SOME NEW RHOPALOCERA FROM BRAZIL. 183 



6. C. ivickhami f. clara, form. nov. 



(^ . Ground-coloar light brown, fore-wing black discal markings 

 smaller, transverse postcellular yellow band complete and broader 

 than in typical form, subapical brown spot absent. Hind- wing 

 median band reduced to a cloudy patch below cell from vein 3 to just 

 beyond vein 4. On underside the marginal white spots are obsolete 

 on hind wing, very faintly present towards apex on fore wing. 



Bocca de Acre, Upper Purus, December, 1913. 



7. C. icickhami f. hicolor, form. nov. 



9 . Ground-colour and black markings of both wings as in 

 typical 9 ; transverse post-cellular band of same colour as ground- 

 colour, not yellow ; subapical brown spot absent. Underside as in 

 typical 9 , but with subapical brown suffusion much reduced and 

 marginal white spots of both wings more fully developed. 



Bocca de Acre, Upper Purus, December, 1913. 

 8. C. anastasia medea, ssp. nov, 



(^. Ground-colour of the chocolate, brown so typical of the 

 Middle Purus and Madeira region. The area beyond the pure 

 yellow band on fore wing is pure black except for the seven sub- 

 marginal yellow spots, not suffused with brown. The ground-colour 

 extends to the anal angle, being separated by a large oval black spot 

 from the transverse band, which stops abruptly on vein 3. The hind- 

 wing median band is clearly defined, the marginal black border being 

 reduced so as to be almost imperceptible. On the underside there 

 are signs of brown subapical suffusion on fore wing, otherwise as 

 above. 



Allianea, Canutama, Piio Purus, September, 1913. 



9. C. yardalina jiavigcra, ssp. nov. 



9 • Readily separable from typical C. pardalma, Hopff ., by the deep 

 chocolate-brown ground-colour, the slightly greater development of 

 the fore-wing black markings, the presence of a very sharply-defined 

 transverse yellow band broken up exactly as in typical C. ivickhami, 

 and the presence of a further yellow band proximally, extending across 

 the distal half of the cell and half-way to the anal angle, also very 

 sharply defined. 



Sta. Maria dos Marmelos, Lower Madeira, May, 1913. 



This form is most like that occurring in the neighbourhood of 

 Ega, in which the transverse band is always complete and the 

 transcellular band only incipient (? = pantherina, Staud.). 



10. C. fidminans virgilini, ssp. nov. 



9 . Similar to C. fulminans satura, Haensch., but with ground- 

 colour Hghter brown, the black markings in basal half of fore wing 

 as in tyT^icsLl fulminans, the black spots at end of cell and the apical 

 black area rather more developed, so that the transverse post-cellular 

 band, which is brown, not yellow, is very much constricted and nowhere 

 more than 1-5 mm. wide. The submarginal yellow spots are reduced
