208 RHOPALOCERA. 
P. atronie quoad marem omnino similis. 
Q. Femine P. cassiopee et P. atronie similis, sed anticis fascia ultra cellulam lata alba et posticis fascia alba 
nulla distinguenda. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Ridbe 1), Bugaba (Arcé). 
This species too was described by us from a female example in the collection of 
Dr. Staudinger ; and we have since received another from Herr Ribbe, which we now 
figure. We have also a male, which, as in the case of P. cassiopea, does not differ from 
that sex of P. atronia. The three species derive their characters from the females 
alone, the differences in this sex being associated with a difference of locality. 
Regarding P. chromis (Godm. & Salv. Ann. & Mag. N.-H. ser. 5, ii. p. 260) we are 
in some doubt, as it now seems to us that it not improbably belongs to P. diallus, the 
chief difference being in the colour of the marks of the primaries. It may, however, 
represent a fifth species of the P. atronia group, having a male like the true P. atronia, 
but a female differing slightly from all the rest.

39. Phyciodes fulviplaga. (Tab. XXII. figg. 26, 27.) 
Phyciodes fulviplaga, Butl. Cist. Ent. i. p. 772; Lep. Ex. p. 183, t. 63. f. 2°; Butl. & Druce, 
P. Z. S. 1874, p. 348°. . 
Alis fuscis, anticis macula transversa lata ultra cellulam punctisque marginem versus ochraceis, posticis margine 
excepto sericeo-fuscis, linea submarginali anguste fulva; subtus area mediana plaga magna fusco-nigra 
ornata, posticis rufo-fuscis fusco irregulariter marmoratis. 
2. Mari similis, fascia anticarum fulva ad angulum analem producta. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patten !*), Cache (Rogers). 
A pretty species, with no near allies, which was first discovered by Van Patten and 
described by Mr. Butler. We have since received many specimens from Mr. Rogers, 
one of which, a female, we now figure. 
40. Phyciodes otanes. (Tab. XXII. figg. 28, 29.) 
Eresia otanes, Hew. Ex. Butt., Eresia, t. 6. £. 477. 
P, fulviplage similis, maculis anticarum fulvis absentibus, colore sericeo posticarum in aream medianam anticarum ~ 
extendente. 
© adhuc ignota. 
flab. Guatemata (0. S.1), Duefias and Zapote (Champion). 
This species was originally described by Hewitson from a specimen obtained in 
Guatemala by Salvin in 1859, and figured in the ‘ Exotic Butterflies.1 Since then 
Mr. Champion has obtained several additional specimens at Duefias and Zapote, the 
type having most probably been taken at the former place. 
We have not yet seen a female of P.otanes,which probably resembles that sex of P.sopolis. 
Our figure represents,a male from Duefias.
