the wings. Calvert's species was taken near Concles above 

 Santiago at 8000 metres elevation. 



Endymion is said by Blanchard to come from Coquimbo. 



It appears that Kirby in Cat. Diur. Lep., p. 877, gave 

 the name of Sibylla to Blanchard's figure, because the name 

 e7idymion was pre-occupied. I prefer to use the name of 

 andina.

I found this species common at Banos de Cauquenes in 

 December. It is also found, according to Edmonds, at 

 Valparaiso and Copiapo.

This species seems to be peculiar to the north of Chile. 

 Besides the types in the British Museum there are four 

 specimens from Tarapaca. It is nearly allied to L. telicamts 

 of Europe.

I am not convinced of the specific distinction of this 

 species from the next ; it may be a mountain form of it. 

 The only specimen I have is labelled Puente del Inca, 

 but I am inclined to think that this label has been misplaced. 

 The specimen is smaller, and on the under-side somewhat 

 different from quadrimacidata. The males of both forms 

 have a large sexual patch in the fore-wing, which has led 

 Butler to put them in the genus Calli'psyche, Scudd. The 

 type was taken near Santiago.

Hewitson appears also to have doubted the distinctness 

 of this from the last, as he has put the female type as the
