the margin behind it broadly shaded with a brownish grey. Hindwing extensively light brown, in the costal 
portion greyish white, with a dark antemedian line and an irregular subterminal line. Brazil. 
E. genesa Schs. (84 a) is very similar, with longer wings, duller, the basal portion, body, and hindwing 
brownisli-grey, the white colour not so irregularly strewn, powdered more with a grey sand-colour, the discal 
spot dull, postmedian line very distinctly double, subterminal line less strong, nearer to the margin, its 2 costal 
spots very long. Hindwing in the apical half of the costal margin white, the subterminal line recedes very far 
inwards between 5 and 6. Brazil (Castro; Sao Paulo). 
E. victoris Dogn. (84 a) is very similar to genesa, it is of a darker ashy grey ground-colour, the 
basal area dull brownish grey, the discal spot entirely absent, the postmedian line outside only accompanied 
by an indistinct shadow, the distinct coherent subterminal line farther removed from the margin. According 
to a bred $ from Loja (Ecuador). 
E. deusta H.-S. (84 b) belongs to the same group as the preceding species, the ground-colour is a 
soft ashy grey with a slight lilac tint, the basal area strewn with red brown, outside defined by a distinct, 
notched, blackish-brown line, with a thick round discal spot, the blackish-brown notched postmedian line 
outside accompanied by a fine red-brown shadow; subterminal line beginning with a red-brown costal-marginal 
spot and receding between 4 and 6 in the shape of 2 thicker spots. Hindwing in the anal-marginal portion 
only slightly darkened by brownish, with a distinct fine postmedian line as far as beyond the cell, without 
or with a subterminal line which recedes between 4 and 6 in a large bow and comes very close to the margin 
between 4 and 3. A most variable, common species from Costa Rica to Brazil. 
E. certina Drc. (84b) is very similar to deusta , much smaller, darker violettish-grey, the basal area 
more extensive, so that it extends near to the discal spot, the postmedian line single, extending from 6 almost 
straight to the inner margin. On the hindwing characterised by the straight median line beginning from the 
centre of the costal margin and narrowing down into the anal angle; the subterminal line extends only to 3. 
From the Chiriqui (Panama). 
E. contubernalis sp. n. (84 b) is very similar to deusta and may be a Colombian form of it. Ground¬ 
colour violettish grey, basal area dark brown, intensely mixed with black, the proximal half of the median 
area light silvery grey, between the discal spot and basal area almost white, behind the discal spot between 
3 and 6 with a large dark grey spot, the postmedian line outside bordered with light rusty yellowish and strewn 
with red-brown; subterminal line composed of small black sagittary spots, almost parallel to the margin, 
between 4 and 6 transformed into a large blackish-grey spot which, however, hardly recedes; before the 
fringes being very brightly speckled black and light ochreous, there is on the light yellow ground a rusty brown 
marginal line. Hindwing in the basal and anal-marginal area light brown, in the apical portion of the costal 
margin and at the distal margin violettish-grey, the median line as in certima , the subterminal line composed 
of very thick blackish-grey spots, very irregular, before the fringe with a light yellow' marginal line. Prothorax 
almost whitish. Type: 1 <$ from Villavicencio (Colombia) in the Coll. Bang-Haas. 
E. efferata sp. n . (84 b) may be another form of deusta', the marking is the same as in certima. Forewing 
brownish-grey, densely strewn with dark brown, so that the basal area is but slightly darker; discal spot very 
small; postdiscal line single, shaped as in deusta , at the costal margin behind it a white brightening, the subtermi¬ 
nal line rather indistinct, receding a little between 4 and 6 as a large spot, the veins in the subterminal and 
marginal areas distinctly black. Hindwing lighter violettish-grey, only towards the base darkened brown 
by the median line which is shaped as in certima ; subterminal line slightly curved, more regular than in the 
similar species, inside shaded by a brownish grey, outside narrowly bordered with light, the dark fringes 
on the ends of the veins hardly lighter, slightly speckled with yellowish, at the tips whitish. Type: 1 <$ from 
Rio Grande do Sul in the Coll. Wernicke, Dresden. 
E. praedicabilis sp. n. (84 b). Forewing light bluish ashy grey, basal area rusty yellow', strewn with 
black and edged by a black dentate line, behind it with some silvery grey scales, discal spot black, angular close 
behind it, the outermost costal margin narrow light yellow, the postmedian line hardly indicated, only at the 
costal and inner margins better visible, subterminal line likewise only composed of very feeble, small wedge- 
shaped spots of a slightly darker brownish-grey colour, of the same shape as in deusta ; the light yellowish- 
white fringes between the veins blackened. H indwing very similar to some deusta. basal area light brown, 
anal margin broadly covered with blackish-brown hairs, the postmedian line in the costal portion very thick, 
the subterminal line feeble, receding in a flat bow between 4 and 6. Body ashy grey, the abdomen particularly 
at the base somewhat more brownish. Type: 1 <$ from Campo Bello, Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) in the Coll. W. 
Hopp, (harlottenburg. 
E. divulsa sp. n. (84 b). Near to varma Schs. Forewing on the whitish ground densely strewn with 
a violettish pink and chestnut-brown, in the basal area blackish-grey intermixed with white scales like the 
thorax; discal streak small, between it and the basal area a small white spot; veins fine red-brown, strewn 
with black and white, postmedian line quite shadow-like, intensified by fine black vein-dots, particularly at 
the costal margin outside feebly powdered with whitish; subterminal line just as shadow-like, outside somewhat 
more distinctly bordered with whitish; fringes blackish-grey. Hindwing producing the same impression as
