CALLITARA. 63 
Our specimen was received from the late James M‘Leannan, who took it at Lion 
Hill on the Panama railway. We have as yet looked in vain for more specimens; for 
none have reached us. 
CALLIT/ARA. 
Hetera, Div. A, Sec. I. Subsec. 6, Doubl. & Hew. Gen. Diurn. Lep. ii. p. 863 (1851). 
Callitera, Butler, Cat. Sat. B. M. p. 101 (1868). 
The species of this genus were placed by Doubleday in a subsection of his first 
division of the comprehensive genus Hetwra; and they passed under that genus for 
many years, until Mr. Butler separated them in 1868. Its nearest allies are Hetera 
and Pierella, with which it has in common a short internal nervure on the primaries 
which coalesces with the submedian, forming a sort of loop, somewhat as in /thomia 
and its allies. As diagnostic characters Callitera has the following:—The tibia of 
the front leg of the male is somewhat dilated, and the tarsus is nearly as long as the 
tibia ; the lower discocellular of the secondaries meets the median nervure at the 
origin of its third branch ; and the terminal joint of the palpi is short. 
Callitera is represented by at least three species in the basin of the Amazon. 
Another, perhaps two, are found in Guiana. C. aurora is found both in the Amazon 
valley and in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Lastly, we have C. menander, almost 
peculiar to Central America south of Nicaragua, and C. polita, which probably occupies 
nearly the same area. 
Mr. Kirby, in his ‘Synonymic Catalogue,’ uses the name Citherias, Hiibner, for 
this genus, a title we should have been glad to adopt did we feel that that course was 
open tous. Citherias, as understood by Hibner, is a composite genus, first restricted 
by Doubleday and placed as a synonym of the typical division of Hetwra, which he 
made to contain two sections. Mr. Butler still further restricted Citherias by asso- 
ciating it strictly with Hetera, making a new name for Doubleday’s other section. <As 
this course was open to him, his assignment of these names must be accepted.
