across the cell, and a black patch about the origin of the first 

 median branch, two small spots and some irregular whitish 

 marks near the apex of the wing : posterior wings rich brown, 

 mingled here and there with a rufescent tinge ; two small 

 ocelli are placed between the radials, surrounded by a common 

 ring ; a dark curved line nearly touches this ring from the 

 costa, and goes as far as the third branch of the submedian 

 nervure, and thence to the inner margin by a series of 

 waves ; another curved line extends from the costal to the 

 subcostal, and two dark marks cross the cell ; near the anal 

 angle and outer margin are three indistinct lunules ; a waved 

 line follows the outer margin. 



Ilab, Pozzuzo, East Peru (Pcarce). 



Obs. Near Eunica caria^ Hew., but the anterior wings are 

 much darker and the blue more diffused : beneath the markings 

 are quite similar, but the light markings at the apical angle 

 of the anterior wings are more numerous and extend further 

 along the costa. 



21. Eunica hrunnea. 



^ . Exp. 2 "90 in. Antennai black, with a row of wdiite spots 

 beneath ; palpi brownish white, the third joint black above ; 

 head black ; prothorax brown ; thorax and abdomen black : 

 anterior wings elongate, the outer margin concave, brown, 

 purple at the base ; the apical portion of the wing is paler, 

 crossed by a dark band running from the costa to the middle 

 of the outer margin : posterior wdngs brown, w^itli a purple 

 gloss towards the base, and an indistinct dark submarginal 

 line surrounding the outer margin : beneath paler brown, the 

 dark band of the upper surface more prominent ; there is 

 also a dark band beyond the cell extending to the posterior 

 angle : posterior wings beneath with a bipupillate ocellus ex- 

 tending from the subcostal to the lower radial nervule ; two 

 other ocelli between the branches of the median nervules, that 

 nearer the anal angle the larger; a dark submarginal line 

 surrounds the outer margin ; another line extends in a curve 

 from the costal nervure downwards to the third branch of the 

 median, and thence direct to the inner margin by a series of 

 lunate marks ; a curved line closes the cell, within wliich are 

 a pair of small spots ; a dark line also curves upwards from 

 the first section of the subcostal to the costal nervure. 



Hah. Valley of the Cosnipata, East Peru (//. Whitehj). 



Obs. Allied to Eunica caralis, Hew., but has less blue on 

 the anterior wings, and the posterior wings arc less produced 

 at the anal angle : beneath, the markings of the posterior 

 wings are quite different, <and arc well defined instead of being 

 confused and indistinct.
