EUPTYCHIA. By G. Weymer. 213 



vring there is only one eye-spot, the 5 eye-spots of the hindwing are smaller, less oval, but coloured like those 

 of Jib ye. From Pebas in Peru. Coll. Bang-Haas. 



Pacarus Group. 



E. saundersii Btlr. The inner angle of the forewing with a bluntly angled projection. Above brown saundcrsii. 

 with 2 iadistinct marginal Imes. Beneath lighter brown, inclining to violet, the marginal area of the hindwing 

 bluish green. Two brown median lines, diverging towards the costa of the forewing, the outer forming a small 

 angle distad on the hmdwuig. Two brown marginal lines, forewing without eye-spots. On the hindwing 5 (occa- 

 sionally 6) oval black eye-spots with light brown and outer dark brown rings and silvery pupils. The 3 middle 

 ones are somewhat larger than the rest. Size 56 mm. From Ega on the Amazon and from Pernambuco. 



E. mima Btlr. Similar to the preceding, but much smaller, only measuring 37 mm. On the under sur- mima. 

 face the forewing has a small eye-spot before the apex and the median lines are more approximated anteriorly ; 

 the hindwmg is less violet and its eye-spots are smaller and placed nearer to the margin. From Tapajos. 



E. fumata Btlr. Above black-bro\\-n. with light brown marginal line. Beneath somewhat lighter; on lunmia. 

 the forewing only one median line is present, Avhich touches neither the costal nor the inner margin; on the 

 hindwiirg there are two, of wliich the outer one is angled at the anal angle and joms the undulate submarginal 

 line. In addition there are 2 dark brown marginal Imes. Hindwing with 6 heart-shaped black ocelli, which 

 have ochre-yellow rings and outer dark brown ones and are sprinkled with steel-blue dots, the 3rd, 4th and 

 5th ocelli somewhat larger than the rest. 55 mm. From Rio Grande. 



E. amalda spec. nov. (48 f ). This new species is similar to fumata beneath, but very different above cimaldn. 

 and considerably smaller. The basal and median areas of the forewing above are velvety dark brown, the costal 

 and distal margins lighter brown. Tliis lighter colouring begms narrowly at the base of the costal margin, but 

 gradually increases in breadth distally aiid measures 4 mm. from the apex to the inner angle, where it agam 

 becomes somewhat narrower. At the base the two colours shade into one another. The hindwing is lighter 

 brown.. The under surface is dark grey-brown with 2 median, one submarginal and 2 marginal lines brown. 

 The forewing has no eye-spots, but on the hindwing there are 5 small, proximally pointed, black ocelli, which 

 are surrounded by brown rings and have obliquely placed pupils formed of silvery dusting. From the Mapiri 

 (Amazons), coll. Bang-ELvas. 



E. pacarus Godt. Above unicolorous brown. Beneath the same with 2 darker marginal lines, the hmd- pacm-us. 

 wing in addition with a dark brown median line and 5 round, deep black ocelli, which have a pupil composed 

 of silvery dustmg. a brownish iris and outside it a dark brown ring. On the forewing there are no ej^e-spots. 

 50 mm. From Brazil. Rare, apparently wanting in. all the more recent collections. 



E. peculiaris Btlr. Above brown with a lighter line before the margin and a black-brown marginal pecuUaris. 

 one, the hindwing ■with a dentate submarginal. Beneath lighter, both Avings with 2 dark brown margmal, a 

 dentate submarginal and 2 irregular median lines. A washed-out light brown band crosses the middle. The 

 hindwing has before the apex at the costal margin 2 obliquely placed, black, white-pupilled ocelli with ochre- 

 yellow iris. The species is easy to recognize by these 2 isolated eye-spots on the under surface. 53 mm. From 

 Minas Geraes. Rare. 



E. insignis Btlr. Above brown with 2 indistinct marginal lines, on the hindwing the larger eye-spot insujnU. 

 of the under surface before the anal angle shows through above. Beneath the wings are lighter, the hindwing 

 whitish in the median area; both wings with 2 brown marginal lines, the iamer on the hindwing undulate. The 

 hindwing with 2 fairly straight, parallel brown lines, only 3 mm. apart, through the middle and in the marginal 

 area, in cellules 1 c, 2 and 3, with 3 black, silver-pupilled eye-spots, which have a common ochre-yellow bor- 

 dering and of which the middle one is large, the others very small. Locality unknown. Collected by Bates. 



E. erichtho Btlr. (= antonina i^^cZr.) (48 f). The inner angle of the hindwing is obtusely produced as ericMlw. 

 in saundersii. Upper surface olive-brown, the forewing with 2, the hindwing with 3 dark brown marginal Imes. 

 Beneath lighter brown; the margins dusted with whitish violet, with 3 distinct marginal and 2 dark brown 

 median lines, and with a short dark brown streak on the discocellular of the forewing. Two small eye-spots 

 before the apex of the forewing, occasionally also a third in cellule 2; hindwing with 6 black eye-spots with 

 thick, glossy white pupils, which are surrounded by 4 rings, first a brownish yellow, then a black, then ochre- 

 yellow and outside again black. The 3rd, 4th and 5th eye-spots are u.sually larger than the rest. From Cayenne, 

 Surinam, Brazil (Rio, Pernambuco, Bahia, Para, Ega), Bolivia (Coroico). 



Batesii Group. 



E. batesii Btlr. (= terentia Fldr.) (48 g). Above brown, with a slight lilac gloss, with 3 indistinct mar- haicsii. 

 ginal lines and grey fringes. The $ at the anal angle of the hindwing with a black oval s]5ot with white pupil
