the front-wings) placed wider apart and scarcely divergent ; the undulated sub- 

 marginal line, and the obscurity of the ocelli, which are also more uniform in size. 



Expanse of wings, 1 inch, 9 lines.

4. Eupttchia Maimothste, n. sp., pi. 1, fig. 4. 



Wings above dark olive-brown ; hind-wings with a black sub-marginal line 

 from the third median branch to the anal angle : below paler with two sub-marginal 

 blackish lines (the inner one undulated) ; margin and fringe dark brown : front- 

 wings irrorated with ochreous scales ; two central, transverse, dark brown bands 

 (the outer one oblique), and a disco-cellular striola of the same colour ; five discal 

 ocelli with ochreous irides, the two uppermost black, the rest brown, the first and 

 third slightly smaller than the others, and blind, the remainder with minute white 

 pupils : hind-wings with two somewhat irregular parallel dark brown central 

 bands; six large discal ocelli with yellow irides, the fourth brown, the rest black, 

 the first and fourth with bluish, the others with silvery pupils, the second and fifth 

 considerably larger than the others. Expanse of wings, 1 inch, 7| lines.

This species, though belonging to the most variable group of the 

 genus, seems to me to be distinct ; it differs from all its allies in the 

 broader bands of the under-surface, which in the front-wings are more 

 regular, and diverge more towards the costa than in the other species ; 

 the ocelli, also, are very distinct, and, in the hind-wiugs, are so large, 

 that they encroach upon the sub-marginal line. 



The regularity of the hind-wing bands in the Hermes group proves 

 to be a variable character, so that I am inclined to believe that two 

 species, hitherto regarded as distinct from others, will have to be sunk, 

 viz., E. Sosybius, Fabr., as a variety of E. Hermes, Eabr., and E. 

 Atalanta, Butl. of E. fallacc, Eeld.

Allied to E. Saturnus, but differing on the under-surface in the 

 absence of any white colouring in the front-wings, and the much 

 greater restriction of the white in the hind-wings ; also in tbe entirely 

 different relative position of the central lines.

A very remarkable species of the Quantius group : in the moss- 

 like spots upon the under-surface, and in the strongly angulated form 

 of the front-wings, unlike any other Ewptychia.
