EUPTYCHIA. By G. Weymer. 205 



at the anal angle of the hmdwmg has a double white pupil. On the under surface the two somewhat broader 

 median stripes diverge towards the costal angle of the forewing, on the hindwing they run parallel, but bend 

 round proximad at the inner margin, forming 2 teeth. Forewing with an apical ocellus, black with red-yellow 

 ring and white pupil. Huidwing with 6 eye-spots, the first 2 and the last 2 like the one on the forewing except 

 that the first is brown instead of black, the 2 middle ones yellowish brown. From Chiriqui. — peioria Fldr. peloria. 

 (47 e) is a further form of renata, in which the first transverse stripe on the forewing is strongly curved on the 

 under surface and the other is proximallj'' shaded with yellowish brown. According to Felder's description 

 the hindwing has beneath 6 eye-spots, of which the first and the two middle ones are very indistinct. Our figure 

 is from one of Feldee's t^^pes and shows only 3 eye-spots. Venezuela. 



E. mythra Stgr. i. I. (47 e). Above olive-brown with 2 brown marginal lines, and at some distance from mythra. 

 them an undulate submarginal, between the former on the hindwing a whitish line and at the anal angle a small 

 black ocellus with white pupil and red-yellow ring. Beneath brownish grey, finely irrorated with brown and with 



2 straight parallel median lines and m the lighter marginal area a brown band, on which on the forewing are placed 



3 rather obscure eye-spots, on the liindwuig 5 small ones. The first 2 and the last on the hindwing are black, 

 the others brown, all with double dull white pupils and surrounded by ochre-yellow and outer brown rings.

E. abretia Caqyr. (46 f). Above light olive-brown. The straight light band on the under surface shows abretia. 

 through somewhat above, and the 3 marginal lines are also visible. Beneath there is a brown, angled Ime before 

 the middle, and in the margmal area of the lihidwing a row of 6 fine black dots, the first with an extremely fine 

 white pupil. Brazil (Valen9a, Petropolis). Flies in September. 



E, angularis Btlr. (47 e). Differs somewhat in the shape of the wings. The apex of the forewing is ob- angidaris. 

 tuse. The huidwing is angled at the submedian and at medians 1 and 2, the inner mai'gin somewhat excised. 

 Above olive-bro^\^l, marginal lines and anal spot very indistinct. Under surface yellowish grey, finely irrorated • 

 ^vith dark brown, with 2 straight reddish brown median lines, a strongly dentate submarginal line and 2 mar- 

 ginal lines on both wings. Fore\\dng with 5 scarcely visible, white, brown-bordered dots (sometimes in yellow 

 rings). On the hindwing 6 small ej^e-shaped spots or dots, of which the 1st, 3rd and 4th are scarcely visible, 

 the others distinctl}' black with yellow rings, the 5th somewhat larger and bi-pupilled. Minas Geraes (Butler),

E, punctata spec. nov. (47 e). In the shape of the wings quite similar to the preceding species, but the punctata. 

 under surface is c^uite differently marked. Above olive-brown, forewing without marginal lines, only the fringes 

 somewhat lighter. Huidv^-ing with 2 marginal Imes, the distal indistinct, the proximal darker and distinct, with 

 an obscure submarginal line composed of large lunules. Under surface yellowish grey, with slight darker irrora- 

 tion. A fine, brown dentate line runs through the cell of both wings with single darker dots on the veins, in the 

 distal half of the ^^^ngs 2 broad light parallel stripes, the proximal yellowish, the distal whitish yellow. Proxim- 

 ally to the first stripe there Ls a row of fine black dots on the veins, connected by proximally directed broAvn 

 lunules. A similar row of clots' is placed outside the distal stripe, on which are placed the distally directed lunules 

 of the submarginal line. These lunules likewise bear black dots in the middle of the cell. Two further rows 

 of dots (the 4th and oth) are placed on the almost straight marginal lines, which are only undulate in the poste- 

 rior part of the hindwing. There is also a single black clot with white pupil in cellule 2 between the 2 lighter 

 stripes. From Minas Geraes (Brazil), coll. Weymer. 



E. straminea Btlr. Forewing somewhat longer, the apex consequently more pointed than in the allied straminca. 

 species. The distal margin of the hindwing forms an obtuse angle on vein 3. Above olive-brown, in certain 

 lights copper-coloured, with 2 brown marginal lines, an undulate submarginal line and an indistinct anal ocellus. 

 Beneath ochre-coloured, finely dusted with brown, in the disc pale rose-red, 2 widely separated brown median 

 lines, the distal one proximally margined with yellowish brown, rnarginal lines as above, between them a yellow 

 line. In the disc a brown band, on which are placed on the forewing 1, on the hindwing 4 eye-spots (2 at 

 the apex and 2 at the hinder angle), all with yellow ring and glossy white pupil, sometimes double. 50 mm.

E. celmis Godt. (47 f). Above brown with 2 dark brown lines and a distal black line at the margin, cehnis. 

 between which the ground-colour is somewhat lighter, with a small yellow-ringed eye-spot at the anal angle, 

 in the ,^ ■without, in the $ with pupil. Beneath brownish grey, finely irrorated with brown, with 2 angled darker 

 lines through the middle and the 3 marginal lines as above, 1 ocellus on the forewing and 5 or 6 on the 

 hindwing, all small, the 2nd and 3rd on the hindwing mostly indistinct, the others black with yellow ring and fine 

 white, mostly double pupils. From Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay. Common. The species varies as regards the 

 number of the ocelli and their distinctness, also the size ranges from 34 — 44 mm. — melchiades Btlr. is a form melchiades. 

 of celmis in which on the hmdwing above 2 eye-spots are present at the anal angle, of which the first is 3 times 

 as large as the last. On the under surface there are 5 small ocelli on the forewing, the 2nd somewhat larger,
