CATAGRAMMA. 261 
7. Catagramma pacifica. (Tab. XXV. figg. 15, 16.) 
Catagramma pacifica, Bates, Ent. Monthl. Mag. iii. p. 185°; Butl. & Druce, P.Z.S. 1874, 
p. 343°. . 
Catagramma bugaba, Staud. Verh. k. k. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, xxv. p. 103°. 
C. denine et OC. tolime similis, sed subtus macula posticarum fulva ad costam absente primo visu distin- 
guenda. 
Hab. Guatemata, Pacific slopes (F. D. G. & O. 8.1), Rio Naranjo (Champion) ; Costa 
Rica (Van Patten”); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Ribbe*, Arcé, Champion), Bugaba 
(Arcé, Champion); Calobre (Arcé). 
This insect is found only on the Pacific side in Guatemala, whence the specimens 
first described by Mr. Bates were derived; it is, however, much more common in the 
neighbourhood of Chiriqui, where all collectors who have visited that region have met 
with it in abundance. Specimens from this latter locality were described by Dr. 
Staudinger as C. bugaba; but there can be no doubt as to the identity of the two 
insects. C. pacifica can be readily distinguished from C. denina and C. tolima by the 
absence of the quadrate reddish-orange spot near to the base of the costa of the 
secondaries beneath. 
b. Primaries red at the base either above or beneath. 
8. Catagramma titania. (Tab. XXV. figg. 12¢, 13, 142.) 
Catagramma titania, Salv. Ann. & Mag. N. H. ser. 4, iv. p.177*; Butl. & Druce, P.Z. 8. 1874, 
p. 343 2. 
Alis nigris, cyaneo suffusis, anticis dimido basali coccineo, fascia indistincta subapicali rufa ; subtus anticis fere 
ut supra fascia subapicali flava et maculis apicalibus cyaneis notatis, posticis punctis duplicibus cyaneis 
flavo indistincte circumcinctis, fasciis duabus ad basin et altera submarginali ejusdem coloris, inter has 
fascia cyanea parallela. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Deppe); GUATEMALA, central valleys, Polochic valley, Pacific 
slope (F..D. G. & O.S.), Choctum (Hague), Tocoy (Champion) ; Nicaracua, Chontales 
(Janson); Costa Rica ( Van Patten) ; Panama, Veraguas (Arcé). 
A common species throughout Central America, and especially so in Guatemala, where 
+t occurs in the lowlands bordering the two oceans. Its nearest ally is C. maimuna, 
which is found in Ecuador and the Upper Amazons ; but the red of the primaries in 
the northern species is more restricted, the dark parts of both wings are glossed with 
blue, the anal angle of the secondaries 1s more produced, the patch of blue more 
widely diffused, and on the underside the yellow lines are constantly narrower. 
As a rule, this species is fairly constant in its markings; but we have a male specimen 
from the Pacific side of Guatemala which is altogether devoid of the blue tint of the 
upper surface.
