BUTTERFLIES HERRERA AND FIELD 471 



Length of forewing, 23-27 mm. (average 25 mm.)- 



Female genitalia not illustrated and not different froiii the typical 

 subspecies. The genitalia of three females were studied. 



Variation: One male (of a series of four) and one female (of a 

 series of seven) labeled "Castro, State of Parana, Brazil" are like 

 T. maenacie itatiayac, while the remaining specimens from this 

 locality are clearh^ T. maenade maenacie. If these two specimens are 

 correctly labeled (vvdiich we have reason to doubt) we will have to 

 accept the fact that either the two subspecies overlap in distribution 

 or that they are found a very sliort distance from each other although 

 perhaps under different ecological conditions. For the time being 

 this pan- is classified as itatiayae, but Castro is not included as a 

 locality for that subspecies. 



Type locality: "Itatiaya, a parth- de 1700 metres para cima," 

 Brazil. The Itatiaya Mountains in the Serra do Mar chain, located 

 in the region v/here the tln-ee states of Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, 

 and Sao Paulo join. 



Location of types: In the collection of Jose G. Foetterle, which 

 according to Horn and Kahle (Ent. Beih. Berlin-Dahloin, vol. 2, 

 p. 78, 1935) is in the Natural History Museum in Vienna, Austria. 



Additional type data : Described from four males and one female, 

 of which Foetterle considered one male and one female as "types" 

 (= CO types). 



Method of identification: Identified by comparison of topo- 

 tj'pical material with the original description and with the excellent 

 original figure (in color). 



Synonymical notes: There are no synonj'ms; however both Rober 

 and Talbot, as shown in the references, have misspelled the name by 

 adding a "c" between the second "i" and the second "a." 



Distribution: Only known from in and around the Itatiaya 

 Mountains in the Serra do Mar chain of eastern Brazil. 



Brazil: State of Minas Gerais, Passa Quatro (1,600 m., March, April, Novem- 

 ber), Virginia (1,500 m., January), Caldas (July); State of Rio de Janeiro, Itatiaya 

 (February- April, August, October). 



Material studied: 14 m^ales, 6 feir.ales.
