Nearly allied to E. venusta ; but the wings above of a 

 foxy rust-red colour, the inner discal line thick, well- 

 defined, and red-brown on all the wings ; the outer line 

 of primaries obsolete, but on the secondaries better 

 defined than in E. vennsta ; the white ocellus of primaries 

 larger, and touching the inner discal line ; the small 

 blackish spot at end of cell of secondaries obsolete, the 

 costal half of secondaries flesh-tinted instead of pale 

 yellow ; the primaries much more falcate, and the 

 secondaries with longer tail ; the body above decidedly 

 redder ; the under surface differing also as above. Ex- 

 panse of wings, 2 inches 11 lines. 



Coral, in March. 



"A male specimen will be found in the collection, 

 rather larger and redder than the others (E. reniista), 

 and with the transverse line on the fore wings touching 

 the spot ; this specimen was taken in Valdivia, and is 

 the only one I have seen, so cannot say whether it is a 

 distinct species or only a variety."* — T. E.
