206 Mr. H. W. Bates on the Nymphaline 
wing being emitted after the cell, instead of one before and the other 
after as in Catagramma. The metropolis of the genus seems to be 
the hot valleys of Ecuador and New Granada, only one species being 
found in Guiana and the plains of the Amazons, and two in Southern 
Brazil. 
51. Callicore Clymena, Cramer, 24 8. F. 
Rather local, but abundant where it occurs; banks of the Cupari 
(a branch of the Tapajos), Caicara, and St. Paulo, Upper Amazons. It 
has rather a slow, sailing flight, and is attracted in numbers to moist 
puddles or filth on the skirts of the forest, flying when disturbed to 
the trees. The Guiano-Amazonian form differs somewhat from the 
one occurring at Rio Janeiro, which has received from Dr. Felder the 
name of C’. Janewa (Verz. Macrolep. fregatt. Novara, p. 4). Further 
south, namely, in Rio Grande, in 30° S. lat., it is still further 
modified*,

Mr. Hewitson has figured a local variety of the male of the species 
as the female ; which sex differs from the male in being dull in colour, 
and in having the hind wings, above, entirely of a dull-black hue, with 
a submarginal plumbageous line. The form represented by fig. 15 is 
confined to the Lower Amazons, the other (figs. 16, 17) being found 
only on the upper river. The males are abundant in some places, 
flying over and settling on filth of all kinds in the neighbourhood of 
huts and villages. The females I never met with, except in the shades 
of the forest, where they are sometimes seen in numbers on the trunks 
of trees. 
53. Catagramma Eunomia, Hewits. Exot. Butt. Cat. f. 9-12. 
Found only in the interior of the country, from St. Paulo, on the 
Upper Amazons, to the head-waters of the rivers flowing from the 
north. 
* Catagramma Clymena, race meridionalis. Similar to C. Janeira beneath, 
except that the inner ring of the hind wings is pyriform instead of oblong; 
above it differs in entirely wanting the blue submarginal stripe of the hind wings. 
Reasoning from this amount of evident modification, there can be no doubt that 
the various allied species of Columbia have descended from the same stock—C, 
Anna, Euclides, Marchalli, Astala, Gabaza, and Eluina.,
