NYMPHALID#—CATAGRAMMA. 
CATAGRAMMA TRYPHENA. 45, 46. 
Uprrrsipr. Male black. Anterior wing with a narrow band of gold-green 
from the base to the middle where it joms, at a right angle nearly, a broad band of 
the same colour which crosses the wing between it and the inner margin. An oblique 
gold-green spot near to and beyond the middle of the costal margin, and a line of 
hght blue near the apex. Posterior wing with a trifid spot of blue below the middle 
of the costal margin, and a broad submarginal band of grey-blue. 
Unprrsipr. Anterior wing black, with the base (which is followed by a patch 
of green) and the apex orange-yellow. Crossed near the middle by a short band, 
which is white at the costal margin, green below. Posterior wing orange-yellow, 
crossed before the middle by a black line, followed by a row of very minute black 
spots, and below them by an undulated black line, parallel.to but not near the 
outer margin. 
Expan. 148; in. Hab. New Granada. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
On the upperside this species differs little from C. Humboldtii, of Guérin; on the underside it 
resembles C. Oppelii. 
CATAGRAMMA ARETAS. 47, 48. 
Uprrrsipr. Male blue-black. Anterior wing from the base (which is brown) 
to the middle (except the costal margin, which is brown) bright crimson. A narrow 
band of the same colour, but lighter, crosses the apex. Posterior wing with a large 
central spot of crimson. 
Unprrsipr. Anterior wing as above, except that the band crossing the apex is 
wider and orange-yellow ; that there is a line of the same colour near the middle of the 
outer margin, and three spots of light blue at the apex. Posterior wing orange-yellow, 
with two parallel black bands from the costal margin near the base to the anal angle, 
where they jom each other and continue in one band parallel to the outer margin till 
it nearly touches the commencement of the inner line on the costal margin, forming 
an irregular circle and inclosing two large distant spots of black, each marked with a 
single spot of light blue. That part of the band near the outer margin is traversed 
by a row of light blue lunular spots. The margin is black, with minute spots of 
white. 
Expan. 23'5 in. Tab. Venezuela. 
In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 
This species does not at all differ on the upperside from C. Texa of jig. 25. On the 
underside it is more like C. Pitheas of Latreille figured in Humboldt and Bonpland “ Obs. de 
Zoology.”
