EUPTYCHIA. By G. Weymee. 



with 2 straight, fine dark brown median lines. The marginal area lighter with the 3 margin.al Imes and 5 ocelli 

 on each wing, all small and of uniform size, yellowish brown with small black centres finely pupilled with w^hite 

 and surrounded by brown rings. From Bahia. Figure from Felder's tj^pe. 



manasscs. E. manasses Fldr. (48 c). Above brown, hindwing with 2 black eye-spots in red-yellow rings and with 



pale-coloured pupils, the outer large, a third, indistinct, above them. Under surface dark to the 2nd straight 

 transverse line, marginal area lighter, especially on. the liin.dwing. Forewing without eye-spots, hiudwmg with 

 6 small ones in an angled row". From Bahia. Figure from Felder's tj^e. 



mhnas. E. mimas Gochn. (48 d). A larger species. Similar to the preceding, but the wings broader and the 



distal margin of the forewing less rounded, also the liindwing with somewhat stronger excisions. Above brown 

 with 2 eye-spots at the anal angle of the hindwing, the larger in cellule 2 with double white pupil and yellow 

 ring-, the smaller in cellule Ic with single pupil. Beneath yellowish brown, strongly sprinkled with dark brown; 

 2 straight brown median lines, enclosing a darker median area. In the lighter marginal area are placed on the 

 hindwing 6 ocelli, mostly bi-pupilled, the 3rd removed somewhat proximad and occasionally double. From 

 Corvico in Bolivia. 



oreba. E. oreba Btlr. Size of the preceding species, the forewing more pointed, above unicolorous brown, 



without eye-spots. Beneath somewhat lighter, distally dusted AVith grey, the dark brown median lines on the 

 forewing somewhat curved, as also the inner Ime on the hiirdwing, while the outer forms a short angle on each 

 vein, and crosses the extremity of the cell. The submarginal line on both wings forms 2 small lunules m each 

 cellule with their concavity towards the base (as is also the case in gulnare). On each wing 5 eye-spots, the 

 1st, 2nd and 5th black with yellow iris, the others ochre-yellow, all Avith white pupils. In addition there 

 are at the anal angle of the hindwing two very mdistinct eye-spots m cellule 1 b. The locality of this species 

 is unknown. Butler described it from an example in coll. Kaden (now Mus. Deuce). 



creniita. E. erertiita spec. nov. (48 d) is like oreha Btlr. in size and shape, but shows essential differences in. the 



scheme of markings on the under surface. The ground-colour of the underside is darker, less sprinkled with 

 grey. The 2nd transverse line does not intersect the end of the cell on the hindwing, but passes round it at 

 some distance in a curve, forming a proximally concave crescent in each cellule. The submarginal line in its 

 whole course on both wiii.gs likewise forms only one crescent in each cellule, whilst in oreba it |orms two in each. 

 The forcAAdng has 4, the hiD.dwing 5 ocelli. — From Marcapata in Peru (coll. Bang-Haas). 



ohscura. E. obscura Btlr. Above unicolorous brown, beneath likewise brown, the transverse line beyond the middle 



is irregularly^ curved and dentate, at the inner margin of the hindwing it unites with the submarginal line, which 

 forms only one crescent in each cellule. On the forewing there are 3 small wliite dots before the apex, on the 

 hindwing 5 eye-spots, the 2nd and 5tli black with yellow iris and white pupil, the rest entirely filled up with 

 brownish ochre-yellow and of a reniform shape. Of these only the one placed at the costal margin has a white 

 pupil. Size 53 mm. From Bolivia. 



Necys Group. 



necys. E. necys Godt. {= vastata Btlr., Tayg. neonympha Fldr.) (48 d). Wiiigs rounded. Above unicolorous 



brown. Beneath finely dotted Avith darker, Avith strongly dentate median lines, a similar submarginal line and 

 5 or 6 fine Avhite dots on each Aving m the marginal area. From Brazil (Rio Grande), Colombia (Rio Agna 



rusiica. Valley, 1600 m.,Quindiu Pass, 2500 m.). — rustica Btlr. ( ? = Tayg. anophthalma i^?rfr.) (47g). Aform of necys 

 in which on the underside of the foreAA'ing there is a small Avhite spot beside the first white dot and the other 

 Avhite dots on the foreAving are absent, but all are present on the hindwing. From Bolivia and Huamboya 



fahkina. in Ecuador. — In fabiana Btlr. the median lines are not dentate, but only weakly curved and the Avhite spot at 

 the costal margin of the forcAving of rustica is wanting. From Macahe in the province of Rio de Janeiro. 



•pohjphcmus. E. polyphetTius Btlr. (47 g). Above imicolorous broAvn, beneath but little lighter, the outer median line 



is on the forewing tAvice, on the hindAAdng several times angularlj^ bent proximad. ForcAving Avith 3 small white 

 dots before the apex ; liindAving Anth 4 or 5 extremely small and one large, distinct black eye-spot before the anal 

 Cyclops, angle, the latter and some of the former AA'ith AA'hite pupils. From Colombia (Bogota, Carmen), Bolivia. — Cy- 

 clops Btlr. {= wrahv&cea. Btlr .) (47 g) is a form of polyphemus, in Avhich on the under surface the outer median 

 line of the forcAving is not angled, but forms only a slight curve. Moreover on the liindwing the smgle small 

 lunules of this Ime run m a straighter direction. The black ring of the eye-spot in cellule 2 of the hindAving is very 

 broad. From Panama, Costa Rica, Peru, Ecuador. 



quanlius. E. quantius Godt. (= morima Schaits) (47 g). Above unicolorous broAVn. Beneath hkewise brown, 



Avith 2 darker almost straight parallel transverse lines across the middle of both Avings, enclosing a mediaia 

 area someAA'hat dusted Avith violet-grey. Submarginal line on both Avings strongly undulate, the distal margin 

 dusted Avith Aiolet-grey. 6 fizie yelloAAish AA'hite dots on the hinclAAdng and 4 or 5, somcAA'hat finer still, on the fore-
