PHANES. By Dr. M. Deaudt. 



acheloiis. E. achelous Plotz (= paria Plotz) (186 h). Above lustrous blackish-brown, not spotted, stigma 



of the same colour, very well developed; head and thorax with green hah-. Beneath the proximal margin of 

 the forewing is more whitish than in the preceding. Panama, Venezuela. 



umber. E. umber H.-Schaff. is above the same. Beneath lighter, proximal margin of forewing and anal 



angle whitish as well as a spot behind the cell, apex, costal margin and hindwing reddish. From Mnasinous 

 patage (177 g), which it resembles above, it is separated by the very well developed stigma. Panama. 



aseiiia. E. asema 2Iab. (186 h). The colouring above is more dull greyish-brown, the stigma of the same 



colour. Beneath lighter, on the hindwing scantily streAvn with ^vhitish ; behmd the cell there are 3 black dots. 

 Honduras, British Guiana. 

 subsordidus. E. subsordidus 2Iab. looks above like the preceding, but scantily strewn with j-ellowish and has thereby- 



a brownish effect. The hindwing is darker at the costal margin. The under sm'face is lighter, the forewing in 

 the costal half and the whole hindwing strewn with ochreous-yeUow, the margining of the eyes and palpi are 

 likewise ochreous-j^ellow. Honduras. 

 Uptosema. E. leptosema Mah. Blackish-brown with dark grey fringes, behind the black scent-spot there is a 



light 3'ellow part. The under surface is reddish, in the proximal half of the forewing blackish, in the middle 

 lighter j-ellowish-grey, the broadest below the median. Body black, the last abdominal ring ferruginous-brown. 

 Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Rio Grande. 

 phaetusa. E. phaetusa Hew. Above dark red-bro^'sn, on the forewing \^'ith 6 silvery- white, transparent spots: 



one in the cell, 3 postdiscal ones and 2 subapical ones, hindwing with 2 small spots behind the cell. Beneath 

 coloured the same, the lowest postdiscal spot is very much enlarged and united with that above it; the basal 

 half of the costal margin and the apex is striped ochreous-yellow ; the base of the hindwing is broad white, 

 marked with indistinct brown spots. Expanse of wings: 1^,2 inch. Ega. 



asiiga. E. astiga Schs. Above brown, forewing at the proximal margin darker; bet\\'een the median veins 



there is a small, olive-yellowish spot and farther distally above it another one. On the under sm'face the costal 

 margin of the forewing and the apex are broad, the distal margin narrowly olive-bro^na, the rest black. Hmdwing 

 olive-brown with a small, black spot between the median veins and another one between the lower radial veins 

 close at the cell-end, behind it some lighter diffuse spots. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Castro, Parana. 



E. candallariae Strand. Above blackish-brown, especially on the hmdwing with some yellowish hair. 

 Forewing with 2 whitish subapical and 2 postdiscal spots, the lower of which represents an angle being open 

 towards the margin. Beneath deeper black, the lowest spot yellowish, behind it a yellow inner-angular patch; 

 the hindwing with an almost rect angular Ij' broken lighter band before and a similar broader brownish-yellow 

 one behind the middle. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Costa Rica. 



E. petrovna Schs. is above dark brown, without markings, with greyish-brown fringes, beneath 

 scantily strewn with grey. This species is easily recognizable bj^ the somewhat different scent-spot : on both 

 sides of the lower median vein not sharplj^ defined stripes extend to about one fifth of the length of the vein, 

 and a black thickening along the submedian from the middle almo.st to the base. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. 

 Petropolis. 

 barnesi. E. barnesi Schs. Thorax with dark green hair; the dark brown wings are tinted olive. Forewing in 



the basal half of the proximal margin with some whitish hah : between the median veins there is a large, hyaline 

 white spot, a smaller one above it nearer at the distal margin, and a very small subapical one. Fringes of the 

 hindwing at the anal angle white; a white spot is behind the lower cell-angle, parted by the upper median vein 

 into a larger ujoper half and a small lower half. Beneath darker, apex of forewing dusted with lilac, before the 

 distal margin revj small dark spots. Hindwing lilac-brown with a dark basal shade and a broad oblique shade 

 from the apes to the dark proximal margin; before the distal margin there are small dark spots between the 

 veins. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Petropolis. 



sabtna. E. sabina Plotz (186 h). Above blackish-brown with 2 small, in the $ larger and quadrangular white 



postdiscal spots and 3 subapical dots. Fringes of the hindwing white, on the forewing smoky. Beneath the 

 species resembles a Cymaenes. Apex of the forewing, and hmdwmg light grey, in the 2 more yellowish-reddish 

 striated with red-browii, the most densely so at the costal margm and analwards with 3 dark, confluent spots 

 at the lower cell-end; the costal margin of the forewing is broad red-brown. Brazil (Novo Friburgo); 



candalla- 

 riae. 



petrovna. 



136. Genus: Phaiies G. d: S. 



Antennae somewhat longer, palpi as in the preceding. The q scent-spot is angular, the larger side along 

 the median between the veins, the shorter side along the lower median vein. 

 iugfinianus. Ph. justitlianus Lair, (aletes Hb7i.) (186 i). Above like Eutychide lycortas (186 h), beneath blackish- 



brown, the forewing analwards lighter. Disc of the hmdwing ochreous-j'ellow, bordered \>y dark spots, other-

 almoda. Ph. almoda Heic. (186 i). Above blackish-brown with 3 white postdiscal spots and 2 small subapical 



dots. Beneath the costal part and apex of the forewing is light lilac like the hindwing ; all the veins light j-ellowish
