A^aya Group. 



E. aj[aya BHr. (= iris FIdr.) (49 g). Above brown, with dark brown reflection, which does not quite cKjaya. 

 reach the margins of the wings. lu tlie middle of the hmdwmg is placed at the end of the cell a tuft of brown 

 liairs. in the vicinity of which the ground-colour is darker. Under surface violet-grey, forewing with 3 broad, 

 straight, brown transvei-se stripes, 2 margmal lines and a black eye-spot, ringed with brownish yelloAv, 

 before the apex, Hindwing Nvith the same bands, 3 dentate lines before the distal margin and 3 eye-spots in cel- 

 lules 2, 3 and 6, all bi-pupilled, hi the $ the hair-tuft and the dark spot on the iipperside of the hindwmg 

 are absent. From the Amazon (Tapajos), Colombia (Bogota), Taken by Passl in the Llanos of Medina in East 

 Colombia (400 m,) in June. 



Doxes Group. 

 E. doxes Godt. (= erj-cina Btlr.) (49 d). Above grey-brown with slight bluish grey sheen and with 2 do.reg. 

 dark brown marginal and a similar terminal line. On the hmdwing are placed 2 — 4 round dark brown 

 spots in cellules 1 c, 2, 3 and 5, the two last are often absent. The under surface is somcAvhat lighter and has 

 2 dark brown median Imes, of which the outer one is more or less stronglj^ angled on the hindwing. Forewing 

 without eye-spots, hindwing with 5 or 6 elongate oval ocelli, red-yellow with black pupils, the inner half of which 

 is densely sprinkled with M-liite, silverj^ scales; the first and the last eye-spot are smaller than the rest. 

 The number of the eye-spots varies. Prof, Seitz has taken both examples with 6 and those with 5 ocelli 

 fMng at one place, Fi'om Brazil (Esperito Santo), 



E. latia Btlr. Above brown, hindwing with a rather large ochre-yellow patch before the margin, 4 black latio. 

 spots and undulate oclrre-j^elloAA' submargmal line. Beneath brown, the distal part of the hindwing whitish, the 

 margin itself brown, the median lines as in doxes, but further separated, hindwing with 6 large, oval eye-spots, 

 ringed with red-yellow, the first 2 and the last 2 with large black pupils, dusted with silver at the proximal 

 side, the other 2 with entirely silvery, oval pupils. From Bahia. 



E. furina Heic. (49 d). Above brown, the hindwing with large white median area, at the margin of which iurina. 

 are placed some black .spots. Forewing beneath brownish grey, with 2 reddish brown median bands, an 

 indistinct grey-brown band in the marginal area with a silver spot in the middle and 3 brown marginal lines. 

 Hind-wing wlute ^rith 2 reddish brown median bands. In the marginal area 6 red-yellow, elongated eye-spots 

 form a broad band, enclosmg in each cellule a large spot, which is distally black, proximally dusted with silver 

 and conically pointed. At the margin 3 terminal lines. From the Amazons. 



E. junonia Btlr. The forewing rather elongated, above brown, without markings, hindwing with three junonia. 

 dark brown marginal lines and two light lines between them. Beneath brownish grey, with 2 brown median 

 bands, the inner one scarcely reaching the middle of the inner margin of the hindwing, the outer terminating 

 at the 6th eye-spot. These eye-spots are as in furina, but the first two smaller. From Tapajos (Amazons), 



E. gemmula Btlr. Above brown, the hindwing at the anal angle lighter, with 1 or 2 black spots and 2 gemmula. 

 black-brown or rust-brown marginal lines. Beneath lighter with 2 narrow, rust-coloured, widely separated 

 median stripes and 2 angular marginal lines, bi'own on the forewing, rust-coloured on the hindwing; the distal 

 margin itself narrowly black. Hindwing in the (J with 5, in the $ with 6 eye-spots, which, however, are 

 more round than oval and are all broadly margined with yellow. The pupil of the 2nd and of the 5th eye-spot 

 is distalh' black, proximally greenish silvery, the others have the pupils entirely greenish silvery. Rio de Janeiro, 



Clorimene Group. 

 E. cosmophila Hhn. (2 = argenteus Swains.) (49 f). Above grey-browir. The distal margin darker, co.s(»op7(i/a. 

 before the margin of the hindwing a washed-out brownish ochre-yellow patch, in which are placed 1 or 2 round 

 black .spots with or without white central dot. 3 dark brown marginal lines. Beneath much lighter, with 2 widely 

 separated, fine brown median lin?s and 3 dark brown marginal lines. Forewing in the marginal area with a row 

 of brown spots, which are sprinkled with fine gold dots and enclosed both proximally and distally by an undu- 

 late brown line. On the hindwing is placed in the marginal area an ochre-yellow band, anteriorly narrow, 

 posteriorly broad, on which are scattered 6 — 8 shining golden spots, and in cellule 2 a black spot with golden 

 double pupill. Brazil (Parana, Bahia). 



E. dementia Btlr. Above light olive-brown with indistinct dark median line and somewhat darker clemcnfla. 

 margin. Hindwing with 4 brown discal spots and 2 dentate marginal lines on a lighter ground. Beneath lighter 

 with 2 dark brown median lines, diverging anteriorly on. both wings, and 3 dark brown marginal lines. In the 

 marginal area of the forewing are placed on a brown band a row of indistinct, silver-du.sted eye-shaped 

 spots. On the hindwing the disc is .snow-white and traversed by a broad, ochreous, brown-margined band, 

 which contains 3 black eye-spots with silver pupils (2 at the apex and one at the anal angle). Between 

 and behind the eye-spots some elongate silver spots. From Chanchamayo in Peru.
