164. Callipia flagrans spec, no v. 



Foreuing : orange-red, with a broad black border ; the costal area drab with 

 blackish striae, and towards the apex drab striae from it encroach upon the 

 black of the border; below the costa the black encroaches on the cell and ends in 

 a point on tlie median vein at the origin of vein 2 ; beyond the cell above vein .5 

 at two-thirds of the wing is a small red spot, often with a pale drab spot above 

 and contiguous to it ; below it the orange-red ground colour forms a small rounded 

 upward projection, in one specimen touching vein 3 only, in another reaching 

 well above that vein, and in the third touching vein 3 ; in this case the red 

 and drab spots above are much exaggerated ; fringe drab, the tips towards apex 

 vinous red. 



IlitidwiMj : with the black border of uniform thickness, in two sjiecimens 

 ])ioduced narrowly and accomjianied with striae along the costal margin, and in 

 these instances the inner margin is slightly blackened and the median vein black ; 

 fringe drab, with a black si)ot below apex ; fringe of inner margin blaclc, rosy 

 in the middle. 



Underside of forewing with costal streak pale brown and the whole of apical 

 area above vein 5 dark brown with dark and pale striae and the veins blackish, 

 becoming pale ochroous at hindmargin ; a pale ochreous marginal blotch from 

 vein 5 to anal angle, where it is narrowed off ; the fringe beyond it concolorous, 

 above brown. Hindwing deep velvety lirown, along inner margin black, along upper 

 half of cell and expanding to apex i)aler brown ; an ochreons-brown postmedian 

 fascia from inner margin to vein 5, formed of contiguous quadrate spots ; hindmargin 

 irregularly pale ochreous ; the whole surface with fine lengthy striatious, pale on 

 the darker ground, dark on the light ; fringe ochreous, with a brown j)atch below 

 apex : a pale ochreous discocellular scratch. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen black, this last irregularly spotted hiterally, and 

 sometimes dorsally, with olive tlesh-colonr ; patagia of the same colour. 



Expanse of wings : 60 mm. 



3 c? (J from Kiver Inambari, E. Peru, 1000 m., July lUOU, rainy season (Simons). 



Distinguished from C. parrhasiata Guen. by the different tint of ground-colour. 



In a fourth i from Peru the orange-red colour is restricted, the dark marginal 

 border in both wings being much wider and in the hindwing continued broadly along 

 inner margin to base. 



16.1. Callipia occulta spec. nov. 



Very near C. aurata Warr. from ('olombia ; differing mainly in the restricted 

 size of the orange blotch ; the black border along the inner margin, vvliich in 

 aurata does not reach above the submedian fold, here touches vein 2, while the 

 median vein itself is black from base to the origin of tliat vein ; the edge of the 

 orange patch externally is vertical, and farther from the hindmargin ; the fringe is 

 wholly black without pale spots at the ends of the veins. 



Underside as in aurata. 



Expanse of wings : 56 mm. 



1 S from Pern. 



In describing his constantinaria, Oberthiir calls the costa of forewing both 

 above and below, as well as the striolae of the underside of the hindwing, rosy. 

 This does not ajiply to either occulta or aurata ; the costa being olive-brown, and 

 the striolae ochreous-vellow and ferruginous.
