SYNCHLOE. 181 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion), Calobre (Arcé).—Conomsia *?; 
VENEZUELA. 
This name was applied by Dr. Felder to specimens from the neighbourhood of 
Bogota, whence we also have received it, and also from Manaure, in the northern 
portion of the same country. These southern examples are all larger than the insects 
from Panama, and have four instead of two red spots on the secondaries; but they are 
alike in the yellow spots of the primaries, and do not differ sufficiently for separation. 
The species is apparently not uncommon in the western portion of the State of Panama ; 
but we have not yet seen any specimens from the line of railway. 
7. Synchloe melitzoides. 
Synchloe meliteoides, Feld. Voy. Nov., Lep. p. 396°. 
S. erodyle similis, sed palpis albidis, posticis subtus flavissimis. 
Hab. Mexico! (Koppe, Mus. Berol.). 
A little-known species, described by Dr. Felder from specimens in the Berlin 
Museum. We possess a single example, without locality, which was formerly in the 
collection of Dr. Kaden, which agrees accurately with the above description. From 
this we gather that S. meliteoides is a species fairly distinct from S. erodyle, having 
the palpi nearly white instead of black with white sides; the secondaries beneath have 
the yellow much more extended, and the black, so prominent in the allied species, is 
reduced to small spots. The yellow spots on the primaries beneath, too, are much 
larger. 
b. Primary wings short and rounded. 
8. Synchloe marina. 
Araschnia marina, Geyer in Hiibn. Zutr., fiinft. Hund. p. 20, ff. 877, 878°. 
Alis rotundatis, fusco-nigris, anticis albo punctatis, posticis fascia maculosa transversa flava, maculis duabus ad 
angulum analem aliisque apicem versus rubris; subtus maculis omnibus majoribus et pallide flavis, anticis 
costa ad basin maculaque in cellula ferrugineis, posticis flavis nigro notatis et maculis quatuor marginem 
externum versus rubris. 
Hab. Mextco (Sommer 1), Huahuapan (Hedemann), Oaxaca (Lenochio). 
This peculiar species is restricted in its range to Southern Mexico, whence we have 
received a few specimens from Don A. Fenochio, and seen others in the Vienna 
Museum. It was originally described and figured by Geyer from examples in the 
Sommer collection 1}. 
One of the chief characteristics of S. marina is the shortness of its primaries, giving 
the insect the general appearance of some members of the genus Phyciodes. We 
believe, however, that it is rightly placed here.
