E. scalaris sp. n. (23 b) is very similar to the preceding, but the abdominal and thoracal hairing is scalar is. 
much shorter. The purple brown forewing is more coarsely strewn with violettish-white, the subterminal area 
particularly towards the proximal margin the most intensely; the anterior transverse line pointedly projects 
into the cell and on the median pointedly towards the margin as far as the ring-macula scalariformly, the 
posterior line is strongly curved round the reniform macula; above the middle of the light yellowish undulate 
line there is a slight red-brown shading; on the margin there are high dark brown triangles. Hindwing whitish, 
at the costal and distal margins smoky. Colombia (Quindiu Pass). 
E. prasinocyma sp. n. (23 b). Forewing quite light flesh-coloured reddish, scantily and coarsely strewn yrasinocy- 
with black, in the basal area, in the distal half of the discal area, before the undulate line, on the fringes, 
and in the maculae yellowish-green, the transverse lines only marked by the contrast of the colours; behind 
the distal line single black dots on the veins, and the undulate line is marked by similar dots; in the upper 
and lower ends of the reniform macula there is one thick black dot each. Hinclwing light reddish-grey with 
yellowish-greenish fringes. 1 $ from the Quindiu Pass (Colombia) at an altitude of 3500 m, taken by Fassl. 
E. stenonephra sp. n. (23 b) has very light violettish-brownish forewings scantily strewn with black, stenoneph- 
at the costal margin as far as the cell-end more brownish-red as well as in the marginal area, with quite 
similarly arranged markings as in the preceding; the transverse lines are marked by somewhat more intensely 
accumulated black or brown scales, the posterior line exhibiting a very oblique course with a row of black, 
partly distally white-pupilled dots on the veins; the reniform macula is remarkably oblique, very narrow and 
long, brownish-red, encircled with light and dark, the narrow, oblong ring-macula is very indistinct and exactly 
parallel to the former; the undulate line consists of a double black line the distal part of which dies away 
towards the apex in an oblique diffuse spot parting the apex. Hindwing yellowish-white with scarcely darker 
fringes. 1 $ from the Quindiu Pass (Colombia), taken by Fassl. 
E. lodebar Drc. (20 h). This species and the next 4 exhibit in the d a basally very convex costa lodebar. 
which is beneath clad with a dense fur of downward hair, towards which erect scales are running from below 
the cell, and also the whole hindwing is clad with coarse erect scales, the costal margin exhibiting long scales 
turned downward. Head and collar are recldish-yellow in contrast with the deep purple broAvn forewing, the 
transverse lines are on the averted sides bordered with grey; only the triangular reniform macula is present, 
in the <$ brown, in a grey ring, in the $ almost white and situate in a deeper blackish-brown discal area, 
and from it an undulate dark median line extends to the proximal margin; before the grey undulate line 
there are small dark sagittae. Hindwing dark brown. From Costa Rica. 
E. orbica Hmps. (= lodebar Drc. pro parte) (20 g, h) is very similar, but easily separated by the smaller, orbica. 
roundish reniform macula. Distributed from Mexico to Guatemala. 
E. lamaris Btlr. (= cynica Drc.) (20 h) has a red-brown forewing with almost straight transverse lines, lanaris. 
being on the averted sides bordered with a lighter colour, with a thick black dot before the anterior line on the 
proximal-marginal vein, and a double row of dots on the veins behind the distal line; the large maculae are 
finely encircled with light, the elliptical ring-macula is above open, the reniform macula is proximally produced 
on the median, the yellowish undulate line is on both sides bordered with brown. Hindwing reddish or yellowish- 
brown. The $ is darker with more distinctly prominent light markings. From Mexico to Ecuador and Bolivia. 
E. nioderata Wkr. (20 i) is similarly marked, somewhat smaller, and olive-brown with a silky lustre; nioderata. 
the black dot before the anterior transverse line is absent, the row of dots behind the distal line is indistinct 
and only single; the large maculae are confluent below. Colombia. 
E. turrialba Schs. (20 g). Forewing copper-reddish or violettish-brown, in the cell darker, the median turrialba. 
yellowish-white; the transverse lines are black, the anterior lines bordered with yellowish-white; the posterior 
line followed by double dots on the veins, separated by white; the reniform macula is distally yellowish-white, 
above it at the costal margin an oblique, yellowish-white line bordered with black; veins in the marginal area 
dark and strewn with grey. Hindwing brownish-grey with pink fringes. Expanse of wings: 30 mm. Costa-Rica 
(Volcano of Turrialba). 
E. dolia Dyar in the colour and marking so entirely resembles lanaris (20 h) that it is scarcely separable dolia. 
in the exterior, but the distal transverse line is not so strongly flawed below the costal margin, and between 
it and the subterminal line there is a prominent dark rust-brown costal shade. The $ is easily distinguished 
by the hindwing not being coarsely scaled. Peru. 
E. crenulata Btlr. (= infirma Gn. part., cynica Drc. part., lodebar Drc. part.) (20 i) is also very much crenuluta. 
like lanaris (20 h), but on the forewing beneath it exhibits long hair (not scales) turned downward at the 
costal margin and in and behind the cell, the hindwing likewise exhibiting hair within the cell and rough 
scales at the costal margin. This is the typical species from the eastern parts of North America, from Canada 
to Missouri and Colorado. The southern representatives have been separated from it, and as the differences 
are also great in the secondary sexual marks, we enumerate them in the following as separate species.
