206 EUPTYCHIA. By G. Weymer. 



and 6 on the hindwing, the 2nd and 5th bemg the largest and the 3rd consistmg of 2 eye-spots obliquely ad join- 

 onariemis. ing one another. From Cordoba. — bonariensis Burm. (47 f) is a further form of celmis, which on the upper 

 surface has neither eye-spots nor dots and beneath onlj^ brown rmgs instead of the eye-spots. From Buenos Aires. 

 grimo7i. E. griition Godt. (47 f). Above olive-brown with undulate submarginal and 2 dark brown marginal 



lines, between the latter on the hindwing a whitish grej' line. Beneath light brownish grey, fmely dotted with 

 brown, with 2 dentate darker Imes through the middle and the 3 marginal Imes as above. Forewurg with 3 eye- 

 spots, only the first distmct, the others obscure. Hindwing with 5 eye-spots, the first 2 and the last black with 

 double white pupil, the others composed onlj^ of brown rings mth ochre-yellow pupils. From Brazil. 



phronius. E. phrofiius Godt. (47 f). Above grey-brown, with indistinct darker marginal lines and similar submar- 



gmal liue, also an indistinct dark dot at the anal angle of the hindwing. Beneath yellowish grey, finely dotted 

 with brown all over, with 2 dentate darker transverse lines through the middle, on which at each vein is placed 

 a dark brown dot. Marginal area somewhat lighter, containing 1 — 4 white dots on the forewing, 4 — 5 on the 

 hindwing. Sometimes some of these dots are double or present incompletely formed dark rings. St. Catharina 

 (Brazil). 



acmous. E. acTtienis Hhn . (51 b). Above black-grey. Beneath more brownish grej^, sprinkled with dark bro«ai 



dots. The dark brown median Imes are fairly straight on the forewmg, on the huidwing strongly undulate and 

 running parallel with the distal margin. The median area enclosed b}^ them is dark brown on the hindwing. 

 The marginal area becomes gradually darker towards the distal margin, but shows no eye-spots or dots. The 

 fringes light brownish. The locality of tliis species is unknown, for that given by Hubxee (Baltimore) is incorrect. 

 It resembles the preceding species, but the median band is much more strongly curved in acmenis and the white 

 dots in the marginal area, as well as the dark bro«'n dots on the median lines, are absent. 



Paeon Group. 



paeon. E. paeoil Godt. (51 b). Margua of the huidwing obtuselj^ dentate, in the ^ more strongly, in the $ more 



weakl}'. Above grej^-brown, with an undulate submarginal and 2 margmal lines dark brown. Of the latter 

 the inner is proximally widened and on the hindwing forms crescentic spots between the veins. An undulate 

 whitish line between these marginal lines. At the anal angle of the hindwmg a small, round, dark brown spot, 

 which m the $ is larger, in the o smaller or absent. Beneath there are on the forewing in addition to the lines 

 of the upper surface 2 straight median lines and a small eye-spot before the apes. The hindwmg is brownish 

 grey or brownish yellow m the basal half and at the costal margm, becomhig gradually darker posteriorly, marbled 

 all over with dark brown. Two dark brown, strongly dentate transverse stripes run from the costal to the 

 mner margm. In the margmal area 4 small black eye-spots with double white pupils, 2 at the apes and 2 at the 

 larmorata. inner angle. Rio de Janeiro and St. Catharina. — marmorata Btlr. (47 f) is a form of paeon in which the under 

 surface is much lighter and the dark brown posterior half of the hindwing in the tj^e-form is restricted to a dark 

 spot at the distal margin. All else as in that, hence the transverse liiies stand out more distinctly. Rio de Janeiro, 

 St. Catharina. Rio Grande do Sul. 



eniesthia. E. ernestina spec. nov. (47 f). Similar to paeon, but the shape is I'ounder, the distal margin but slightty 



undulate, not dentate, and above in addition to the anal spot of the hindwing a round black spot is present 

 before the apex of the forewing, which is wantmg in paeon. On the underside of the forewing the 2nd transverse 

 stripe is not straight, but distalh' curved and here are placed 3 e3^e-spots, a black one with yellow iris and wliite 

 pupil before the apex, and 2 smaller ones below it, consistmg of brown rings with double, oval, silvery pupils. 

 On the hmdwing the transverse stripes are broader, the second is forked anteriorly and beliind it are placed 

 5 eye-spots, of \^'hich those m cellules 2, o and 6 are black with ^^'hite pupils, yellow iris and brown rmgs, whilst 

 those in cellules 3 and 4 consist merely of brown rings with double, oval, silvery pupils. From Esperito Santo 

 (Brazil). 



Hermes Group. 



amhnjua. E. ambigua Btlr. (48 a). Above brown with 3 mdistinct marginal lines, the prosimal one dentate. 



Hmdwing with ochre-yellow marginal line. Beneath lighter, the first transverse line irregular, the second curved 

 round at the mner margm of the liindwing, the margmal lines as above. Both wings with 5 ocelli, which have 

 bro^vn rmgs and mostly double silvery pupils and on the hindwmg are placed in an angular row. From Rio de 

 modcsia. Janeu'o. — modesta Btlr. Similar to the preceding, somewhat larger, above bromi, of the 3 marginal Imes 

 the proximal one is undulate. Beneath brownish grey Avith 2 oblique, but fairly straight, red-brown median lines. 

 The marginal lines as above. Forewing with 3 ochre-yellow-rmged eye-spots, of which the fnst has a double 

 silvery pupil. Hmdwing with 5 ocelli, wliich have red-yellow rings and partly single, parity double silvery pu- 



huehiwri. pils. From Pard and Cameta (Amazons). — huebneri Btlr. is above quite like amhigua, beneath the ground- 

 colour is more brownish at the base, more grey at the apex, ochre-coloured at the liindmargin. The median 

 transverse lines are red-brown and the first is nearly straight. On the hindAving there is a 6th small eye-spot 



hencdictn. at the anal angle. Pai'a. — benedicta Btlr. is similar to huebneri, but differs in the larger eye-spots of the
