h'. ? -f. zaddaclu Dewitz, I.e. Discal band of forewing continnons, not being 



interrupted at apex of cell, and like tlie large patch in cell tawny-orange ; hindwing 

 without discal band on iipperside, the band being vestigial below. 



c'. ?-f. vais nov. Like the preceding, but the discal band and cell-patch 



of forewing white. Coll. Oberthiir. 



Hab. Merida ; Colombia ; Ecuador. 



On comparison of a larger material than we have examined it will perhaps 

 be found that there are several subspecies in the districts mentioned. In M6rida 

 specimens the last snbmarginal spot of the forewing, on upperside, appears to be 

 always (?) absent or vestigial ; in our two individuals from the Cauca valley and the 

 Eio Dagua the first spot of that row is obsolescent and the last small, the band 

 of the hindwing being also more evenly tapering than in Bogota specimens. 



In the Tring Museum 16 c? (?, 1 ¥ , from : Merida, Venezuela, June 1898 (Briceno); 

 "Bogota"; Bogota to Pandi, December 1896, dry season (Dr. Burger); Pereira, 

 Cauca ; R. Dagua, west coast of Colombia (W. Rosenberg) ; Ecuador. 



In coll. Oberthtir from Ambato and Balsapamba, Ecuador. 



b. P. cacicus inca subsp. nov. 

 Papilln cacicus, Hopffer, Slett. Ent. Zed. xl. p. 54. n. 29 (1879) (Peru ; this form ?). 



(?. Upperside. — Forewing : cell-patch much more oblique than in the preceding, 

 forming a very acute angle with M on basal side ; last three sjjots of postdiscal 

 row close to the submargiual spots ; first submargiual spot vestigial, second small, 

 the others also smaller than in c. cacicus, partly shaded with black, last one 



orange-red. Hindwing : discal band more convex distally than in the preceding 



subspecies, broad anteriorly, strongly tapering ; blue postdiscal spots large ; 

 submargiual spots narrow, shaded with black, no orange anal sjiot ; black discal 

 area wider centrally than in the preceding, the wing being longer in middle ; tail 

 narrow, non-spatulate. 



Underside. — Forewing : discal band extending to base of M-', its proximal 

 edge almost on a level with the edge of the cell-patch, which is more proximal than 

 in the previous subspecies ; black discal area much wider in middle than in front 

 and behind ; upper jjostdiscal spots large, contiguous, forming an oblique band, 



posterior spots of that row thin, close to the snbmarginal spots. Hindwing : 



black discal bars sharply defined, luniform, separated from the discal band by a 

 narrow interspace of the brown ground-colour; a minute orange-red anal snbmarginal 

 spot, separated from fringe. 



Genitalia: Anterior process of tenth tergite shorter than posterior one ; apex of 

 harpe not raised into a small tubercle or point. 



Hab. Eastern Peru : Upper Rio Toro, Chanchamayo district, August — September 

 1901 (Simons). 



1 c? in the Tring Museum ; not seen in other collections, but the specimen 

 recorded by Hopffer, I.e., may belong here.
