222 EUPTYCHIA. By G. Weymer. 



lelesphora. E. telesphora Btlr. (= telesiphora Kirhy) (49 f ). Above brown with 3 darker marginal lines, hindwing 



in the middle somewhat lighter, at the anal angle a dark brown spot. Beneath grey-brown with a row of black, 

 silver-centred dots, enclosed in groups of 2 or 3 by brown rings, all again enclosed bj'' an outer brown line. Hind- 

 wing light yellowish, at the margin reddish j^ellow with 3 black ej^e-spots Avith silver pupils as in the preceding 

 species, and with several silver dots between and behind them, all margined with black. Prom the Marcapata 

 (Peru). 



cloriniene. E. clorimene Stoll. Above brown with the distal margin lighter; hindwing with a narrow and a some- 



what broader, dentate, pale yellow marginal stripe and a small eye-shaped spot at the anal angle. Beneath 

 lighter, the distal margin brownish yellow, with narrow brown transverse lines and a broader brown stripe, which 

 is intersected by a silver line. On the middle of the hindwing a broad light brown transverse band, through which 

 runs a yellow-brown stripe. The margiiral area is brownish yellow with 4 round silver spots, placed in black 

 rings. Between and behind these rings are placed 3 silver streaks, which reach the distal margin. The distal 

 margin itself is bordered by 3 black and 2 light yellow lines. From Surmam. Rare. 



pagyris. E. pagyris Godt. (49 f). Above brown, forewing -wdthout markings, hindwing towards the anal angle 



whitish with 3 black dots, of Avhich the middle is the largest. The forewing beneath brown with 2 rust-coloured 

 transverse stripes and before the distal margin a row of silvery dots. The hindwing beneath in the basal half 

 grey with the same 2 rust-coloured transverse stripes as the forewing, in the distal half yellowish with 7 silver 

 spots, of which 5 are nearh^ round and placed parallel to the distal margin, the other two, and especially the one 

 next to the inner margin, elongated and reaching the second rust-coloured stripe. Between the 4th and 5th 

 of these round spots there is a large, oval, black spot, transversely placed and marked with 2 thick silver 

 dots. On the grej^ distal margin are placed 2 blackish undulate lines. From Brazil. 



hygina. E. hygina Btlr. (49 f). Pale olive-brown. Hindwing with a large red-yellow discal spot, surrounded 



by 5 blackish spots, of which the 3 smaller, anterior ones form a triangle. Beneath whitish brown, the transverse 

 lines and silver spots similar to those of the preceding species, but the 2nd transverse line on the hindwing very 

 irregular and the marginal area beyond it almost entirely filled up by the bright red-yellow bordering of the 

 silver spots. From Brazil (Jomville). 



salvini. E. salvitii Btlr. (49 f). Grey-broAvn, basal half of the forewing lighter. The dark transverse stripes of 



the under surface show through distinctly above. The hindwing in the middle whitish with 2 round black 

 spots at the apex and a larger one in cellule 2, between them two smaller ones nearer to the distal margin. Beneath 

 white, forewing with 6 brown transverse stripes, the first oblique, the 4th and 6th connected anteriorly and 

 posteriorly, so that they enclose the '5th stripe, on wliich is placed a row of silver dots. The hindwing has 

 in the basal area 3 straight brown stripes and in the ochre-yellow marginal area, which is posteriorly bor- 

 dered with brown, an angled row of silver spots, some of them in black rings. From Panama and Peru. 



itonis. E. itonis Hew. (49 g). On the upper surface the space between the 3 black marginal lines of the hind- 



wing is reddish brown, and towards the anal angle white. The large white area of the hindwing is divided on 

 the under surface by 2 brown transverse lines, which are here present also on the forewing. For the rest the ground- 

 colour beneath is grej^-brown. In the marginal area of the forewing are further 6 parallel brown lines, posteriorly 

 somewhat convergent; among them is a somewhat broader stripe, enclosing a row of silver dots. In the 

 ochre-yellow marginal area of the hindwing, which is distally bordered by an undulate, proximally by a dentate, 

 brown line, is placed at the anal angle a black eye-spot measuring over 3 mm., with thick silvery pupil, 

 quadrina. beliind it 3 small silver spots and before it 6 somewhat larger ones. From the Amazons (Para). — qua- 

 drina Btlr. is a form of itonis in which the white area of the hindwing has acquired an almost quadrate shape. 

 Tlie lines on the under surface of the forewing are more widely separated and not curved posteriorlJ^ From 

 Maranham. 



Ubitina. E. libitiiia Btlr. Above brown with a triangular black median spot and 2 marginal lines, hindwing at the 



distal margin, lighter with 3 black marginal lines. Beneath much lighter. Forewing «ith 2 brown median and 3 

 submarginal lines, between them a white band with silver-pupilled spots. Hindwing with 2 ochre-brown 

 median lines, the distal part orange with 8 silver spots, a short white, black-edged band and a similar dot 

 before the margin, a black spot at the anal angle, divided by a white line, and with a small, black-bor- 

 dered silver spot above it. 43 mm. From Brazil. Rare, only in coll. Dkuce. 



Phocion Group. 

 phocioit E. phocion F. (= areolatus Sm.-Abb., helicta Hbn.) (49 g). Above unicolorous brown. Under surface 



lighter, with the middle ones of the rust-coloured lines on each wing joined into a circle, in which are placed 

 on the forewing 3 or 4 eye-shaped spots with blue pupils and yellow iris (sometimes indistinct), on the hind- 

 wing 6 similar elongated spots with oval pupils. The egg of this species is ,yellow-green ; it has quite fine, rough 

 surface. Larva green with the head scarcely elevated, but with long anal points. Pupa obtuse, rounded, deep 

 green, the wing-cases margined with wlutish. The larva lives on grasses and is difficult to breed. Habits
