marginal lines, straight on the forewmg, undulate on the hindwing. On the hindwing 5 black ocelli with wliite 

 pupils and ochre-yellow rings, the 2nd and 3rd ocelli smaller. Sometimes in addition a very small eye-spot 

 in cellule lb close to the inner margin between the median lines. From the Mapiri. 



E. viridicans spec. nov. (47 b). Above olive-brown. Beneath much lighter in consequence of having viridicans. 

 both wings dotted \vith greenish gre3^ The dark brown median lines, the dentate submarginal and the 2 marginal 

 lines are as in the precediiig species. On the forewing a small eye-spot in cellule 6, black with white pupil and 

 yellow ring, an indistinct, still smaller ocellus in cellule 3. On the hindwing 5 distinct eye-spots, the 3rd 

 and ith small and brown, the others black with yellow rings and white pupils, the 3rd to 5th bi-pupilled. 37 mm. 

 From Peru. 



E. monahani Weeks. Above dark brown, margin somewhat lighter. Forewing beneath black-brown monahani. 

 with grey marginal line, brown submarginal lin.e and grey apex. Between the median veins (Weeks says: above 

 the lowest submedian nervule!) a black ej'e-spot with wliite pupil and light brown ring. Above it 2 small 

 white dots and before the apex a small j^ellow spot. Hindwing proximally black-brown, distally light brown 

 mixed with grey, the distal margin somewhat darker, marginal line gvey, a marginal and a submarginal line 

 brown. At the anal angle in cellule Ic a small j^ellow spot, in cellule 2 a yellow eye-spot with white pupil. From 

 the inner margin a dark brown line runs to the cell. Sometimes the eye-spots are indistinct and the distal margin 

 less grey. 35 mm. From Alezuni in Bolivia. August. 



E. therkelsoni Weeks. Above dark brown, distally somewhat lighter. Beneath the same, forewing therkelsoni. 

 with light brown marginal line, a dark brown, dentate marginal line and a 2nd similar transverse line behind 

 the middle. These lines are indistinct on the forewing, on the hindwing they are repeated, but are more distinct, 

 and join at the anal angle, and there is here an additional, indistinct line in the middle of the cell. Eye-spots 

 and dots are not mentioned in the original description of this species. 38 mm. From the environs of Coohabamba 

 in Bolivia. August. 



Ocypete Group. 



E. ocypete F. (47 b). Above brown with 2 somewhat darker median. bands, a double marginal and a den- ocypete. 

 tate submarginal Ime, in the anal angle of the hindwing a black eye-spot with double white pupil and yellow 

 ring. The eye-spot is sometimes absent. Beneath hght brownish grey with 3 broad brown stripes across both 

 wings, to which is added on the hindwing a short 4th stripe at the base. On the distal stripe on the forewing 

 1 or 2, on the hindwing 5 eye-spots, black with yellow ring and glossy white double pupils, only the 2nd 

 and 4th are brown. Surinam, Para. — helle Cr. (47 b), a form of ocypete, has on the upper surface dark blue- helle. 

 grey ground-colour with bluish gloss, black veins and 3 black marginal lines, between which the ground- 

 colour is somewhat Lighter. The black ej'e-spot at the anal angle of the hindwing with fine white double pupil. 

 The under surface is similar to that of ocypete. Ground-colour bluish white-grey with broad brown bands. On 

 the forewing 3 ocelli, one distinct and 2 obscure, hindwing with 5 eye-spots, all with double silver pupils and 

 yeUow iris, the 2nd and 5th black, the others brown. Surmam, Amazons (Iquitos). — lethra Mosclil., like- leihra. 

 wise a form of ocypete, is above brown ; on the underside of the hindwing the eye-spots in cellules 3 and 4 placed 

 more proximally, so that the proximal margins of the entire row of eye-spots form a straight line. The eye-spot 

 in ceUule 6 is considerably larger. Further in lethra the two transverse stripes of the hindwing run straight 

 into the inner margin., whilst in ocypete the outer of these stripes is curved basad at the inner margin, the 

 inner somewhat distad. From the interior of Surinam. 



E. myncea Cr. Above with a small eye-spot before the apex of the forewing and a similar one at the myncea. 

 anal angle of the hindwing. Beneath brownish grey, in the basal area of both wings 2 straight brown 

 stripes, which are both bent basad at the inner margin of the hindwing. On the dark brown discal band, 

 which is 3 — 4 mm in breadth, are placed on the forewing 3, on the hindwing 5 ocelli, all of nearly equal 

 size, measuring 2 — 2^4 mni in. diameter and standing in a straight row, all black with red-yellow ring and sil- 

 very blue double pupil. At the margin a brown submarginal stripe and 2 fine marginal lines. 43 mm. From 

 Surinam. 



E. thobici Capr. is placed by its a.uthor as a separate species near to myncea and the following differ- thobici. 

 ences are given. The two brown transverse stripes in the basal half of the under surface are curved and enclose 

 a band, which i.s somewhat darker than the rest of the ground-colour. Of the three large eye-spots on the fore- 

 wing of myncea the first is scarcely perceptible and the other 2 are almost entirely obsolete. Of the 5 eye-spots 

 of the hindwing the first, second and fifth are very distinct, the last-named somewhat larger, the other two 

 indi.stinct. All else as in myncea. 38 mm. From the province of Rio de Janeiro. 



E, nerita Caprr. Likewise placed by its author in. the myncea group, which species the wings resemble nerita. 

 above except that the brown is darker. In the median area the transverse lines of the under surface show through 

 and on the hindwing the ocellus at the anal angle is present. The under surface is much lighter, the two 

 transverse lines terminate suddenly at the inner m.argin. and are yellow-brown bordered with dark brown. The 

 submarginal line is lunulate and is likewise yellow-brown bordered with dark brown. 3 almost invisible eye- 

 spots on the forewing before the apex, on the other hand on the hindwing 6 distinct ones, the first two
