ETEONA. By G. Weymer. 243 



E. lefebvrei G^»er. (= montroliiii'eis?7i.) (52 b). Above brown with a red-brown submarginal band which lefebvrei. 

 is strongly constricted in places and on the forewing interrupted by the brown veins. Before the apes of the 

 forewmg are placed on this band some ochreous longitudinal rays and 2 dark brown spots. There are sometimes 

 also a small brown spot in cellule 2 and a browii spot in the same cellule of the hindwing. The basal and 

 median areas are strongly diisted with red-brown. On the under surface the forewing is rust-brown to the sub- 

 marginal band, the band ochre-yellow, anteriorly white, the 3 dark spots black with white pupils. The distal margin 

 is brown. Across the middle of the hindM'mg runs a dentate dark brown band, basally blurred, distally as a 

 rule sharply defined. Then follows a grej'-white submarginal band sprinkled with brown and then the dark 

 bro-^vn distal margm. The $ is considerably larger, having an expanse of 70 mm. The basal half of both 

 wings is almost entirely red-brown, the anterior dark spot has a white centre and the under surface is lighter 

 than in the ^. — The larva is hght brown with black longitudinal lines. Head large, with 2 black lines and a 

 Hght spiracular line, bordered with black beneath; the dorsum is somewhat darker brown, the anal extremity 

 with 2 points. It is full-grown in October and Hves on "Coligne" (Chusquea sp. ?). The pupa is Hght brown 

 with some black streaks and spots. The butterfly appears in November and December and is locally common 

 in Chile, but more in the plains than in the mountains. It occurs also in Argentina and Uruguay. 



E. vanessoides Blanch. (52 b). Similar to the preceding species, but somewhat smaller. The hindwing vamssoides. 

 is elongate and less dentate. The band is lighter and the dark brown spots in cellule 2 are absent on both 

 wings above and on the forewing beneath. The dark brown spots before the apex of the forewing have no white 

 pupils on either surface. Hindwing marbled with light and dark brown, crossed by a curved white stripe, inter- 

 rupted on vein 5. Beyond this a submarginal band, which is somewhat lighter than the ground-colour and 

 bears in cellule 2 a dark browTi spot with red-yeUow ring. From Valdivia in Chile, where it is not rare. 



E, calvertii Ehc. A small species with the distal margin of the forewing straight. The (J above dark calvertii. 

 brown, with 2 small, obscure red-broM'n submarginal spots in cellules 2 and 3 on both wings. Beneath the 

 forewing is browni. at the base dark red-yellow to the middle, with a broad, straight red-yellow submarginal 

 band, in which is placed before the apex a round black spot with ochre-yellow ring. The hindwing is marbled 

 with Hght and dark brown, with a large white spot at the apex, strongly sprinkled with brown ; a row of 

 white dots is placed before the distal margin. The $ shows an increase in the number of the red-brown spots 

 on the upper surface, on the forewing browii dots are placed in these spots and the eye-spot of the under surface 

 shows through above. On the underside of the hindwing tlie white spot at the apex forms the beginning of 

 an ochre-yeUow band, irrorated with brown, which is continued to the inner margin. The distal margin of the 

 hindwing is only sHghtly undulate in the $. The ^ has on the upperside of the hindwing a spot of velvety 

 scales. Xot rare in a wood below the Banos of Chilian in Chile, in December. Also found at Lake Quillen in 

 Argentina (Elwes). 



E. nemyrioides Blanch. (= nemyroides Reed, neomyrioides Elw.) (52 b). The distal margin of the fore- nemyrioi- 

 wing before the apex produced into an obtuse angle, in the (^ somewhat more than in the $. Otherwise i*^®- 

 verj' similar to the preceding species; the cJ has the same spot of velvety dark brown scales in the middle 

 of the forewing. Beyond this spot the ground-colour is strongly mixed with red-brown. The under surface, 

 which is here figured, is very similarly marked to that of calvertii, but the white spot at the costal margin of the 

 hindwing is purer white in nemyrioides and is continued as a dentate white line to the inner angle. In the (J 

 the red-brown band on the underside of the forewing occurs also on the upperside in the same breadth and 

 encloses here Hkewise a round black apical spot. The hindwing in the $ has on the upper surface a submarginal 

 row of small red-yellow spots and on the under surface the white spot at the costal margin is much larger. 

 From Chile, at the Baths of Chilian and in Valdivia (according to Edmonds), at San Ignacio and Port Blest 

 (according to Elwe.s). Not common in the Cjntral Provinces, but less rare in Valdivia (Reed). Flies January 

 to March. 



38. Genus: JBteoiia Westv). 



The shape of the wings is about the same as in Elina, the distal margin of the forewing is undulate 

 and has below the apex an obtuse angle, that of the hindwing is dentate, but the inner margin of the latter is 

 not excised. Only the costal of the forewing is inflated, the other veins are normal. In the 9 2 of the subcostal 

 veins of the forewing arise before the end of the cell, the rest behind it; in the ^ on the other hand only one 

 before the end of the cell, whilst the 2nd arises exactly at the angle. The butterflies inhabit South Brazil. 



E. tisiphone Bd.v. (Euterpe t.) (52 a). Above dark brown with a row of yellowish white spots across twiphone. 

 both wings, covering the greater part of the hindwing, but on the forewing mostly obsolescent in the ^. Single 

 ^^ have the forewing above entirely black-brown. On the under surface the ground-colour is lighter, the veins 

 black, and between them are placed black longitudinal rays and short white longitudinal streaks. The macular 

 band is pure white and in the rj also extends to the costal margin of the forewing. The spots are individually 

 smaller, but their number is larger in both sexes than above. The butterfly is distributed in South Brazil
