 large orange-yellow or red spot in the anal part of the hindwing; this spot sometimes (in Bolivia) extends mucii 

 farther than in our figure depicted according to an Amazon-specimen. This red spot is probably of a different 

 shape at every habitat, the colour being also sometimes miniate (Rio Songo, Bolivia), sometimes more orange 

 (Surinam) or bright red (Amazon). Under surface more grey than in eumedia. 



E. pelor Hew. (122 e). Beneath almost exactly like in eiunedia and urtos, above, however, with a pchtr. 

 bright, steel-blue gloss. Variable; the gloss may incline to violet and to green, it may cover the wliole forewing 

 or also leave the apex black; the hindwings may be much deejier dentate, even long-stretched, in the latter 

 case the forewings are also more pointed. Amazon; lare. 



E. euboea Hetr. (122 e). On both sui'faces resembling pelor; the blue gloss is brighter, leaving the border niimea. 

 of the forewing broad black, from which it is sharply defined. The hindwings are sometimes more dentate 

 (Bolivia, Amazon), sometimes more rounded. Guiana to Bolivia; common. 



E. niazaca Hew. (122d as mazaea). Under surface similar to those of the preceding species, but its inazara. 

 ct)lour more grey, the median line brown, not red; the white margins of the dots at the border almost coherent. 

 Quite different is the upper surface showing on each wing a large red area of the extent and siiape of the blue 

 euboea. Before me only from Pebas. 



E. pusilla FIdr. (122d). Above the disc of the forewing exhibits a light-red spot being in the q i>iisill((. 

 cuneiform, in the $ oval. In the o the hindwing has another red wedge-ray similar to E. hieronymi flying at 

 the same place. Under surface silvery white with a regular, yellow median line. Mexico, not common. 



E. authe Godm. (= emma Sigr. i. I.) (121 g, h). Above derk brown, all the wings with red-brown imiltc. 

 or yellowish-brown patches covering sometimes only the middle of the disc, sometimes almost the whole wing. 

 This auburn colour is bright in both sexes; at some places there occur specimens where it is replaced by light

 half of the hindwings and beyond the transverse line of the forewings white. It is said to come from ,, Brazil": 

 I only know it from Bolivia and Peru where the species is not rare and was collected especially by Fassl (Rio 

 Songo) and by Ctarlepp (Yungas). It may be only the southern form of the folloAving .species.

 areas of tlie wings. Beneath marked like in authe, but without the whitish brightness behind the median line. 

 Typical eubule exhibit in the disc of the forewing 3 light small spots placed in a triangle. There occuis, however, 

 also a form which is twice as la^-ge in Mexico and lackitig these small spots. Mexico to Costa Rica; rare. 



E. onorata Hew. from Ecuador has the size and marking of a la^ge eubule, l)ut the upper surface has, oHomia. 

 instead of a dull brown ground-colour, a fiery fox-coloured one passing over into light-orange before the 

 a2:)ical pait of the forewing. Beneath the forewings are brightened in the disc and the hindw ings in the whole 

 distal half by silvery grey, like in authe. but even stronger. 



E. leucorrhoea G. and *S'. (= leucorrhoea Mengel) (122 b). Above exactlv like the large form of eubule. Iincorrhoai. 

 without the light dots; also beneath very similar to it, but the median line on the forewing straight, not broken 

 nor curved, but slightly bent at most, t'osta Rica, Colombia and Bolivia. The anal half of the hindwing is 

 mcn-e or less brightened by a silvery hue. It differs from the very similar eucrates by the narrower, dark mwgin 

 of tlie wings and the somewhat brighter red of the upper surface. The under surface is duller, and the tongue- 

 shaped bow formed by the postmedian transverse line before the inner marginal fold, tloes not project so fai-. 



E. eucrates Hew. il22f). Replaces the eubule in Ecuador. On the upper surface sometimes brighter, eurrofes. 

 sometimes duller red. from the middle of the border of the hindwing mostly a black wedge projects with its 

 point to the middle of the wing. Beneath the transverse line above the anal angle is not so very sinuate, the 

 marginal dots of the hindwing are uniformly developed, without a distinct eye-spot before the middle of the 

 border, and their row is continued also on the forewing, where they are absent altogether in leucorrhoea and 

 eubule. 



E. eucerus Hew. reseml)les the preceding species, but the o •'^ ab(}ve brighter red; the under sm'face nuvru.t. 

 is more irregularly marked, the postdiscal transverse line dissolved into minute sjjots and the colouring of 

 the hindwings itself very nuich brightened. South Brazil, single but not rare.
