yellow ring. Hindwing olive-brown, with a broad sulphur-yellow longitudinal stripe extend- 

 ing from the base across the cell to the distal margin, (i abbreviated yellow longitudinal stripes are placed 

 on the veins, 2 before and 4 behind the first-mentioned stripe. The costal margin is likewise yellowish, the 

 inner and distal margins grey. Rare, only 1 example in the British Museum, which was taken by Edmonds 

 in the woods below Chilian in Chile. 



reticulaUi. N, reticulata Weym. (51 c). Above brown. Forewing with 3 small red-yellow spots in cellules 2, 4 and 5 



and four white dots before them in a row. On the hindwing a red-yellow band composed of 5 spots, some of 

 which bear a black dot. The last spot at the inner margin has 2 dots. Both wings with white marginal line 

 interrupted at the veins. Fringes brown. As may be seen from the figure the under surface is very characteris- 

 tically marked. Locality luiknown, probably South America. Coll. Weymer. 



tenedUi. N. tenedla Weyiti. (51 c). Above brown. On the forewing a large red-yellow spot covers the cell. A 



large black spot in an ochre-yellow ring is placed before the apex, sometimes showing 2 white ])upils, a small 

 ochre-yellow spot with black central dot in cellule 2, and some red-yellow dots beside it. The hindwing with 

 a short red-yellow band in cellules 4 to 6. On the under surface the basal half of the forewing is entirely red- 

 yellow, the black spot before the apex has 2 white pujnls, its distal margin is brownish grey, and the entire 

 hindwing is of this latter colour. From South Brazil. 



27. Cioiius: l^^piiicpliele Him. 



The anteinia has an elongate, gradually thickened club. The costal and median of the forewing arc 

 strongly inflated and 2 subcostal veins ari.se before the end of the cell. The inner margin of the hindwing is 

 more or less excised before the angle and in most species more elongated. The ^^^ have a stripe of scent-scales 

 on the forewing. Most of the species of this genus belong to the Palearctic fauna. Cf. vol. I, p. 137 — 142, pi. 40, 47. 

 Some occur in India. Cf. for these Maniola, vol. IX, p. 306. The American species only inhabit Chile and the 

 adjoining districts. 



liiiioniiis. E. limonias Phil. (= janiroides Blanch, [nee H.-Srhdff.], blanchardii Kirhij) (51 c). Above brown. 



Forewing with rust-red central area, which in the t? is divided by the dark In'own scent-scale spot. In the $ 

 the colouring is more red-yellow and a black apical spot is present. The under surface is lighter with distinct 

 apical ocellus. Distributed and common in Chile. As the name janiroides had l)een already employed by 

 Herrich-Schaffer for an Epinephele from Algiers it cannot be used for this Chilian species, and hence Kirby 

 chose the name blanchardii. But as the description of livionias Phil, agrees with this species the latter name 

 d/-i/((.s. must be restored. — dryas Fldr. (51 c), the figure of wdiich is from Fblder's type in the Tring Museum, differs 

 but little from limonia.s. From Chile. 



edmondtiii. E. edmondsli Btlr. Above glossy brown. Forewing with the base and a band l)efore the distal margin 



red-yellow, a row of 6 grey-brown spots across the midflle and a black spot before the apex. Hindwing with 

 red-yellow spot before the costal margin. On the inider surface the forewdng is red-yellow with grey, black- 

 streaked margins and bi-pupilled apical ocellus. Hindwing beneath grey-brown, finely striated with black, 

 with a somewhat darker median band di.stally margined with black, beside which arc placed at the costal margin 

 some white scales. From Chilian on the slopes of the Cordilleras (Chile). Rare. 



viiinnchiiK. E, monaclius Blanch. (= valdiviae Fldr., lugubris Btlr.. luctuosus Reed) (51 d). Abo\c unicolorous 



Ijrown, with the fringes chequei-ed with brown and white and an indistinct black spot Ix'fore the a]>cx of the 

 forewing. Beneath the forewing is for the most part reddish brown, with a blind eye-spot, the hindwing brown,
