E. niepelti sp. n. (133 c, d). A magnificent species; almost the whole forewing like the body fiery rusty niepelli. 
brown except 2 yellow basal spots, a slight yellow brightening around the latter, very large slate-black contiguous 
discal spots, a small apical triangle and the marginal area behind the exterior transverse line which contains 
some red clouds; the whole surface of the wings is speckled with blackish slate-colour; the upper exterior 
marginal half as far as up to the apex violettish-grey dusted with white. Hind wing yellow, a rusty brown 
longitudinal band below the cell is fused with a very broad exterior transverse band; discal spot as on forewing, 
above it another smaller one; margin narrowly red-brown. Under surface: disc in both wings suffused with 
salmon-colour and densely white-haired, so that the violettish-grey transverse bands look as if milk had been 
poured on them. The $ is quite cinnamon-red. $ from Guatemala e Coll. Bang-Haas. According to 2 d'c? 
from West Colombia (Bella Vista). Type in the Coll. Niepelt. 
E. tyranrsus sp. n. (133 c) is allied to niepelti, but the forewing with a sharper apex is of a deeper brown tyrannus. 
cinnamon-colour, not speckled at all, with an ochreous basal spot, a broad yellow brightening before the smaller 
and distinctly white-centred discal spots; transverse lines darker brown, not slaty black, interior line broad, 
indistinct, exterior line quite straight, only the lower half outside narrowly edged with yolk-colour; marginal 
area cinnamon-brown except a subapical triangular and an anal area, between them violettish-grey. Hind wing 
purely yellow only in the costal-marginal third, as well as in a narrow inner-marginal stripe and behind the 
narrow transverse line extending similarly as in penelope ; marginal area broad cinnamon-brown, warming into 
purple grey distally; discal spot as on forewing. Abdomen with yellow bands. West Colombia (Bella Vista); 
type in the Coll. Niepelt. 
E. aglia Fldr. (133 c). For this species the genus Bathyphlebia was established, but it is a genuine aglia. 
Fades, which may be considered as an extreme branch of tyr annus. Fore wing rusty brown, yellow in some 
places, as in tyrannus; transverse lines thick black, the large discal spot black, with a white centre and yellow 
ring, a large yellow triangle before the apex. Hindwing yellow in the costal-marginal half, otherwise red- 
brown with a large black white-ringed ocellus as on the forewing, behind it a black transverse stripe which is 
incurved towards the interior angle. Colombia (Bogota). 
E. gschwandneri Schaw. may lie a form of aglia, though it looks rather different. It is larger, deeper gschwand- 
chestnut-brown, yellow are only the head and collar, the 1st abdominal segment and a small basal spot; the 
anterior black transverse line is absent altogether, the posterior one is scarcely visible and separates the brown 
ground-colour from a snow-white band extending from the apex to the 3rd quarter of the inner margin; the 
small punctiform discal spot is white without the black border; hindwing yellow in the costal-marginal portion, 
the white ocellus very large and with a deep black ring; the transverse stripe is broadly edged with white also 
here, and extends straight into the inner margin. According to 1 d from the Volcano of Tolima (Colombia). 
E. mayi Schs. (= lombardi Bouv.) (133 d) is closely allied to barnesi and niepelti, but much smaller, mayi. 
the apex of the forewing more produced; forewing yellow, speckled blackish, suffused with red-brown basally, 
in the disc and behind the cell, with 2 smaller slaty grey round spots scarcely lighter centred at the cell-end; 
the anterior transverse stripe is quite extinct, the posterior one straight from the apex to % inner margin, 
broad, brownish-red, the margin behind it suffused with violettish-grey. Hindwing purer yellow in the basal 
half, a basal spot and the margin broad red-brown, discal spot more intensely centred white. Brazil, but 
apparently more widely distributed, for a $ is before me from Guatemala, e Coll. Bang-Haas, which we figure 
and which only differs from the type in the discal spot of the hindwing being quite red-brown. 
E, eminens Dogn. (133 d) has much broader wings than the preceding species, much more extensively emlnens. 
yellow, so in a large apical triangle and in the lower half of the fore wing also before the exterior transverse 
stripe; both the discal spots of the forewing and that of the hindwing brightly centred with white; the broad 
red-brown band of the hindwing, which is shaped similarly as in niepelti , is broadly confluent with the margin 
in the upper half; the $ is quite yellow, little and finely speckled. Ecuador. 
E. adoxa Jord. is allied to eminens; smaller, distal margin of forewing slightly concave, posterior angle adoxa. 
less rounded; marginal area except a small anal spot quite dark reddish-brown, more extensively dusted with 
grey than in eminens. Hindwing oval, the whole distal half deep tan-coloured brown with an interrupted 
yellow anal spot; discal line outside narrowly bordered with yellow. Expanse of wings: 42 mm. According 
to 1 $ from British Guiana. 
E. masoni Schs. (131 c) recalls tyrannus, but the apex of the wing is much sharper, more sickle-shaped; masoni. 
the bright red-brown colour is covered by a duller violettish-grey; yellow remains an area before the interior 
transverse line, a large apical triangle and a narrow anal area behind the exterior transverse line, also a narrow 
area behind that of the hindwing; discal spots of the forewing very insignificant. Mexico to Panama, 
fulvaster Rothsch., from South-Eastern Peru, has a deeper yellow ground-colour, the reddish dusting is more fulvaster. 
extensive and prominent, with a larger yellow spot at the apex of the cell, whilst the anterior cellular spot is 
entirely absent. Ventrum and face reddish; genitals very different. 
E. acuta Schs. (= callopteris Rothsch.) is very similar to masoni, but somewhat smaller, the forewing acuta. 
still narrower and more pointed, the postdiscal line is nearer at the margin and, like the marginal band, suffused 
with reddish-violet, like the basal and discal portions, too; a broad yellow band before the posterior transverse
