204 EUPTYCHIA. By G. Weymee. 



line behiiad the middle and -without eye-si30ts, hiiad^^-ing with 2 median lines and 5 yellow-ringed ocelli, the 

 first 2 and the last black, the others browai, the first 2 with single, the last -3 with double lustrous blue pupils. 

 The $ has beneath before the apex of the forewing a yellow dot and below it one larger and 2 smaller, obscure 

 eye-spots. 42 mm. Bahia. 



variabiUs. E. Variabilis Btlr. Above olive-brown -with lighter fruiges, 2 dark margiiial lines and an undulate 



submarginal Ime at some distance from them. Forendng with a faint band behind the middle. Hindwmg with 

 2 black, brown-bordered eye-spots before the anal angle, the upper and larger has 2, the lower only one pupil. 

 On the lighter under surface the forewmg towards the apex is sprinkled ^\n.th brown, "ndth 2 widely separated 

 median lines. The 3 margmal Imes as above, without ocelli. Hindwing someAvhat mclining to violet, at the 

 base spruakled with brown, with 2 median lines, the distal one formmg an angle in the middle and with 6 

 ochre-j'-ellow-ringed eye-spots, of which the 3rd is indistinct, the rest some black, some broAvn and for the most 

 part \vith double pupils. Aberrations occur with smaller eye-spots. 45 mm. From Brazil (Pernambuco, Rio 

 de Janeiro). 



urhana. E. urbana Btlr. (47 e). Above olive-brown, an undulate submargmal and 2 marginal lines darker, be- 



tween the latter at the anal angle of the liindwiiig a brick-coloured line, beside it 2 oval black eye-spots, the 

 distal one in cellule 2 twice as large as the proximal, both -with brick-coloured rings and silvery pupils. The 

 under surface is sprinkled with dark brown, the 2 rust-coloured median lines diverge towards the costa of the 

 forewing, but run parallel on the hmchving, the proximal forms a short angle on the forewing, the distal on the 

 hindwing. Forewing with one or 2 blind eye-spots, hindiving with 6 eye-spots, of which the 2nd and the last 

 2 are darker and larger than the rest, but all have silvery pupils. From Colombia and Paraguay. 



affinis. E. affinis Btlr. Above pale brown with 3 dark margmal Imes, between -n'liich on the hindwuig is placed 



an ochre-yellow line. A black, blue-pupilled and yellow-ringed ocellus at the anal angle of the hindwing. Under 

 surface ochreous with 2 brown median lines, the proximal straight, the distal on the forewing curved distad 

 at the costal margin, but on the hindwmg miitmg at the inner margm with the partly angled, partlj" undulate 

 submargmal line. In the marginal area a bro%vn band, on which in the forewmg are placed 3, in the hindwing 

 5 ocelli, the first on the foreA'dng, the 1st, 2nd and 5th on the liind-\raig black, the others broM'n, but all with 

 double silvery pupils and ochre-yellow rings. 42 mm. From Rio de Janeiro, Pernambuco. 



vesiigiata. E. vestigiata Btlr. Above olive-brown, 2 median and 3 marginal lines dark brown, 2 very small ocelli 



with silvery pupils at the anal angle of the hindwing. Beneath much lighter, sprmkled mth a number of brown 

 atoms, 2 narrow, yellow, fairly straight median stripes bordered ^^'itli black at both sides, wliich only form an angle 

 at the inner margin of the hindAving. The strongty dentate submarginal Ime is similarly coloured on the hindwing, 

 black on the forcAving. Forewing with 3 e3"e-spots, the first, with j'ellow ring and silver pupil, before the apex, 

 the others indistinct. Hindwing with 6 eye-spots, the 2nd ^and 5th black witli double silvery pupils, the two 

 middle ones brown and dusted with silver scales, the two outer only small, but all ringed with yellow and 

 broAvn. 40 mm. From IMinas Geraes. 



ochracea. E. ochracea Btlr. (47 e). Above unicolorous olive-broAni, distal margin somewhat darker. Beneath 



jrellowish brown, fineh' dusted with brown, with 2 straight brown median Imes, diverging anteriorly, a broad, 

 light ochre-yellow band and a washed-out brownish one. On the latter are placed on the forewing 2, on the 

 huidwing 6 small black ej^e-shaped spots m somewhat lighter rings, the 2nd and 5th finely pupilled with white. 

 From Ypisanga (Brazil), coll. Luderwald. 



Renata Group. 



renaia. E. renata Cr. Above brown with a small eye-shaped spot at the hinder angle of the forewing m cellule 2. 



Beneath likewise brown, finety striated all over with dark brown, with 2 straight dark brown median lines, 

 an undulate submargmal and 2 straight marginal lines, a small ej^e-spot before the apex of the forewing and 4 

 eye-spots on the hindwing, 2 at the apex in cellules 5 and 6 and 2 at the imier angle m cellules 1 b and 2. 

 The eye-spot in cellule 2 measures 3^2 mm., that m cellule 5 2^2 mm. in diameter, the others are smaller, all are 

 black, with white pupils (the one m cellule 5 bi-i3upilled) and bright, broad red-yellow rings. From Surmam. 

 Tliis species appears to have been liitherto misidentified, for the figures of renata in the Biol. Centr. Amer. and 

 in SiArDiXGEE Exot. Tagf. do not agree A^-ith Cra^iee's figure and text. In these figures the eye-spot on the 

 upper surface of the fore^A-ing is wanting, of which Cea:mer mentions the position very exactly m liis description, 

 and the under surface is much lighter, with the ocelli much smaller, than m Cramee and rmged with pale 

 disaffccia. j-ellow. I retain for this form, which must be separated from renata, the name disaffecta Btlr. (47 d). It has 

 no eye-spot on the upperside of the forewing, but on the hindwing a distinct one A^ith red-yellow rmg and white 

 pupil. The under surface is much lighter than the upper, especially in the marginal area. The ocelli are much 

 smaller and ringed with pale yellow, and vary in number from 3 to 6. The first and the two middle ones are 

 often verj' indistinct or entii-ely absent. Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, 

 rcinissa. Amazons. — remissa form. nov. (47 e) is a form of the preceding, in which the eye-spot on the upper surface
