E. lefebvrei &'Mlr. (= montrolii i^e*.s//*.) (52 b). Above brown with a red-brown subniarginal band which kfehrrei. 

 is .strongly constricted in places and on the forewing interrupted by the brown veins. Before the apex of the 

 forewing are placed on this band some ochreous longitudinal rays and 2 dark brown spots. There are sometimes 

 also a small brown spot in cellule 2 and a brown spot in the same cellule of the hindwing. The basal and 

 median areas are strongly dusted with red-brown. On the under surface the forewing is rust-brown to the sul)- 

 marginal band, the band ochre-yellow, anteriorly white, the 3 dark spots black with white pupils. The distal margin 

 is l)rowu. Across the middle of the hindwing runs a dentate dark brown band, basally blurred, distally as a 

 rule shaiply defined. Tlien follows a grey-white subnuirginal band sprinkled with brown and then the dark 

 brown distal margin. The + is considerably larger, having an expanse of 7(» mm. The basal half of both 

 wings is almost entirely red-brown, the anterior dark spot has a white centre and the under surface is lighter 

 than in the J. — The larva is light brown with black longitudinal lines. Head large, with 2 black lines and a 

 light spiracular line, bordered with black beneath; the dorsum is somewhat darker brown, the anal extremity 

 with 2 points. It is full-grown in October and lives on "Coligne" (Chusquea sp. ?). The pupa is light brown 

 with some black streaks and spots. The butterfly appears in Novendier and December and is locally common 

 in Chile, but more in the plains than in the mountains. It occurs also in Argentina and Uruguay. 



E. vanessoides Blanch. (52 b). Similar to the preceding species, but somewhat smaller. The hindwing ranessoides. 

 is elongate and less dentate. The band is lighter and the dark brown spots in cellule 2 are absent on both 

 wings above and on the forewing beneath. The dark brown spots before the apex of the forewing have no white 

 pu]>ils on either surface. Hindwing marbled with light and dark brown, crossed by a curved white stripe, inter- 

 rupted on vein 5. Beyond this a submarginal band, which is somewhat lighter than the ground-colour and 

 bears in cellule 2 a dark brown spot with red-yellow ring. From Valdivia in ("bile, where it is not rare. 



E. calvertii Elir. A small species \\\t\\ the distal margin of the forewing straight. The (^ above dark lalvcrlii. 

 brown, with 2 small, obscure red-brown submarginal spots in cellules 2 and 3 on both wings. Beneath the 

 forewing is brown, at the base dark red-yellow to the middle, with a broad, straight red-yellow subniarginal 

 band, in which is placed before the apex a round black spot with ochre-yellow ring. The hindwing is marbled 

 with light and dark brown, with a large white spot at the apex, strongly sprinkled with brown ; a row of 

 white dots is placed before the distal margin. The $ shows an increase in the number of the red-brown spots 

 on the upper surface, on the forewing brown dots are placed in these spots and the eye-spot of the under surface 

 shows through above. On the underside of the hindwing the white spot at the apex forms the beginning of 

 an ochre-yellow band, irrorated with brown, which is continued to the inner auirgin. The distal margin of the 

 hindwing is only slightly undulate in the $. The ,^ has on the upperside of the hindwing a spot of velvety 

 scales. Not rare in a wood below the llanos of Chilian in Chile, in December. Also found at Lake Quillen in 

 Argentina (Eiaves). 



E. nemyrioides Blanch. (= nemyroides Seed, neomyrioides EIw.) (52 b). The distal margin of the fore- nemi/rhi- 

 wing before the apex produced into an obtuse angle, in the (^ somewhat more than in the V- Otherwise *'•'*• 

 very similar to the preceding species; the (J has the same spot of velvety dark brown scales in the middle 

 of the forewing. Beyond this spot the ground-colour is strongly mixed with red-brown. The under surface, 

 which is here figured, is very similarly marked to that of calvertii, but the white spot at the costal margin of the 

 hindwing is purer white in nemyrioides and is continued as a dentate white line to the inner angle. In the ^ 

 the red-brown band on the underside of the forewing occurs also on the upperside in the same breadth and 

 encloses here likewise a round black apical spot. The hindwing in the ? has on the upper surface a submarginal 

 row of small red-yellow spots and on the under surface the white spot at the costal margin is much larger. 

 From Chile, at the Baths of Chilian and in Valdivia (according to Edmonds), at San Ignacio and Port Blest 

 (according to Elwes). Not common in the C;'ntral Provinces, but less rare in Valdivia (Reed). Flies January 

 to March.

The shape of the wings is about the same as in Elina, the distal margin of the forewing is undulate 

 and has below the apex an ol)tuse angle, that of the hindwing is dentate, but the iinier margin of the latter is 

 not excised. Only the costal of the forewing is inflated, the other veins are normal. In the 9 - oi the subcostal 

 veins of the forewing arise before the end of the cell, the rest behind it: in the j on the other hand only one 

 before the end of the cell, whilst the 2nd arises exactly at the angle. The butterflies inhabit South Brazil. 



E. tisiphone Bdv. (Euterpe t.) (52 a). Above dark brown with a row of yellowish white spots across iislphone. 

 both wings, covering the greater part of the hindwing, but on the forewing mostly obsolescent in the J. Single 

 (JcJ have the forewing above entirely black-brown. On the under surface the ground-colour is lighter, the veins 

 black, and between tliem are placed black longitudinal rays and short white hmgitudinal streaks. The macular 

 band is pure white and in the J also extends to the costal margin of the forewing. The spots are individually 

 smaller, but their number is larger in both sexes than above. The butterfly is distributed in Scmth Brazil
