of the forewing somewhat shorter, the under surface with a less deeply dentate median line and less red at 

 the border, the forehead whitish, and so on. The $ like the ^. 



E. mirania Bates from Teffe entirely resembles eumedia, somewhat smaller; the transverse line mirania. 

 beneath, however, is orange, shaded inside in yellow, outside in darlv. 



E. artos H.-Schaff. (122 a) of which I only know the ^ which has a silvery -white forehead and a ados. 

 large orange-yellow or red spot in the anal part of the hindwing; this spot sometimes (in Bolivia) extends much 

 farther than in our figure depicted according to an Amazon-specimen. This red spot is probably of a different 

 shape at every habitat, the colour being also sometimes miniate (Rio Songo, Bolivia), sometimes more orange 

 (Surinam) or bright red (Amazon). Under surface more grey than in eumedia. 



E. pelor Heio. (122 e). Beneath almost exactly like in eumedia and artos. above, however, with a pelor. 

 bright, steel-blue gloss. Variable; the gloss may incline to violet and to green, it may cover the whole forewing 

 or also leave the apes black; the hindwings may be much deeper dentate, even long-stretched, in the latter 

 case the forewings are also more pointed. Amazon; rare. 



E. euboea Hew. (122 e). On both surfaces resembling pelor; the blue gloss is brighter, leaving the border euhoea. 

 of the forewing broad black, from which it is sharply defined. The hindwings are sometimes more dentate 

 (Bolivia, Amazon), sometimes more rounded. Guiana to Bolivia; common. 



E. mazaca Hew. (122 d as mazaea). Under surface similar to those of the preceding species, but its mazaca. 

 eoloLu: more grey, the median line brown, not red; the white margins of the dots at the border almost coherent. 

 Quite different is the upper surface showing on each wing a large red area of the extent and shape of the blue 

 euboea. Before me only from Pebas. 



E. pusilla Fldr. (122 d). Above the disc of the forewing exhibits a light-red spot being in the q ymUla. 

 cuneiform, in the $ oval. In the ^ the hindwing has another red wedge-ray similar to E. hieronymi iljing at 

 the same place. Under surface silvery white with a regular, yelloAV median line. Mexico, not common. 



E. authe Godin. (= emma Sigr. i. I.) (121 g, h). Above dark brown, all the wings with red-brown authe. 

 or yellomsh-brown patches covering sometimes only the middle of the disc, sometimes almost the whole ^ring. 

 This auburn colour is bright in both sexes ; at some places there occm' specimens where it is replaced by light 

 ocbre-yellow (ab. flava ah. nov.). Easily recognizable by the under surface being greyish-brown, in the distal flava. 

 half of the hindwings and beyond the transverse line of the forewings white. It is said to come from ,, Brazil"; 

 I only know it from Bolivia and Peru where the species is not rare and was collected especially by Fassl (Rio 

 Songo) and by Garlepp (Yungas). It may be only the southern form of the following species.

 areas of the wings. Beneath marked like in authe, but without the whitish brightness behind the median line. 

 Typical eubule exhibit in the disc of the forewing 3 light small spots placed in a triangle. There occms, however, 

 also a form which is twice as large in Mexico and lacking these small spots. Mexico to Costa Rica; rare. 



E. onorata Heiv. from Ecuador has the size and marking of a la^ge eubule, but the upper surface has, onoraia. 

 instead of a dull brown ground-colour, a fiery fox-coloured one passing over into light-orange before the 

 apical part of the forewing. Beneath the forewings are brightened in the disc and the hindwings in the whole 

 distal half by silvery grey, like in authe, but even stronger. 



E. leucorrhoea G. and S. (= leucorrhoea Meyigel) (122 b). Above exactly like the large form of eubule, leucorrhoea. 

 without the light dots; also beneath very similar to it, but the median line on the forewing straight, not broken 

 nor curved, but slightly bent at most. Costa Rica, Colombia and Bolivia. The anal half of the hindwing is 

 more or less brightened by a silvery hue. It differs from the very similar eucrates by the narrower, dark margin 

 of the wings and the somewhat brighter red of the upper surface. The under surface is duller, and the tongue- 

 shaped bow formed by the postmedian transverse line before the inner marginal fold, does not project so far. 



E. eucrates Heiu. (122 f). Replaces the eubule in Ecuador. On the upper surface sometimes brighter, eucrates. 

 sometimes duller red, from the middle of the border of the hindwing mostly a black Avedge projects with its 

 point to the middle of the wing. Beneath the transverse line above the anal angle is not so verj^ sinuate, the 

 marginal dots of the hindwing are uniformly developed, without a distinct eye-spot before the middle of the 

 border, and their row is continued also on the forewing, where they are absent altogether in leucorrhoea and 

 eubule. 



E. eucerus Hew. resembles the preceding species, but the ^ is above brighter red; the under surface eueerus. 

 is more irregularly marked, the postdiscal transverse line dissolved into minute spots and the colouring of 

 the hindwings itself very much brightened. South Brazil, single but not rare.
