1866.] MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE GENUS EUPTYCHIA. 4/7 



This species may be allied to E. grimon ; but the central lines are 

 very dissimilar in form to those of that insect, they much more nearly 

 resemble those of the next species.

Ala supra olivaeeo-fuscee ; antica linea undulata submarginali valde 

 indistincta fusca, margine extremo nigro : postica puncto subunali 

 nigro ochreo cincto, lineis duabus marginalibus alteraque sub-

"About 1| inch in expanse. The upperside of the wings blackish 

 brown ; front wings without spots ; hind wings with six ocelli, the 

 second and fourth very large, the third double. These ocelli are 

 black, with a double silver pupil and yellow iris. 



" The underside of the front wings is orange, with the apex rosy- 

 grey, and marked by one or two small ocelli ; the underside of the 

 hind wings is grey mottled with brown, with the same ocelli as on 

 the opposite side ; there are besides on each wing three dark-ferru- 

 ginous distinctly waved lines — to wit, two near the base, and a third 

 near the outer margin, which is bordered by a black festooned line."

The Museum specimens of this species vary considerably in size, 

 the largest measuring IX inch in expanse of wings, whilst the 

 smallest only measures 1 g inch. We have only one specimen that 

 has no spots in the front wings on the upperside ; all the others have 

 one distinct subapical ocellus.
