degree forms a transition to the following species: the white dorsal spots are smaller, all the hyaline spots on 
the wings likewise smaller, on the forewings the spots below the upper radial are absent altogether. 
E. sarama Dogn. (22 d) resembles the preceding, but the abdomen does not exhibit any white dorsal 
spots. The hyaline spots of the forewings are smaller, and there are only three: below the middle of the cell, 
in the cell-end, and above the upper radial, the latter occasionally with a punctiform spot below it; the 
hyaline spots on the forewings, being likewise much smaller, are situate below the cell, and a very small one 
at the proximal margin, one behind the cell. Venezuela. 
E. dorata Dogn. has a black body. Between the eyes and on the collar white dots. Spots on the thorax, 
one dorsal and on each side a double lateral row of spots on the abdomen are golden; underside white. Forewings 
bronze-golden, at the costal base a white dot; between the median veins is a round, white spot. Hindwings 
dull black with an oblong coiled and 2 connected small hyaline spots. Expanse of wings: 49 mm. Ecuador 
(Loja). 
E. consors Schaus (22 e). Body black; forehead, collar, shoulders, shoulder-covers, and posterior 
femora with white dots, hips white. Abdomen with broad, golden green lateral stripes, and dorsal and 
subdorsal rows of white spots. Forewings golden green with black veins and a broad black distal margin; 
in the upper cell-end a small hyaline spot and a small dot behind it above the upper radial vein. Hindwings 
black, in the cell and towards the apex with a green lustre, below the cell with some small hyaline stripes which 
may be reduced to a single one ( = ab. 1 . Hmps.). Expanse of wings: 50 mm. Peru, Bolivia. 
E. psittacus Schaus (22 c) has unmarked wings being dusted quite unicolorously with green. The body 
is black, on the forehead, collar, shoulders, metathorax, and femora white spots. The abdomen is laterally 
striped green and shows dorsal and sublateral rows of white spots; the posterior margins of the last segments 
are yellowish-white. Peru and Bolivia. 
122. Genus: Diaxanthia Hmps. 
The anterior body is rather hairy, the palpi are haired above. The forewings exhibit the usual neuration; 
on the hindwings the lower median vein rises before the lower cell-angle, the upper one from it; the lower radial 
vein is absent; the middle radial vein strongly bent from below the middle of the cell. Only one species: 
D. lucinia Druce (22 e) has a black body with metallic blue spots. The black forewings exhibit 
an orange-yellow oblique band extending perhaps from the middle of the innermarginal vein to the middle 
radial towards the margin; the costal base is orange, too. The hindwings are orange with a black marginal 
band. Occurring from Costa Rica (Irazu) as far as Panama (Chiriqui). 
123. Genus: Ti|>ulo«les Bsd. 
Only two small species with long, narrow wings, being characterized by the upper median and lower 
radial vein of the hindwing rising on a joint, long pedicle from the lower cell-angle; the 2nd median vein rises 
below it, the middle radial above it; on the forewings the 1st median and the 1st radial vein rise from beloAv 
the corresponding cell-angles. 
T. ima Bsd. (22 e). The easily recognizable, small, black and red animal is widely distributed in 
Brazil, as well as in Paraguay. 
T. rubriceps Dogn. (22 e) from Colombia is smaller, it has an entirely red head and collar, and the 
red longitudinal band of the forewing is narrower and ends more pointedly. 
124. Genus: Gallopepla Hmps. 
Separated from the following, very similar genus by the uppermost subcostal vein of the forewing, 
rising on a common pedicle with the other subcostal veins. On the hindwings both the lower radial veins come 
from above the lower cell-angle. 
C. inachia Schaus (= katima Schaus) (22 e). Black, on the anterior body and legs spotted metallic 
blue; abdomen of a brilliant blue, the forehips in the white. Forewings black, at the proximal margin, vein 
1 and above it fine orange stripes with an oblique orange band behind the cell. Hindwings black, in the basal 
half metallic blue. In the the orange oblique spot is united with spots in the cell to a large, triangular 
discal spot. Expanse of wings: 38 mm. Brazil, Paraguay. 
C. grandis Rothsch. Head with antennae and thorax greyish-black. The abdomen is above light 
metallic blue, beneath brownish-black. Forewings black, in the cell with spot-like orange scales, the proximal
