 on the upper surface. 



E. leucocyana Hhn.-O. This common species from Ouiana and the Amazon forms the intermediary ininiri/niKi. 

 between the two preceding species: in the (^ the lower half of the hindwing is white, in the o aot. This form 

 differs from alector-:^ by its smaller size, more brownish forewings and by scarcely half of the hindwing beiiiu 

 white, not as in nlector the greatest pai't : tlie ''' resembles a leiicop'iaea-Q, but it is lighter b'-own. 



E. hemileuca B/if. Like the preceding, but with narrower wings, lighter greyish-brown, and only the hrmiliiicd. 

 lower part of the hindwing of the q white. The transition-area from brown to the white colour is tinged bluish. 

 It is said to occur beside leucocyana in Guiana ; it is presumably only a local deviation from the preceding. — 

 Stichel denominates another side-form from the Amazon epixanthe the hindwings of which are brown, like rp}.r,niHir. 

 the forewings marked in violet. 



E. aminias Hph-. (13sf, as alector). Immediately recognizable by the forewing and hindwing being ainiiiii/.i. 

 of the same design. A violet median band runs broadly through both the wings, being finely dotted and streaked 

 in black. We figure the species from Venezuela, in which the violet is somewhat clearer, the black spotting 

 of the median band somewhat scarcer than in the type from the .Amazon. — From this, 1 n the olhc hand, 

 the form figured as ..cateiiifera" ( 13S h) differs; it isdarker than the figure of aminias with Hew'itsox, the violet 

 colour very dim, the animal itself larger. The comparison with the type, however, resulted in these differences 

 being insignificant, for which reason the name chosen in the table {catenifeni) is lietter not introduced. l)ut 

 replaced by aminias. 



E. balista Ilr/r. (]42f). Dark-brown with black, sparse punctiform streaks and a lighter, lilack-dotted intlishi. 

 margin. Beneath greyish-brown, the dotting in the disc more copious, the dots in front of the border with lighter 

 I'ings around them. Upper Amazon. Ecua.dor. 



E. argiella But. is known to me only from the author's description: apparently exactly like the (iniirita. 

 preceding, also of the same size, but also above more copiously spotted; instead of the light. l)laek-dotted marginal 

 band, a series of light, dark-centred rings stands in front of the border. South Brazil. 



E. sejuncta Stich. Unknown to me; it is said to originate from Neu-Freyburg and \\\o, allied to hiibneri. ■•<ijiiii(l<t. 

 smaller, forewings relatively short ei\ J above greyish-brown, faintly tinged in a rusty red, towards the margin 

 lighter and redder, spotted like the allied species. Forewings beneath greyish-brown, the spots surrounded 

 by a light tinge, the median row only distally shaded in white: hindwings similarly spotted, the sjiots in the 

 median area jilaced together to a zigzag-line. 2 above somewhat lighter greyish-brow ri. the marking a^ in the 

 ^J, forewings beneath very much jjowdered with white. Fringes greyish-brown. 



E. malea Schn. is similar, but it differs by the hindwings of the ^ lieiiig white In the lowt'r ha.lf, and ma/iui. 

 by spots above, in the middle of the forewing, forming a dark nebulous band. Panama to Rio de .laiieiro.
