with a yellow ring and a black spot above it. There are no other ocelli. T-n'o fine brown marginal and an undu- 

 late submargiaal line. From ^Mexico and Guatemala ( ? Nicaragua). — themis Btlr. is a very similar form, in themis. 

 wliich the discal band on the iinderside of the hindwing is quite faint, so that the eye-spots, of which there are 

 4 on the forewing and 5 on the lundwing, stand out distinctly. They have all yellow iris and double blue pupils, 

 the second and fifth on the hindwing are black and larger than the others, in addition there is a very small 

 sixth eye-spot close to the inner margin of the hmdwing beside the first median band. Of the three approximated 

 margmal lines the middle one is somewhat tliickened near the inner margin. Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, 

 Xicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela. Trinidad. — undina Btlr. (47 b) is a form of similis in which the mner undhm. 

 of the two marginal lines on the upperside of the hindwmg is twice as broad as the outer. Between the two 

 is placed a lighter line. The submarginal line is somewhat separated. A black eye-spot with white double pupil 

 and yellow rmg m cellule 2. On the under surface of the hindwing the dark dusting on the inner submarginal 

 line is strongly expressed, especially near the inner angle. The brown discal band is distinct and shows on the 

 forewing 1, on the hindwing 5 ocelli. 40 — 42 mm. From Mexico. 



E. cleophes Godm. db Salv. Above grey-brown with 2 broad, brown median bands, an undulate cleophes. 

 submarginal and 2 marginal lines, a black eye-spot with yellow ring and white double pupil before the apex 

 of the forewing, a similar one at the anal angle of the hindwing and a round red-yellow spot between medians 



1 and 2 in the disc of the forewing. Beneath the basal area is light grey with 2 reddish grey transverse 

 lines: marginal area almost wliite with the same eye-spots and red-yellow spot as above, but with a similar 

 eye-spot also in cellule 5 on the huidwing. Between and beside the eye-spots silver dots. 38 mm. Mexico (Aca- 

 guizotla, Tierra Colorada and Dos Caminos in Guerrero).

 and 2 median lines, of which the proximal one may also be absent. Hmdwing with a black dot at the apex, 



2 ocelli at the anal angle, black with white pupil and yellow ring, the larger before vein 2, the smaller behin.d 

 it. Beneath brownish fa^ii-coloured, the lines darker than above, forewmg with an eye-spot and several brown 

 rings which contain, scattered yellow scales. Hindwing in. the disc whitish with two larger ocelli in cellules 2 

 and 5, three smaller ones in cellules 1 c, 3 and 6, and also two placed obliquely and close together in cellule 4. 

 The (J is darker, the black dot at the costal margin of the hindwing above is absent. On the under surface the 

 forewing has only a black clot in cellule 5 and on the hindwing instead of the eye-spots in cellules 3 and 4 

 there are hlac spots with brown bordering. From Brazil: St. Leopoldina and Castro (Parana). 



E. usitata Btlr. (47 e). Above brown with a dark, straight line behind the middle and 3 marginal lines. usHcda. 

 ^ore^\•ing in the q without, in the 9 with a small eye-spot before the apex, hindwing with 2 eye-spots, black 

 with yellow ring and double white pupil, the larger in cellule 2, the smaller in cellule 3. Under surface lighter 

 than above, with 2 transverse lines tlnrough the middle, the forewing with silvery dots below the eye-spot, hind- 

 wing with 5 oceUi, the first 2 and the last black with double white pupil (only that of the second is single), the 

 others brownish grey with silvery pupil, but all placed in ochre-yellow rings, surrounded with brown. Vene-

 margin of the hinxlwing. From Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama. — pompilia jMinpilia.

 line of the hind'ning on both surfaces runs straight to the inner margin ; moreover this figure shows at the costal 

 margin of the hindwing above 2 eye-spots, which Butler does not mention in his description of pieria. From 

 Colombia and Mexico. — thelete Snell. is likewise a form of usitata, on the undfer surface quite similar to the thelete.

 ingly like our figure oi pompilia Fldr., as in addition to the anal ocellus it possesses the same 2 eye-spots at the 

 apex of the hindwing, only somewhat larger. From the island of Cura9ao. 



E. austera Btlr. Forewing above olive-brown, with a black eye-spot with silvery double pupil and austera. 

 yellow ring before the apex. Hindwing with 2 similar ocelli at the anal angle, the outer one larger; in the middle 

 a brouTi curved band, on the margin, a brownish yellow terminal Ime. Beneath grey, before the middle a narrow, 

 behind the middle a broad yellow-brown band across both wings. Then follows in the disc an ochre-yellow band, 

 in which is placed on the forewing one eye-spot as above, on the hindwing 5, the second and fifth black with 

 white pupils and yellow and outer dark brown ring, the others comjjosed of silvery spots margined with ochre- 

 yellow. The margin, brown with an ochre-yellow marginal line. 42 mm. From Bogota. 



E. divergens Btlr. (47 c). Above olive-brown with three dark marginal lm.es. The other bands and the divergens. 

 eye-spots of the under surface show through faintly above. Under surface lighter with 2 rust-coloured, brown- 

 edged median bands, of which the outer one on the forewing is curved strongly distad at the inner margin. On 

 the fore"vving 1, on the hindwing 5 ocelli, some of which are black with silvery double pupil and some silvery
