the forewings are much more irregular, on the whole larger and form behind the middle a complete, broad, 
postdiscal band. Expanse of wings: 46 mm. Jamaica. 
E. picoides Rothsch. differs from coenobita (25 d) by its creamy ground-colour, the spots on the fore- picoides. 
wings being not so black, more brown, being at the same time larger and inclined to flow together. — From 
Santa Marta, in September and October. 
E. pica Whr. (25 e) is a large, easily recognizable species with yellowish-white forewings being irregu- pica. 
larly spotted black; head and thorax are white, marked black; behind the eyes and on the metathorax there 
are very small orange spots. The abdomen is blackish-brown with broad, orange-yellow, lateral macular 
stripes which are more or less confluent above on the posterior rings. Ventral side for the greatest part 
white. From Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. -—- subsp. tigrata H.-Schdff. (peruviana Schaus) is of a purer ti<jrata.

Costa Rica; Panama; Veneziiela; Peru. 
E. consortum Schaus is on the forewings marked very much like pica (25 e), somewhat smaller and consortium. 
distinguished by the abdomen being above orange; only the last ring and a spot on the penultimate ring 
are black; underneath white, the two last rings and sublateral rows of spots black. Head white, the palpi 
black, at the ends of the joints spotted white. Collar black with 2 large, creamy-white spots; the thorax 
is all white, only on the shoulder-covers and the metathorax there is one black spot each. Expanse of wings: 
40 mm. Costa Rica. 
E. exile Strand (26 1) is closely allied to coenobita and consortum', from the latter it differs by a uni- exile. 
colorously black terminal joint of the palpi, the 1st joint exhibiting a white spot at the tip. Head creamy- 
yellowish with a black forehead. The abdomen is black, with orange lateral stripes which begin narrow, 
growing broader posteriorly and being united on the two last rings. Expanse of wings: 44 mm. Described 
and figured according to a $ from Ecuador (Coll. Niepelt). 
E. tigrisoma Rothsch. approximates the preceding. Head and thorax white, bordered with black, tigrisoma. 
The abdomen above black, the 1st ring and a broad dorsal band slate-grey; the rings 3 to 7 exhibit lateral 
large orange spots. Forewings white with black spots; the disc is crossed by a similar, black oblique band 
like in the allies. The hindwings are diaphanous white in the basal two thirds, the distal third being brown¬ 
ish-grey. Length of forewings: 21mm. Brazil (Preto). 
E. davidi Dogn. (25 e) has a certain exterior resemblance to pica and its allies; head and thorax davidi. 
are white, spotted black. The abdomen is black with orange lateral spots on the rings 3 to 7. The fore¬ 
wings are preponderantly black with irregular white spots, the hindwings hyaline with a black marginal 
band and black veins. Expanse of wings: 44mm. Ecuador; Bolivia. ; —- In clarius (= subsp. 1 Hmps.) clarius. 
nom. nov. the white colour appears more extensive on the forewings; the abdomen has orange lateral spots 
only from the 3rd to 5th rings. Peru. 
E. ockendeni Druce. Body black; sides of the head and collar white. Abdominal sides spotted yellow; ockendeni. 
the first rings beneath white. The markings of the white forew'ng similar as in davidi , but much finer and 
divided into smaller spots. Hindwings transparent white, apex and distal margin black. Expanse of wings: 
52 mm. South East Peru. 
E. varium Wkr. (25 e) is a large species with brown forewings and yellowish-grey veins and linear varium. 
markings. The species is recognizable by a yellowish-grey marginal spot between the lower median and lower 
radial vein with 2 small black spots in it, furthermore a square light spot in the cell-end and the hyaline 
hindwings with a broad, sharply defined black border. The black abdomen is orange-red on the segments 
5 to 7; on the 4th ring there are mostly subdorsal, orange spots. From Panama as far as the Amazon. 
E. steinbachi Rothsch. The head is dark grey, in the neck golclen-yellow; the thorax olive-yelloAV, steinbachi. 
bordered with dark grey; abdomen yellowish carmine, the first 3 rings and the anal tuft with greyish-black 
hair. Forewings olive-yellow, in the marginal area between the 2nd median and 3rd radial cream-coloured, 
covered with sooty grey longitudinal spots and lines forming at the cell-end a more or less distinct, roundish 
spot. Hindwings sooty grey. Length of forewings: 20 mm. East Bolivia. 
E. setosum Sepp (25 f) is widely spread from Mexico to Bahia; it has long-extended, grey-brownish setosum. 
forewings with darker veins bordered with olive-yellow, and with transverse rows of longish, dark-brown, 
yellow-ringed spots; the hindwings are diaphanous light grey, at the border darker. Abdomen like in the 
allies ochreous-yellow with a large, dark brown, triangular basal spot, the apex of which extends as a dorsal 
stripe as far as the black anal apex. Distributed from Mexico to Brazil. — relegatum Schaus from Costa relegation. 
Rica is probably only a somewhat smaller, darker form of it. On the body deeper black, the thorax marked 
brown. Spots of the forewings black, bordered with yellow-reddish. 
E. tnara Kaye approximates setosum, but it is of a purer white and opalescent, with light yellowish mara. 
veins. At the costa there are 3 light yellow spots at equal distances. Hindwings transparent opalescent, the 
veins towards the margin brownish. Expanse of wings: 40mm. Venezuela.
