and the fifth large, the others small, the sixth ^^■ithout pupil. 37 mm. Province of Rio de Janeiro. This spe- 

 cies appears to belong to quite another group. 



lobe. E. labe Btlr. Above brown, the fore^^iug with round black spot before the apex, liindwmg with black, 



red-yellow-ringed eye-spot with double silvery pupil, two brown marginal lines and a somewhat widened, 

 imdulate submargiiial Une. Beneath brownish wliite, 2 straight red-brown stripes across both wmgs, in the 

 disc of the forewing a large reddish yellow spot, before the apex a black ocellus with red-yellow border and double 

 silver}^ pupil, on the hindwmg 5 eye-spots, of ^\hich 2 are larger and like the one on the forewing, the others 

 smaller and brown mstead of black. The submarginal line is double and close to the anal angle of the 

 hindwing runs out into a quadrate Light rust-red spot, labe is distin.guished by this spot from the following 

 form. 43 mm. FKes in low-lying districts of Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama 

 confusa. and Colombia. — confusa Stgr. (47 b) is a form of labe wliich varies very much m size (34 — 46 mm.), but only 

 differs in that the hght rust-red spot at the anal angle on the underside of the huadwiiig is not present and on 

 the upperside of the same wing there are indistinct, obscure dark brown spots in cellules 3 to 5. Its area 

 of distribution is about the same as in. labe, but in South America confusa extends as far south as Ecuador. It 

 is also commoner than labe. 



palladia. E. palladia Btlr. (47 b). Above brown, 2 dark brown stripes in the basal half, 2 margmal and an 



undulate submarginal line, an eye-spot at the apex of the fore'ning and one at the anal angle of the hindwing 

 with double pupil. Beneath white, 2 median bands, 2 margiiaal and an luidulate submarginal line brown, the 

 proximal lines at the anal angle of the hindwing broader and yellow. Forewing with 3 eye-spots riiiged with 

 yellow and brown before the apex, some silver dots and below them a rather large red-yellow spot. Hindwing 

 ■with 5 eye-spots, the first small and black, the second and fifth large and black, the others brown, all with 

 silver double pupils; in addition a small indistinct ocellus close to the inner angle. From Tapajos, Amazons, 

 Anariver. 



terrestris. E. terrcstfis Btlr. (47 b). Above brown with 2 dark brown median bands, a submarginal and 2 margmal 



lines, at the anal angle of the liindwing an ej^e-spot with white pupil and jrellow-brown ring. Beneath brownish 

 grey with 2 red-brown median bands. Forewing with the usual apical eye-spot and 2 silvery spots below it. 

 Hindwing with 5 eye-shaped spots, the first, second and fifth black with yellow ring and double silvery pupil, 

 the silver dot of the others is elongated and bordered with orange-yellow. Surinam, Amazons, Matto Grosso 

 (Cuyaba). 



moneta. E. montin spec. nov. [4,1 h). Above olive-brown, Avith 3 parallel margmal lines on both wmgs. A small 



black eye-spot with wliite pupil and red-yellow ring before the apex of the forewing, a somewhat larger one with 

 silvery double pupil at the anal angle of the hindwmg and an mdistinct one without pupil and with a brown 

 ring in cellule 5 of this M-ing. A slight indication of a dark band traverses both wmgs. Beiieath white-grey, 

 with 2 straight parallel brown bands through the middle, the proximal narrower, the cUstal broader, the 

 latter somewhat washed-out at the proximal side. Before the apex of the forewmg a black eye-spot with 2 

 distally placed silverj^ pupils just above it and thick silver spots one above the other, just below it 4 similar 

 silver spots in a straight row. Then follows a large reddish-yellow spot. On the hindwmg there are two large 

 black ocelli with double silverv pupils (obhque in the anterior ocellus) and red-yellow and dark brown rings. 

 Between these eye-spots 2 large heart-shaped silver spots and close to the costal margui 2 further silver spots, 

 which are similar to those on the forewmg. The submargmal liiie of this species has one peculiarity which does 

 not occur in any of the preceding. It consists of small arcs, 2 placed in each ceUule, the convexity distally directed 

 and the points proximally. In this the species resembles the following penelope. From Cayenne. 



penelope. E. penelope F. (= Clarissa Cr.) (47 b). Above j^ellow-brown with 2 dark brown median bands, 2 mar- 



ginal hues, finely dentate submarginal Une, an eye-spot on the forewing before the apex, m the ^ without, 

 in the $ with silver^^ pupil. Hindwmg in ^ and $ with a similar ej-e-spot with double silvery pupil at the anal 

 angle and an obscure eye-spot at the apex. On the brownish grey under surface the species is distinguished 

 by having the submarginal line as finely dentate as in the preceding species {moneta) and at the proximal 

 side of this Une a stripe 2 — 3 mm. in breadth, sprinkled over with a number of scattered dark brown scales. 

 On the forewing 1 eye-spot, on the huadwing 2 with double silvery pupils and several silvery spots. Brazil, Ama- 

 pyfheus. zons, Surmam. — pytheus Mosclil. is a form similar to penelope with only one Ught-yeUow-bordered eye-spot 

 at the anal angle of the hindwing, the broA^ni discal band on the underside of the forewing extending nearly 

 to the inner margin, the submargmal Uiae with shallower arcs and the brown dots wanting. From Paramaribo 

 (Surinam). 



slmiUs. E. similis Btlr. The form of this species figured by GoDiiA>' and Salatin' in the Brit. Centr. Am. is regarded 



as the type. Butlee having mixed 2 forms in his original description. 40 mm. On the mider surface the ground- 

 colour is Ught brown as far as the second transverse Une behind the middle, marginal area whitish grey 

 traversed by a Ught brown discal band, on which in ceUule 2 of the hindwing are placed a black eye-spot
