E. reversa sp. n. (82 d) is very similar to ocyroe, with clearer markings and at once discernible by 
the reversedly coloured hindwing the costal-marginal half of which is broadly rusty brown, the anal-marginal 
portion being light whitish; also the body and the inner margin of the forewing are mixed with rusty red. 
According to 1 $ from the Rio Songo (Fassl). Type in the Berlin Museum. 
E. sommeri sp. n. (82 c) is much smaller than the preceding species and much lighter, white, with the 
same characteristical upturned hairing being composed of black, rusty yellow, and white hairs; scheme of 
marking the same as in ocyroe. but the black discal spot removed very much farther outwards; the white undulating 
line as in claudia, with rounder arches than in ocyroe , the black spots before it as in claudia. Hindwing almost 
white, in the anal-marginal third powdered with brown, with a distinct subterminal line composed of small 
spots, and blackish fringes which are crossed by whitish on the ends of the veins. Thorax clad with long, 
black and white hair, with a contrastingly bright copper or bronze coloured prothoracal tuft, also the strong 
abdominal tufts being bronze-brown, intermixed with thick bluish-black hairs. Described according to 3 
type e Coll. Sommer in the Berlin Museum, habitat not mentioned; a larger with somewhat brighter 
colours, which we figure, in the Coll. W. Hopp, Charlottenburg, from Sao Paulo. 
E. submarginalis Wkr. (= praxithea Drc.) (82 e) belongs yet to the same group, being the most 
closely allied to ocyroe. larger, darker and much more monotonously olive blackish, marking entirely obliterated, 
only the white pointed arches of the undulating line with a larger white anal spot are distinct, the rest of the 
marking being composed of very indistinct darker wavy lines. The $ is much larger and more monotonous, 
more scantily scaled, the very large dorsal tufts on the abdomen intermixed with thick steel-blue spatulate 
hairs. Mexico to Colombia and Brazil, everywhere common. 
E. catenifera sp. n. (82 e) is likewise allied with the preceding ones; forewing greyish-brown, the 
erect hair shorter, blackish, with a large triangular velvety blackish-brown basal spot not reaching the costal 
and inner margins, with a thick round discal spot; the median area is shaped as in claudia , not darker, edged by 
faded darker transverse bands; the undulate-linear spots as in claudia, but representing thicker and rounder 
black spots, the two situate between the radial branches combined forming a large, inwardly removed 
triangular sj^ot, outside with a hardly lighter border, without the white arches of the undulating line of the 
preceding species. Hindwing duller brownish-grey, the spots of the undulating line feebly darker, in the centre 
of the costal margin with a large black spot distally edged with whitish. According to 1 $ from Sarayacu (East 
Peru). Type in the Berlin Museum in the Coll. Staudinger ; also from Macas (Ecuador). 
E. princeps Dogn. (82 f) as well as the following riphea are distinguished by orange-red and chalky white 
strewing with peculiar thick scales in the basal half between the submedian and cell. Forewing brown, in the 
basal two thirds darker; antemedian line only indicated by whitish double streaks at the costal and inner mar¬ 
gins, the white postmedian line being double; subterminal line composed of white lunar streaks which are inwards 
shaded with blackish. The brown hindwing with a strongly notched subterminal line and half double post¬ 
median line. Abdomen with dark and light rings. Guiana; Amazons. 
E. riphea Stoll (82 f). This beautiful species is evidently very similar to princeps and exhibits the same 
orange colouiing of the submedian base and chalky white scales strewn on it. Forewing lighter reddish-brown, 
marked as princeps, but unmistakable by the median area in the disc being filled with a deep brownish black. 
Surinam; 1 $ which we figure from Sao Paulo, in the Berlin Museum. The species seems to be uncommonly rare. 
E. rivulosa Dm. Kirby considers this very questionable species to be synonymous with riphea, but 
Schaus is of a different opinion. The figure is too indistinct, and the species will probably never be identified. 
Surinam. 
E. lucilla Stoll has remained unknown to me. The figure represents a large species, the marking and 
whole habitus undoubtedly recalls princeps, but with much broader wings. Blackish-brown, forewing particu¬ 
larly at the base strewn with black, with 3 light yellowish-brown postmedian transverse bands, the subterminal 
band inside bordered with blackish spots; on the hindwing two transverse bands and a broad blackish, distally 
whitish subterminal band are indicated, extending to the anal margin. Surinam. 
E. ornata Stoll (= phidonia Stoll, ornanda Hhn.) (82 f). Distinguished by the long narrow shape of the 
wings. Forewing greyish-wite, with fine brown veins, with a darker irroration and 3 transverse lines, the two 
first of which are mostly indistinct, the subterminal line forming very high pointed dents on the veins. Ab¬ 
domen and anal-marginal half of hindwing red-brown, the hindwing with a sharply notched subterminal line 
distally bordered with whitish. Costa Rica; Guiana to Brazil. 
E. phedonioides Schs. is very similar to ornata, but smaller, ligther, and with less long forewings. Whitish- 
grey, finely strewn with brown; postmedianly with short white vein-streaks, before them dark brown, the 
deeply dentate subterminal line dark grey, the brown fringes feebly speckled with white, in the centre of the 
inner margin with a blackish-brown spot. Abdomen and hindwing ochreous brown, the latter with a feeble dark 
median line. Expanse of wings: 37 mm. Costa Rica.
