 tlie underside of the hind^ving is somewhat larger. From Parana and Esperito Santo. 



E. eusebia Btlr. (-17 g). Above olive-broM'n, with the distal margm darker. Beneath lighter in the euscbia. 

 marginal area. Of the median lines onty the anterior half of the outer line is visible on the forewing, on the hmd- 

 wing the iimer median Ime is almost straight, the outer undiilate. Before the ajDex of the forewing a white dot 

 surrounded with dark. On the hindwing 5 or 6 similar eye-shaped dots. The submargirial line forms shallow 

 lunules on the forewing. deeper ones on the hindwing. From Colombia (Bogota), Antilles (coll. Bang-Haas). 



E. boliviana Godm. (17 g). Above olive-browai. Beneath the forewing is olive-bro%vn, with the distal boKviana. 

 margin broadly oelu•e-yello^^^ proximalh* to which are placed 2 or 3 white subapical dots. An. undulate sub- 

 marginal lin.e and 2 straight margmal Imes broAvn. The hindwing is strongly dusted with white in the posterior 

 half, the distal margin dull ochre-yellow, the base brown, 2 very dentate median and an undulate submarginal 

 line dark brown. In the marginal area a row of fiire white dots. Bolivia (San Jacinto, Corvica). 



E. griseola spec. nov. (47 g). Above grey-brown, costal and distal margin darker, hindwing lighter, griseola. 

 marginal lines iirdistinct. Under surface yellov^ash grey, in the marginal area lighter, the first transverse line 

 indistinct, the second more strongh^ dentate on the hindwmg than on the forewing, the submarginal line dentate 

 on both wings, the margmal liiies on the forewing straight, on the hindwing undulate. In the marginal area on 

 the forewing 5 brown spots, the 3 middle ones with silvery pupils, hindwing with 5 ocelli with silvery pupils 

 and ochi'e-yellow and brown rmgs. From the Mapiri. 



E. griseldis sjjec. nov. (48 d) $. The distal margin of the hindwing is strongly dentate, the inner margin rjriseldis. 

 excised. Above grej'-brown, the distal half of the liindwmg lighter. No first transverse Ime discernible. The 

 2nd transverse line is placed on both wings somewhat further distad than usual and is fairly straight. Sub- 

 marginal liire dentate, 2 margitial lines dark, a black dot in cellule 2 of the hindwing. Under surface yelloAv- 

 gre}', inner margin of the forewmg and distal half of the hmdwing lighter, fiD.ely sprinkled all over with brown, 

 forewing with the same transverse Imes as above, hindwing with a straight first transverse lin.e, the 2nd transverse 

 line widened into a broad bro'mr band, m the light marginal area 3 black dots, in part with double white pupils 

 and some brown spots between them. From Esperito Santo (Brazil). 



E. muscosa Btlr. (48 e) $ has the apex of the forewing truncate, so that an obtuse angle is formed in the muscosa. 

 distal margin at vein 5 and a right angle at the costal margin.; in the 5 figured this point is even somewhat 

 produced. Hence the species forms a transition to the genus Pindis. Above unicolorous olive-brown. On the 

 under surface the forewing is lighter brown and irrorated all over with dark brown. The ground-colour of the 

 hindwing is more bluish gre}^ likewise irrorated with brown, bearing in the middle a blue-grey spot with less 

 irroration, behind this a broad blue-grey baud without any; but in the $ this band is also irrorated. — According 

 to W. Mt'T.T.F.E the egg of this species is round, without markings. The young larva resembles that of Taygetis 

 yptkima. The body is whitish green, adorned with fine bristly hairs, the head light brown, rugose, with conical 

 elevations, on which are placed short black-brown horns with bristly hairs. The larvae feed on grasses, but 

 died before the first moult. The butterfly is distributed in South Brazil (Blumenau, Joinville, Sao Paulo). 



E. antonoe Cr. (48 e). One of the largest species. Above brown with 2 dark marginal lines on the fore- aniono'e. 

 wing and 3 on the hindwing, also a small, black, oval spot in cellule 2 of the hindwing. Beneath lighter brown, 

 with 2 almost straight brown median stripes, 3 eye-spots on the forewing, only the first distinct, 5 on the hind- 

 wing, the 2nd and 5th large, the others smaller, all in red-yellow rings. From Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, 

 Panama, Venezuela, Surinam, Amazons. — zeba Btlr. is a form of antonoe, with the under surface lighter brown- zeba. 

 Lsh grey, the median bands somewhat narrower and converging somewhat towards the anal margin of the hind- 

 wing. From Pebas in Peru. 



'nna. 



E. sabina Fldr. (48 e) is somewhat similar to antonoe Cr., but considerably smaller. The upper surface sabi 

 is grey-brown with 3 faint transverse stripes, which are broader on the hindwing, a large black eye-spot with 

 yellow and brown rings in cellule 2 of the hindwing before the anal angle and 2 similar, somewhat obscure 

 eye-spots at the apex of the same wing; the other 2 eye-spots of the underside only show through quite faintly 

 above, the under surface is lighter, with one ocellus on the forewing and 5 on the hindwing. From the Ama- 

 zons and Cayenne. The figure is from Felder's type in coll. Rothschild. 



E. lineata Godm. (45 e). The hindwing of this species is more elongate than in antonoe, with the anal Vmcaia. 

 half of the distal margin dentate. The upper surface is unicolorous brown, the under surface somewhat lighter 

 browTi, with a straight, yellowish white, sharply defined median band 1 mm. in breadth and a narrow, brown, 

 white-edged basal line. On the broad distal margin, which is much lighter, the dentate submarginal line and the 

 marginal line stand out distinctly. Each wing bears 2 or 3 small, black, white-pupilled eye-spots. The median 

 band varies greatly in shape, width and colouring. From Manaure in the Sierra Nevada, from Santa Marta 

 (900 m.) in North Colombia, Carmen (1200 m.) in West Columbia, in August. — I propose the name interrupta intermpla. 

 fryrrn. nov. for a form in which the median band on the underside of the forewing is only indicated at the costal 

 margin by a pointed white triangle , being otherwise replaced by a dark brown line, accompanied distally in
