( 467 ) 



margin more or less cliestnul-, a marginal band of abont 2 mm. width the samd 

 colonr or blackisli. 



?. Much larger than cj, slightly paler, otherwise similar. 



A long series of cJ c? and five ? ? from various jilaces in Southern Peru : 

 Caraba}'a, Cnzco, Marcapata ; type from between La Oroya to Agualani, October 

 1904 (G. R. Ockenden). 



2(). Actinote callianira stenia subsp. nov. 



S ■ Like the preceding ; the basal patch of forewing more extended and therefore 

 the black interspace between it and the discal band narrower, being narrower than the 

 discal band itself, excepting specimens in which this band is only about 3J mm. 

 broad at its widest point ; the discal band narrower from R-' to costal edge than 

 in the preceding form. Hindwing brighter glossy blue, less greyish blue. 



On underside the discal band of forewing more often edged with yellow distally 



than in euris. Hindwing much darker, the buffish grey streaks much reduced in 



purity of colonr and width, being prominent only in and before cell. 



¥. Basal patch of forewing extending to outer angle ; black interspace between 



it and discal band narrower than in euris. Hindwing beneath less pure 



huffish grey. 



A series of c? c? and two ? ? from Chanchamayo and Huancabamba, Eastern 

 Peru, north of the districts where euris occurs, and south of those in'whicluY«//(V(;H>a 

 is found. 



27. Actinote hilaris sp. nov. 



cJ. Allied to -1. cullianirn Geyer (1S37), whicli it resembles closely on 

 upperside. Spot M' — M" of discal band of forewing very small or absent ; the 

 blue sheen on hindwing much feebler and present all over the wing. 



On underside the discal band of forewing edged with white on distal side. 



Hindwing white from base to beyond apex of cell, the outer edge of this white area 

 running from costal margin, abont 5 mm. from apex, to anal angle, being slightlv 

 excurved at R- and incurved below centre; parallel with this edge is a thin black 

 line, which runs from costal margin across apex of cell, disappearing before 

 reaching abdominal margin ; this line is anteriorly the outer border of a triangular 

 patch or band, which tapers behind, and varies in extent and colour, being either 

 fuscous or orange ; marginal area dark brown, the edge of wing (not the fringe) 

 spotted with orange ; the usual stripes on and between the veins well maiked in the 

 white area. 



?. Similar to 6 ; ground-colour paler, orange-red marking duller. 



On underside the white colonr replaced by buff on forewing and huffish grey 

 on hindwing, and much reduced : the black line on hindwing less prominent. 



In both sexes the lower angle of cell in fore- and hindwing more produced 

 than in A. callianira. 



Five <S S and one ? from Chanchamayo district and Huancabamba, Peru; 

 type from Rio Toro. 



The underside of the hindwing recalls that of ^1. eresina Hopff. (1874). 



28. Actinote nicylla sobrina snbsp. nov. 



c?. Paler orange than .1. «. nici/lla Hoptt'. (1874), especially on the underside, 

 where the discal baud has a distinct yellow tone.
