Underside. — Forewiug often with a greyish white spot across M' or in front 



of M-. Hindwing with three spots 11^ — M', a smaller one behind M' and usually 



a minute dot on abdominal fold. 



? . Uppcrsidc. — Forewing : apical area slightl)' transparent, being visibl}' less 

 opaque than in the Colombian subspecies of P. lycimenes and P. erithalion ; 

 cell-spot verj' large, longer than broad, often somewhat reduced in width costall_y, 

 in this case not quite reaching across cell ; subcostal streak often absent, discal spot 



R'— M^ much larger than spot R- — R^ Hindwing: band very broad, entering 



cell, very pale proximally, spot SO' — R' small or absent in most specimens. 



Underside : spots of forewing purer white, and band of hindwing distally 

 brighter red than above. 



I/ak Colombia : Blagdaleua valley, and Cordillera of Bogota. 



In the Tring Museum 30 c?c?, 13 ??, from: Cananche and La Palma, 

 Cundinamarca, July, August and September 1903 (Mathan) ; Muzo, December 

 1896; Pacho ; Peperital to Buenavista, 400 — 1300 m., January 1897, dry season 

 (Dr. Biirgcr) ; Villavicencio to Monte Redondo, March — April 1897, beginning of 

 wet season (Burger). 



c. P. ipJddamas elatos subsp. nov. 



S. Like the preceding ; green patch of forewing more olive, duller in tint, 

 posteriorly reduced, the streak behind SM^ small, the patch being rhombiform, with 



the upper proximal and posterior distal angles strongly rounded. Three small 



spots on hindwing. 



On underside five spots R^ — SM^ on hindwing, all well separated from one 

 another, spot R^ — M' the largest, being about half as long again as broad. 



Hab. Cauca valley. 



In the Tring Museum 1 S from Popayan. 



d. P. iphidamas calogyna subsp. nov. (PI. IV. fig. 7). 



(?. Upperside : forewing a little less opaque in apical area than in phalias ; 

 olive-green spot abont the same in size, on the whole somewhat smaller, duller 

 green ; many specimens with a white spot M' — BI-, which is often large, touching 



both veins, being sometimes preceded by a small dot. Hindwing : three small 



red spots, contiguous, often a minute dot behind M-. 



Underside : forewing with white or greenish buff, distinct or vestigial, spot 

 M' — M*, or R''— M', or a double-spot across M', or the spot larger, extending 



from M- forward to R-. Hindwing : five spots from R- to anal angle, last one 



often absent, the spots on the whole less pale and smaller than in P. i. pkalias, the 

 upper three close together. 



? . Upperside .• forewing : apical area slightly transparent ; cell-spot large, 

 but often reduced costally, in this case not reaching across cell ; subcostal streak 



present or absent ; two discal spots R'^ — M', the second the largest. Hindwing : 



band from R- to near abdominal edge, often a detached dot before R', the band 

 bright red, usually almost white proximally, the two colours contrasting strongly, 

 inner edge of band almost straight, but more or less curved distad before abdominal 

 margin, sometimes also incurved at apex of cell, in many specimens band entering 

 apex of cell; width of band variable, but not exceeding (or very little) the width 

 of the distal marginal area.
