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. 



Hah. Pozzuzo, East Peru {Pearce). 



Ohs. Near Eunica carta, 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. 



(J . Exp. 2*90 in. Antennfe black, with a row of white 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 wings brown, with a purple 

 gloss towards the base, and an indistinct dark submarginal 

 line sm*rounding 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 which are 

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

 the first section of the subcostal to the costal nervure. 



Hab. Valley of the Cosnipata, East Peru {H. Whitely). 



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

 the anterior wings, and the posterior wings are less produced 

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

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

 confusedvjand indistinct.
