? . Expans. 2" 2'". Same form of wings as the ^ . Outer portion 
of fore-wing dark brown, with a short belt beyond the cell tawny- 
white ; basal half of the wing tawny-white, becoming tawny-yellow 
towards the base. Hind-wing tawny -yellow, with a very narrow brown 
outer border, in which is a row of black spots. Beneath : pale 
testaceous-tawny, irrorated with olive-brown in patches : sub-marginal

A very distinct species, allied to P. Bhyphcea. Panama and

110. — TaTGETIS SYLVIA. 
^ . Expans. 2" 4'"— 2" 7'". Eore-wing obtuse at the apex, outer 
margin slightly rounded outwards ; hind-wing not angulated, but outer 
margin strongly scalloped. Above : brown, with two very fine marginal 
parallel dusky lines. Beneath : lighter brown, with a broad, common 
outer border, much paler, and separated from the basal part of both 
wings by a whitish belt, edged on the inside with darker brown. 
Within the pale limb there is a row of five small ocelli on fore-wing, 
with yellowish irides and white pupils, and a row of six rather larger 
ones on the hind- wing, also with yellowish irides and white pupils ; but 
the second and fifth are larger and black. The basal part of the wings 
is uniform brown, becoming darker near the whitish belt. Towards the 
base of each wing there is a brown line, and towards the outer margin, 
a much dentated finer brown line ; close to the outer margin runs the 
same fine double brown line that is visible above, the space between 
which is pale. 
Panama ; also Upper Amazons. The species resembles the smaller 
and more clearly marked individuals of T. Andromeda (Cram. 96a) ; 
but the fore-wing outer border of T. Andromeda is always angulated 
near the apex.

^ . Expans. 1" 6'". Eore-wiug obtusely triangular ; hind- wing
