Felder's lycortas, which is based on specimens supposed to be from Caracas 

 (Kaden), is the same as cleotas ; Kaden's specimens were doubtless Brazilian. 



$. Discal band of forewing, upperside, more oblique than in the other 

 subspecies, spot M- — S5P small or vestigial; coU-patch small or absent; a row 

 of large olivaceous buff blotches from costal margin backwards bet\Yeen the discal 



and submarginal rows of spots. Band of hindwing always broken uji into spots ; 



the last four or five submarginal spots red in most specimens. 



? . Dichromatic. 



«'• ?-f- cleotas similar to the male, easily distinguished from P. cleotas coroebus 

 ?-f. clioiie by the row of olivaceous buff blotches on the forewing and the smallness 

 of the discal patch M-— SM-. 



b'. ?-f. adaea nov. Name-type from Blumenau. An oblique discal row 



of bluish blotches on upperside of forewing, the row gradually disappearing in 

 front, usually not extending forward beyond lower angle of cell ; postdiscal row 

 of similar blotches from costal margin backwards; sometimes the posterior post- 

 discal spots merged together with the discal ones ; a submarginal row of spots as 



in male, the upper ones being more or less lijuish. Hindwing : a discal and a 



postdiscal band of spots huffish blue, the discal band broader than the jjostdiscal 

 one, the first and the last discal s])ot often partly creamy ; submarginal spots 



huffish blue, anterior ones more or less creamy, last one usually red. Discal 



band of underside of hindwing more extended red than in ?-f cleotas ; last spot 

 cnamy on abdominal side. 



Genitalia : cJ. Tenth sternite with or without anal mesial tooth ; harpe similar 

 to that of P. ansteus bitias, with two straight prongs at apex of nearly the same 

 length, both directed anad, there being often a very few teeth between the jirongs, 



some specimens bearing some minute teeth on the hinder side. ?. Lobe in front 



of viigiual orifice short, simple or dentate, lateral process slender, very sharjdy 

 pointed, bearing a tooth on the posterior side.
