E. ditissima Wkr. (21 b) is a common, beautiful, large species, of a bright orange strewn with fiery red, 
at the proximal margin and in the marginal area dusted with greyish-brown, with dentate transverse lines, 
easily recognizable by the white dots distally bordering on the reniform macula. The wdiitish hindwing is 
brownish on the veins and at the margin. Mexico to Colombia. 
E. fuscescens sp. n. (21 a) is extraordinarily similar to ditissima, but it seems anyhow to be a different 
species, because the reniform macula is differently shaped; the ground-colour of the forewing is a dark greyish 
brown without any yellow and red tints; the distal white bordering of the reniform macula is quite straight 
and is absent on the proximal side except a white dot at the lower end. From Costa Rica (Volcano of Irazu). 
E. janeira Schs. (21 b). Forewing brownish-red, except the proximal area and the postmedian area 
dusted with a greyish-brown, with very indistinct, posteriorly dentate transverse lines; maculae indistinctly 
defined, the reniform macula above reddish, in the lower half pupilled brownish-grey with a white dot distally; 
the undulate line consists of small, indistinct, darker spots. Hindwing brownish-grey. Brazil. 
E. perrubra Hmps. (23 c). Forewing fiery red, the costal margin and cell dusted with brown and strewn 
with white; the double brown transverse lines are rather indistinct, the anterior line at the costal margin 
proximally scaled white, the posterior line finely dentate and filled up somewhat whitish; the maculae are 
white and finely surrounded with brown. The reniform macula is pupilled brown, with a white line in the 
centre and on the median proximally produced, and from it a faded, oblique median shade extends to the 
proximal margin; the undulate line consists of white small lunae bordered with brown. Hindwing brownish 
with red fringes. Expanse of wings: 44 mm. Peru. 
E. punetulum Gn. (21 b). The ochreous forewing is dusted with red-browm, the transverse lines are 
double, the posterior line is extended into dots on the veins; instead of the ring-macula a minute blackish 
spot, the reniform macula is yellowish, below brownish-grey with 2 white dots distally; the undulate line is 
yellowish with black dots and darker striped veins of the marginal area behind it. The yellowish-white hind¬ 
wing is dusted with a brownish grey. Brazil. — The form desnuda Dogn. from Ecuador is of a purer brown 
colour. 
E. eugrapha Hmps. Forewing light reddish, thickly strewn with a dark red-brown, in the marginal 
area dusted with brown, with black transverse lines bordered with a light red, the posterior line double, 
dentate; the large maculae are pupilled blackish-brown, in light red rings and finely surrounded with black, 
the reniform macula with two white dots below, between both a dark brown median shade; the white undulate 
line is on both sides spotted black. Hindwing reddish-brown. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Peru (Uruhuasi). 
E. polygrapha Hmps. Forewing light red-brown, strewn darker with double brown transverse lines the 
posterior of which is distally extended into dots on the veins; the ring-macula is marked by 4 black dots with 
a black central shade, the reniform macula is laterally dotted black, below filled up with black and with a white 
dot in the lower cell-angle, with a flawed median shade between both maculae; the undulate line consists of 
small blackish spots. Hindwing reddish-brown with yellowish-white fringes. Expanse of wings: 40 to 46 mm. 
Peru. —- From Bolivia (Cuesta de Cillutincara) is a smaller, darker, more greyish-brown form before us, with 
a slight coppery reddish reflection: cuprina form. nov. (23 c) which presumably belongs to it. — Apparently 
the same species is in numbers of both sexes before us, having been taken by Fassl, from the Quindiu Pass 
in Colombia and also from Mt. Tolirna, and exhibiting a much darker form which I denominate: monotona 
form. nov. (23 c); it is more blackish-brown with a coppery tint and the white scaling is almost entirely absent 
except in the reniform macula. 
E. advena sp. n. (23 d) resembles in the $ the European Aplecta advena (Ad. 3, t. 19 a). Forewing red- 
brown. dusted with purple grey, with single blackish transverse lines and dots on the veins behind the distal 
line; the maculae are finely encircled with dark, the reniform macula is filled up with reddish or yellowish 
and in the lower end pupilled black; the undulate line is marked by more or less double rows of black moon- 
spots growing larger and deeper black behind the cell. Hindwing brownish-grey with yellowish fringes parted 
by a black line. The $ shows much clearer markings on a lighter yellowish-brown or reddish-brown ground. 
In both sexes from Bolivia (Cuesta de Cillutincara), taken by Fassl. 
E. sutrix sp. n. (23 d) reminds us of a large Perigea sutor ; forewing loam-coloured yellowish, densely 
strewn with black, with double dentate transverse stripes filled up with a scarcely lighter colour, and the 
upper maculae incompletely surrounded with dark, the reniform macula in the lower half pupilled blackish 
and on either side with one indistinct white dot; the undulate line consists of quite indistinct lighter, small 
moon-spots proximally bordered with a darker colour; the veins in the marginal area are very scantily strewn 
with white. Hindwing dark brownish-grey with light yellowish-white fringes parted by a dark line. 1 $ from 
Pacho (Colombia) at an altitude of 2200 m. 
E. mucorea sp. n. (23 d). Thorax and forewing of a warm red-brown, metathorax of the colour of 
a grey-horse like the markings which are strewn on the wings in the shape of spots and border on both 
sides on the dentate dark brown transverse lines, behind the distal one of which there are blackish-grey and 
grey-horse coloured dots on the veins; grey are besides the fillings of the maculae centrally pupilled red- 
brown as well as large, roundish spots partly strewn with blackish in the marginal area behind the cu- 
cullately dentate undulate line, the largest being situate at the apex; the discal spots recede somewhat,
