NEOSATYRUS; NEOM/ENAS. By G. Wbymee. 235 



■srith fiiie dark striation, a dentate black line behind the cell. Beyond this line the ground-colour is lighter with 

 ■white rings and a curved row of 7 snow-white spots in black rings. Flies at high altitudes in the mountains 

 of Cliile and Argentma (4— 7000 ft. Qiillan, Lolco, Pulmari, Quillen, St. Martin). 



F. Johanna spec. nov. (51 a). Above brown. Forewing in the $ with a double eye-spot before the apex johanna. 

 with ochre-yellow rmg and 2 white pupils, and with a small blind eye-spot in cellule 2, also with yellow 

 ring. BEindwing above without ocelli. Forewing beneath somewhat lighter than above, the eye-spots placed 

 on a broad, somewhat lighter submarginal band, which is continued on the hindwing also and is proximally 

 bordered by an angled brown hne, distallj^ on the forewing by a straight brown line, on the hindwing by one 

 composed of crescents. In this band are placed on the hindwing 5 white dots. From Catamarca in Argentina. 



25. Genus: Xeosatyrus Wllgr. 



Antemia with graduallj- thickened, pear-shaped club. Costal and median inflated at the base. Three 

 of the subcostal vems rini mto the costal, two into the distal margin. The middle discocellular vein is angled. 



N. ambiorix JVllgr. (= minimus Btlr.) (51 c). Above brown. Beneath lighter, forewing with red-yellow amhiorix. 

 disc and double eye-spot before the apex, hindwing with a row of 6 white dots, 2 of which are ocellated. 

 Common in Chile to the Ai'gentme border at elevations of from 3000 to 6000 ft. Flies from Decembei to Fe- 

 bruary. From the description and figure I take minimus Btlr. to be a small example of aynbiorix. 



N. simplex Btlr. (Argp'ophenga s.) belongs here according to Elwes. Above unicolorous brown. Beneath simplex. 

 the fore^^ing is brick-colovired orange, with dark costal and distal margins and pale brown iniier margin; a large 

 black eye-spot before the apex with 2 small white pupils and white ring. Hindwing pale brown with a small 

 orange spot in the cell and a small lunular spot between the radials. The species was found at Chilian in Chile 

 by Edmonds in March and on the road from Lolco to Lonquimay by Elwes in January. 



N. vesagus Dhl. (= ochreivittatus Btlr.). Above brown, forewing with a large red-yellow spot between vesagus. 

 the radials. Huld^ving unicolorous brown, or with 3 red-yellow spots between the median veins. Forewing 

 beneath rust-coloured with brown margins and a large, round black eye spot with 2 white pupils and red-yellow 

 iris. Hindwing brown with ochreous band across the middle. Chile. — pusilla Fldr. (Homoeonympha p. = pusilla. 

 \iolaceus Btlr.) is a form of vesagus with a row of whitish yellow dots on the underside of the hindwing. Ac- 

 cording to Elwes boisduvalii Blanch. (51 c) and hahni Mah. probably belong here. 



N. reedii Btlr. (51 c). Above ohve-brown with cupreous gloss and dark margin. Beneath the forewing reedU. 

 is tawny orange, before the apex a small black eye-spot with white pupil and orange ring. Hindwing brown, 

 in the middle with a hght violet-gi'ey band, which is widened at the costal margin, distal margin striped with 

 bro-mi, basal part of the inner margin blackish. From Chile. — fuscescens Btlr. is a smaller form of reedii, the fuscoscens. 

 forewing beneath smoke-brown, with a black dot instead of the eye-spot. From La LTnion in Valdivia. 



N. humilis Fldr. (= Stygnus h.) (51 f). Above brown, without spots. Beneath lighter, forewing with humilis. 

 2 small black, white-pupilled eye-spots between the radials and the 3rd median vein, hindwing with 4 whitish 

 yellow dots in the marginal area. Chile. Common in woods in Valdivia according to Edmonds, rare at Quillen 

 and at Lake Alumine according to Elwes. 



26. Genus: ^STeomaeiias Wllgr. 



Antennae with spindle-shaped club. Palpus projecting far beyond the head, beneath with long hairs. 

 Wings with the margins entire, hindwing rounded. In the forewing the costal and median are inflated at the 

 base. Differing from Epinephele chiefly in the absence of the scent-scale spot on the (J forewing. 



N. servilia Wllgr. ($ = decorata Btlr.) (51 c). Brown, forewing with a red-yellow band beyond the semlia. 

 middle, the median area itself also somewhat dusted with red-yellow, a round black spot before the apex. Hind- 

 wing with narrow red-yeUow submarginal stripe, which in the ^ is broken Up into spots. Beneath the forewing 

 is almost entirely red-yellow with large double eye-spot before the apex. On the hindwing the median band 

 is distally bordered with silver-white. Not rare at Valparaiso and other parts of Chile in February and March. 



N. coenonymphina Btlr. is similar to Spin, pales above, but without the scent-scale spot. Forewing coenonym- 

 beneath brick-coloured with brown margins and an apical ocellus. Hindwing in the basal half dark brown, /''""«• 

 bounded by an angled yellow line, disc yellowish with a black, white-pupilled eye-spot. Distal margin brown 

 with dark dentate submarginal line. The $ is larger, the disc of both wings above ferruginous; on the under 

 .surface the eye-spot of the hindwing is absent. Rare in Valparaiso. December and January. 



N. fractifascia Btlr. Above brown with a red-yellow spot in the middle of the forewing and a black fractifascia.
