JEMADIA. 263 



We have two male specimens of this species, which appears to be quite distinct from 

 its allies. It belongs to the section containing J. zimra, Hew., and J", alburnia, Mab., 

 in. which the discal spots are separate. In J", zimra these spots are much larger than 

 in the present species, and on the underside the submarginal band of the secondaries 

 is differently divided, a small piece only near the costa being separated instead of being 

 split throughout. There are also essential differences in the male genitalia. J. albumia 

 has the submarginal band of the secondaries beneath entire. 



The tegumen of the male genitalia has a long central lobe ending in a short hook, 

 on either side is a well-defined, but much shorter, curved lobe with a ventral serrate 

 edge ; the harpagones end in a short slightly depressed lobe, above which is a longer 

 one directed backwards, both having the end serrate. (See Tab. LXXIV. fig. 12.) 



A male from Calobre, Panama, is figured.

We retain this name for Hewitson's figure of his P. patrobas, which is called on the 

 plate P. vulcanus (Cr.) \ but altered in the text to P. patrobas, though the description 

 is evidently drawn from specimens of different species, as is evident from the statement 

 that the number of apical hyaline spots is " four or five." 



The differentiation of this species from P. azeta and other similar forms from 

 external features only is by no means satisfactory, and the only character that seems 

 available has reference to the way in which the outer band of the secondaries beneath 

 is split up by a black line or lines. In J. patrobas this band is divided by a single line, 

 but in J. azeta it is wider near the costa and is further split up by a second black 

 line. The male genitalia of these forms show that they are perfectly distinct species. 



Of J. patrobas we have only a single Central-American specimen, apparently a 

 female, from the State of Panama. We have described a specimen from Colombia 

 which agrees with the type of Hewitson's figure in the British Museum. 



The tegumen of the male genitalia has a blunt slightly depressed central rod or lobe, 

 at the base of which, on either side, is a short semi-erect lobe with a serrate end ; the 

 harpagones are elongated and end in a blunt point ; there is a short lobe about the 

 middle of the dorsal edge, which as well as the edge itself to the end is serrate ; near
