BUTLER ON THE GENUS EUPTYCHIA. 477 This species may be allied to E. grimon ; but the central lines are very dissimilar in form to those of that insect, they much more nearly resemble those of the next species. 56. EUPTYCHIA EOTJS, sp. n. (PI. XXXIX. fig. 15.) Alar supra olivaceo-fuscar; anticar linea undulata submarginali valde indistincta fusca, margine extremo nigro : posticar puncto subanali nigro ochreo cincto, lineis duabus marginalibus alteraque submarginali fuscis : corpus thorace cinereo, abdomine olivaceo-fusco. Alar subtus pallidiores, lineis duabus mediis valde irregularibus, anticarum apud costam angulatis, posticarum externa ochreo marginata in medio valde producta, linea submarginali, apud apicem anticarum angulis alternis undata, in posticis sinuata et dentata ochreoque marginata, lineis duabus marginalibus ochreum inclu-dentibus, anticarum integris, posticarum undulatis: anticar punctis tribus minutissimis subapicalibus, apicali nigro, secundo nigro argenteo bipupillato, tertio argenteo ,• posticar ocellis quinque submarginalibus ochreo cinctis, primo minimo, quinto maxima, tertio et quarto obsoletis, aliis nigris argenteo pupillatis, primo et quinto bipupillatis: corpus cinereo-fuscum, antennis fuscis nigro acuminatis.

" About 1| inch in expanse. The upperside of the wings blackish brown ; front wings without spots; hind wings with six ocelli, the second and fourth very large, the third double. These ocelli are black, with a double silver pupil and yellow iris. " The underside of the front wings is orange, with the apex rosy grey, and marked by one or two small ocelli; the underside of the hind wings is grey mottled with brown, with the same ocelli as on the opposite side; there are besides on each wing three dark-ferruginous distinctly waved lines-to wit, two near the base, and a third near the outer margin, which is bordered by a black festooned line." -Enc. Meth. Hab. Brazil ; Venezuela. B.M. The Museum specimens of this species vary considerably in size, the largest measuring I X inch in expanse of wings, whilst the smallest only measures lg inch. W e have only one specimen that has no spots in the front wings on the upperside ; all the others have one distinct subapical ocellus. The M S . name of pharella, applied to Mr. Doubleday's species |
