The asteroid 164 Eva was observed photoelectrically at CTIO, Chile, during its September 1979 opposition. A new rotation period of P = 13h.66 ± 0h.01 (= 0d.569 ± 0d.001) was derived with a completely observed double wave lightcurve and a maximum light variation of Δm = 0m.36. This is exactly half of the period obtained by Schober et al. (1977) with P = 27h.3 ? and Δm ≥ 0m.07 from earlier observations in 1975, when a more pole-on view to the rotational pole of 164 Eva was evident.
Using a phase coefficient of 0.039 mag/deg absolute magnitudes barV(1,0) = 9.06 and V0(1,0) = 8.88 were computed the colors B-V = 0.69 and U-B = 0.35 are in agreement with those listed in Bowell et al. (1979).
