146 ERIOPYGA. By Dr. M. Draudt. 
E. pyropis Hmps. (21 h) has purple brown forewings dusted with a brick-red colour, with darker 
veins and single transverse lines, the posterior line being dentate; the 8-shaped small reniform macula is whitish, 
above dusted brick-red; undulate line hardly lighter. Costa Rica. 
E. ignescens Hmps. (21 h). Forewing dull brown, suffused with purple red, with indistinct transverse 
lines and a small ochreous-yellow reniform macula dusted with vermilion, the other maculae being absent; the 
ochreous-yellowish undulate line is proximally bordered with dark brown. Hinclwing greyish-brown. Mexico. 
E. iole Schs. (= oviduca Drc.) (21 h) is always easily recognizable by the fine, yellowish-white 
costal margin. Forewing light reddish-brown, the veins scantily strewn with whitish, the transverse lines rather 
indistinct, undulate, the maculae dark, encircled with whitish, the reniform macula strewn with white; the 
undulate line consists of small whitish crescents with brown small sagittae before it. Hindwing light brownish. 
Mexico, Guatemala. 
E. pariole sp. n. (23 d) is somewhat similar, but without the distinct yellowish-white costal margin. 
The reddish-brown forewing is basally, in the costal-marginal area as far as the undulate line and in the indis¬ 
tinctly defined small macular spots lighter yellowish-brownish; transverse lines quite extinct, marked by 
small, faded, dark spots on the veins; the yellowish, cpiite indistinctly defined maculae are darker, pupilled 
more ferruginous-brown; the undulate line consists of small lighter yellowish spots proximally bordered with 
a darker colour, behind it in the somewhat darkened marginal area the veins are somewhat strewn with white 
Hindwing yellowish-white, at the margin smoked. Peru (Pozuzo). 
E. glaucopis Hmps. has bright red-brown forewings with brown transverse lines being bordered with 
grey on the averted sides; the maculae are pupilled olive-brown and encircled with grey, between them a faded 
dark median shade; undulate line double, blackish, filled up with a greyish white. The red-brown hindwing 
is dusted with grey, with brownish-red fringes. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. South East Peru. 
E. rubor Gn. (21 i). Forewing of a bright brownish red with a purple tint, with very indistinct trans¬ 
verse lines and dots on the veins behind the posterior line; the upper macidae are encircled with dark, from 
the reniform macula an oblique undulate median line runs to the proximal margin; the light undulate line 
is proximally bordered with dark. Hindwing yellowish-white, on the veins and margin brownish. Brazil. 
E. leucopera Schs. (21 h) has light pinkish-reddish forewings dusted with ferruginous-brown, with 
brown, on the averted sides white transverse lines, and with black and white dots on the veins behind the distal 
line; the large maculae are darker brown, in whitish rings, the undulate line is whitish, proximally red-brown, 
the marginal area behind it red-brown, at the apex more grey. Hindwing diaphanous white, veins and costal 
margin ochreous-brown. Brazil. 
E. strigiopis Dogn. Forewing ferruginous brown with black and white strewn veins and very light 
brownish transverse lines, the anterior line extending from the ring-macula straight to the proximal margin, 
the posterior line touching the reniform macula, both maculae being large rings encircled with a light colour 
and being sometimes contiguous; behind the distal transverse line black and white dots on the veins; undulate 
line almost straight. Hindwing light grey with reddish fringes. Expanse of wings: 26 to 28 mm. South East 
Peru (Carabaya). 
E. marginalis Schs. (21 h) is very easily recognizable by the contrastingly white subterminal band. 
Forewing red-brown, towards the base mixed with ochreous-yellow, with double transverse lines and yellowish- 
encircled maculae, the reniform macula 8-shaped; behind the distal transverse line there are black and ochreous- 
yellow dots on the veins and behind the cell a wedge-shaped black spot extending into the white band which 
is dusted with olive at the costal margin, proximal margin and in the centre; marginal area red-brown. Hind¬ 
wing dark brown, towards the base lighter. 
E. keela Sm. is allied to vecors (21 h), but it has narrower wings and a more monotonous red-brown 
colour, with rather indistinct markings; both transverse lines double, the posterior line in the distal part more 
punctiform, between them a dark median shade; the maculae are small, the reniform macula is narrow, in 
the centre strangulated, strewn with yellowish and pupilled darker, with a black dot above; the undulate line 
is scaled yellowish, before it a coherent blackish nebulous stripe. Hindwings smoke-grey with a bronze reflection. 
Expanse of wings: 27 to 29 mm. Arizona, in August. 
E. gigas Sm. is on its yellowish ground dusted with a bright brownish-red, with smoke-grey markings; 
both the transverse lines are double, interrupted, the posterior line in the distal part more punctiform, at the 
upper cell-end sharply bent, often with dark and yellowish dots on the veins behind it; median shade bread 
and dark; before the spotted yellow undulate line a coherent narrow shade extends; the maculae are rather 
indistinct, the reniform macula mostly dusted with grey. Hindwing smoke-grey. Expanse of wings: 35 to 
40 mm. South Arizona. 
E. gigantoides B. d- McD. (21 i) is allied to gigas, with narrower wings, of a darker and more 
uniform colouring, without any maculae. Somewhat lustrous purple brown, in the basal area dusted with 
blackish, with double, dentate transverse lines with somewhat lighter fillings, between them a very prominent 
black median shade; undulate line extinct or absent. Hindwing smoke-grey. Expanse of wings: 32 mm. Ari¬ 
zona (White Mts.). 
E. dubia B. & McD. is a very small, delicate species looking almost like a Cerma. Forewing lustrous 
dark grey with quite indistinct markings; the transverse lines are single, the anterior line towards the base
