The wings brown, bluish in some parts ; the upperside of the hind wings has near the anal angle a large blackish spot, and near the outer margin, which is more or less dentated, a double sinuated line, uniformly blackish. Below, each wing has a similar marginal line ; and three ferruginous undulated transverse lines may be seen, the outer one separated from the others, but only on the hind wings, by a row of five oval ocelli, the second, third, and fourth very large ; these ocelli, which are surrounded by an iris of orange, are black towards the outer margin of the wing, brown, and covered with silver atoms towards the base. The body is of the same colour as the wings ; the antennae are annulated with brown and white ; the club reddish, with its point black."-Enc. Meth. Hab. Brazil. This species appears to be allied to E. gemmula, but differs in size and in several other more important particulars. 110.
