2300 RHOPALOCERA. 
the other hand females alone of 4. cleomestra have reached us. It is true that con- 
siderable difference is observable in the markings of the upper surface of the wings, 
but we have parallel instances in such species as 4. proserpina, A. laura, A. ambrosia, 
and others. On the under surface all the essential characters in the position of the 
transverse and submarginal lines correspond in both insects; in the female, however, 
they are much more clearly seen, the ground-colour of the wings being much paler. 
This, too, is a feature in many species of Anea. 
The range of 4. anassa, as we now propose to call this species, extends from 
Colombia and the Rio Negro as far as Nicaragua, and, with the exception of the South- 
American localities, we have specimens of both sexes from all points of its range. The 
type of A. cleomestra came from Colombia ?. 
A. forreri group. 
25. Anza forreri, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. figg. 3, 4.) 
Alis cyaneo-nigris, basi cyanescentibus, anticis fascia subapicali a costa fere ad marginem externum et maculis 
duabus confluentibus ad angulum analem cyaneis; anticis valde acutis; posticis ecaudatis ; subtus pallide 
fuscis fusco irroratis et griseo precipue ad angulum anticarum analem marmoratis, anticarum area 
discali ferrugineo suffusa. 
Hab. Muxico, Presidio near Mazatlan (Forrer). 
Of this species we have a single male specimen captured by Mr. A. Forrer near 
Mazatlan. A second Mexican specimen in our collection, the source of which is 
unauthenticated, differs on the underside, which is much darker and more rufescent in 
tint, and the markings less distinct. This specimen may belong to another species, but 
our materials are insufficient to determine the point satisfactorily. 
26. Anza hedemanni. 
Nymphalis hedemanni, R. Feld. Verh. k. k. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 1869, p. 473°. 
“Ad sectionem N. Xenoclis, Westw., et Glauces, Feld.; minor quam Gilauce, alis anticis ad apicem fortiter 
productis, acute falcatis, in regione interna abbreviatis, posticis ecaudatis, sed apud ramum medianum 
tertium distincte angulatis, alis omnibus supra chalybewo-nigris, dimidio basali anticarumque maculis 
quinque subterminalibus chalybeis, subtus nitide cano-fuscis, albido strigillosis, fascia discali apud ramum 
medianum tertium angulata, introrsum effusa, striga limbali in anticis arcuata et zonam marginalem 
griseo-viridem amplectente anticarumque plaga antico-subapicali diffusa fuscis, posticis punctis nonnullis 
posticis plus minus evanescentibus atris, intus glauco-ceruleo notatis.”—Felder, 1. ¢. 
Hab. Mexico, Potrero (Hedemann 1), 
The only specimens of this species are the types in the Vienna Museum, a careful 
drawing of one of which has been recently sent us by Dr. Steindachner. From this we 
are of opinion that 4. hedemanni belongs to a group in which the males have no 
appendage to the secondaries, and this brings it near the species next described as 
Anea orthesia. The more falcate wings, together with blue spots across the apex of 
the primaries and parallel to the outer margin, show its distinctness from that insect.
