Pythonides zonula, Mab. Le Nat. xi. p. 67, f. 1 (1889) 3 . 



Alis brunneis, fere unicoloribus, fasciis duabus communibus subobsoletis, squamis sparsis glaucis composite, ab 

 anticarum medio usque ad medium marginis posticarum interni ; anticis punctis tribus costalibus ad 

 angulum apicalem : subtus anticis fere ut supra, posticis dimidio angulo anali proximo albido, linea sub- 

 marginali brunnea notatis.

Of this species we have specimens from Venezuela given us by Herr Semper, and 

 named " subalbata, H.-S. i. 1. Plotz, Taf. 453 " ; also the types, lent us by Dr. Staudinger, 

 of P. subornatus, Mab., and P. zonula, Mab., and we have no doubt all belong to the 

 same species, which should bear the name P. subalbatus, Plotz. The only point on 

 which we have any doubt is whether the specimen described by M. Mabille as the 

 female of his P. zonula is really conspecific. The distal half of the secondaries beneath 

 is sprinkled with bluish scales instead of being nearly pure white with a submarginal 

 macular band as in all our other specimens. 



P. subalbatus only just enters our fauna; the few specimens we have seen from 

 within our border were all taken on the Line of the Panama Railway. 



We believe all the specimens we have seen of this species to be females; none of 

 them have a tibial tuft of hairs that we can detect on the hind legs, but the tibia? have 

 both pairs of spurs as in P. loxus and its allies. 



4. Paches geometrinus.

 Pythonides geometrina, Wats. P. Z. S. 1893, p. 51 2 . 

 Achylodes hadina, Butl. Trans. Eut. Soc. 1870, p. 517 3 . 

 Achylodes corbianus, Plotz, Jahrb. nass. Ver. xxxvii. p. 15 (1884) 4 . 



Alis brunneis, fasciis duabus communibus bene separatis saturatiore fuscis pallide limbatis, marginibus externis 

 plus minusve parallelis, linea submarginali quoque fusca marginibus ipsis pallidis : subtus pallidioribus, 

 anticis squamis fulvis sparsim atomatis, plaga elongata fulva discali quoque notatis ; posticis undique 

 squamis albidis sparsim notatis, lineisque transversis evanescentibus albidis quoque instructis. 



5 mari similis, sed fasciis paginse alarum superioris magis obviis. 



Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (Bibbe, in mus. Staudinger). — South Ameeica generally, from 

 Colombia 1 and Venezuela 1 to South Brazil 3 4 . 



Felder's types of this species came from Colombia and Venezuela 1 , Mr. Butler's 

 type of A. hadina from Brazil 3 , and Plotz's type of A. corbianus from Rio 

 Janeiro 4 . All these names appear to be synonyms of P. geometrina. Of A. corbianus 

 we have a specimen from Novo Friburgo given to us by Herr Semper thus named,
