bordered with black; on the forewing a black wedge in the cell, an oblique band and submedian stripe: 9 
more gaudily coloured, almost like a very bright edias, especially on the under surface, which is also that 
of procula. Widely distributed and common in Brazil, but difficult to recognize among the innumerable Ac- 
tinote flying about in July at Rio de Janeiro. The 2 resembles these so much that, although flying slowly, 
it cannot be distinguished, until one sees the under surface. The flight of the g is more rapid; it generally 
associates with the very similar Dione juno (S84e), Megalura petraeus, the numerous Hresia etc. — ab. pallens pallens. 
Stich. refers to a 2 form with whitish- ochreous ground-colour and broader and heavier black markings. — 
vialis Sétch. (79f) is the northern form of Colombia and Central America. Ground-colour more brillant ful- vialis. 
vous, on the forewings the spots brighter yellow and deeper black. — vicinalis Stich., based upon a 2 from vicinalis. 
Ecuador, with duller ground-colour and reduced spots. — unifasciatus Sizch. (79 f) has the entire apical half of unifasciatus. 
the forewing and the termen of the hindwings broadly black. From the Upper Amazon. 
E. pavana Mén. (= thyana Fldr.) (79 e) resembles Actinote pellenea even more closely than vibilia Q; pavana. 
differing from it only in the intranerval rays encroaching upon the yellow-brown ground-colour of the hind- 
wings, which peculiarity it also shares with ae Actinote $3. 2 coloured and aagsalaadl like the 3, but larger.

E, lineata Salv. and Godm. (79 f). Almost precisely like vibilia 3, but without the oblique bar cros- lineata.

of Colaenis and Dione. — In the form libitina Stgr. from French Guiana the submedian stripe does not reach libitina.

E. lybia F. (— hypsiphile Cr., cinereomaculatus Goeze, fasciatus Goeze (80 a). Like Kineata, but the black lybia. 
terminal border of the hindwings narrower, not frayed out inwardly. Common anywhere from Guayana and 
Amazonas throughout the eastern part of South America as far as southern Brazil. Generally met with on 
flowering shrubs, in the company of numerous species resembling it, such as Colaenis julia (84b), Dione juno (84e), 
Eresia philyra (91 c). — lybyoides Sigr. (80 a) has the apical spot which is separated by the subapical band, lybyoides. 
paler than the ground-colour; on the under surface the forewing lacks the red basal line, and the red dots on 
the hindwing are absent. — olympia F. (= leucomma Bates) (80a) has the apical spot quite white on a olympia. 
black ground. Central America and Colombia, together with the Nymphalid Hresia emerantia (91 d) which it Za 
exactly resembles. 
E. tales Cr. (= thalestris Godt.) (80b). Forewing red-brown at the base, traversed by black veins; tales. 
some bone-coloured discal spots surrounding the apex of the cell which is black. Hindwing with veins red in 
the basal half. Found in Guayana with its counterpart Hel. vesta (erilo); also in Amazonas. — At the mouth 
of the Amazon we find pythagoras Ky. (= heraldicus Stich.), distinguished by the stronger yellow markings pythagoras.

are brighter. From Para to Santarem.— In calathus Stich. the discal spots on the forewing are united into a, calathus. 
semi-band, the lower end of which points towards the base, not outwards as in Hu. eanes. — surdus Stich. surdus. 
(80 b). Rather larger, the red colour of the forewings much more intense, vermillion or almost purplish red, 
on the hindwings reduced to a mere trace at the very base. From Obidos on the Amazon and from Guayana.. 
ab. aquilifer Stich. represents a transition to the preceding; the yellow spots on the forewing larger, but the aquilifer. 
red colour of the hindwings diminished. Likewise from Obidos. 
E. heliconioides Fldr. (= cognata Weym.) (80 b). Forewing with a large, bone-yellow discal spot enclosing heliconioides. 
the rather small black spot es the end of the cell; at the base only a few rays of red. Underneath the 
veins partially red; hindwing with 2 terminal rows of white dots. Colombia and Ecuador. — In xenophanes zenophanes. 
Fldr. from Colombia the forewing lacks the yellow spot in the cell, and of the red basal rays but a few traces 
are left. 
E. eanes. All the forms belonging to this species have on the under surface of the hindwings the veins 
red, but only one row of silvery-white terminal spots, not two. The typical form eanes Hew. (80 c) has on the canes. 
upper surface the basal streaks minium-red, and in the discus a pale yellow transverse band. From Peru and 
Bolivia, where it flies together with Hel. vesta, which it resembles so exactly that they cannot be distinguished 
when flying. — In ab. farragosa Stich. from Peru the basal red is diminished; — in riffarthi Stich., like- farragosa. 
wise from Peru, also from Bolivia, the basal area shows no red at all and the yellow discal band is broken riffarthe.

is added a spot at the apex of the cell, marking a sort of yellow star, as in heliconioides. It mimics exactly 
certain forms of Hel. aglaope, with which it associates in Bolivia and Peru. — In aides Stich. (80 c), from Bolivia, aides. 
and Peru, all the red colour has disappeared from the upper surface. Flies in Bolivia with its double Hel. pluto. — 
Also of this species we know a form pluto Stich. (80), of which we figure the type. Differs from aides in the pluto.
