NEW SPECIES OE THE GENUS EUPTTCHIA. 127 



dark-brown marginal line ; primaries with three small discal ocelli, 

 the uppermost one with yellow iris, the ceiitral one smallest and in- 

 distinct ; secondaries with five ocelli, the first smallest, the first two 

 and the last with yellow irides and white pupils, the last two with two 

 pupils : body below bluish : expanse of wings 1 inch 7 lines.

This species, although nearly allied to E. aegrota from the Lower 

 Amazons, seems to be distinct ; it is altogether less heavily marked, 

 with the ocelli below smaller and less pronounced. 



E. TELESPHOKA, U. Sp. (PL XIT. fig. 1.) 



Wings above olive-bi'own, slightly darker towards the outer margins, 

 primaries with an ill-defined darker submarginal line ; secondaries 

 with a greyish discal nebula enclosing an ill-defined dusky spot near 

 anal angle ; two submarginal lines and the fringe black-brown : wings 

 below much like those of E. pagyris, but the wings narrower, outer 

 band of primaries much less strongly arched ; area enclosed by the 

 central bands of secondaries white to the origin of the radial nervure ; 

 outer band strongly angulated, the angle being formed at the apex of 

 the discoidal cell ; outer margin of the yellow discal area much more 

 irregular; silver spots narrower, the second from costa forming a small 

 black ocelloid spot ; the black patch on first median interspace double 

 the width, with one large quadi*ate silver pupil ; subanal silver spots 

 placed obliquely to each other : expanse of wings 1 inch 8 lines. 



Hob. ? (Sommer's collection). In coll. Dr. O, Staudinger. 



It is possible that this may be Stoll's E. clorimena ; but the 

 figure of that species is so very poor, that not knowing the 

 habitat of E. telespJiora I cannot consider it identical with E. 

 clorimena. 



E. HYGINA, n. sp. (PI. XII. fig. 6.) 



Wings above pale olive-brown ; primaries with submarginal lines dimly 

 visible through the wing ; secondaries with a large pale buff' discal 

 patch, round which is a series of five blackish spots, the three smaller 

 ones forming a triangle at its upper extremity, the two larger ones 

 submarginal, upon the median interspaces ; two zigzag submarginal 

 blackish lines coalescing towards apex ; outer border pale ; margin 

 brown : body greyish : wings below paler than above, whitish brown, 

 markings of primaries almost as in the preceding species, but of a 

 lighter ferruginous brown colour; secondaries with two central par- 

 allel lines, the outer one irregular, deeply excised where it crosses 

 the cell, and widened by a tapering slightly paler ferruginous border 

 below it ; discal area whitish, as usual, with the ochreous area brightly 

 coloured, and spotted with silver as follows — two small spots close 

 together near apex, four larger spots forming a diamond-shaped figure
