the woods, and are seen in the streets of the town, attracting the notice 
of the inhabitants. The caterpillar is armed with branched spines 
like that of the Zpicalie, two much longer than the rest rising from 
the head; the under surface is pale yellow, the upper black with five 
broad bands of vermilion. The pupa has the dorsal face of its thorax 
deeply emarginate, and is of a pale-red colour.

This has a wide range in the interior of 8. America, being found at 
Aveyros, on the l'apajos, and at Ega, on the Upper Amazons. Its 
habits are similar to those of C. Sapphira, but I never found it in 
numbers. 
65. Callithea Marku, Hewits. Exot. Butt. Call. f. 2,3,5,6(¢ 9). 
C. Markvi has a wider range than the preceding, being found from 
Ega to the interior of New Granada, near Bogota. The examples 
met with at Ega all belong to the variety represented in figures 2 & 6 
on Mr. Hewitson’s plate, the remarkable modification, fig. 5, not 
occurring in this part of the range of the species. It is more abun- 
dant than C. Batesivi at Ega, and sometimes escapes from the forest 
to join the crowds of butterflies of other genera at the damp margins 
of water in open sunny places.

I saw one example of this species at St. Paulo: this seems to be 
the eastern limit of its range, the examples sent to England by M. 
De Gand being taken a little further west in Peru.

This is the most widely distributed species of this handsome genus, 
being found from the interior of French Guiana to the slopes of the 
Andes, in Ecuador. I met with it at many places on the banks of 
the Amazons, both on the north and south sides of the river. It was 
abundant, however, only at Obydos and Villa Nova, both of which 
districts lie near to Guiana. Its time of appearance in the imago- 
state is the months of October and November. The caterpillar is 
armed precisely like that of C. Sapphira, but it is differently coloured, 
the dorsal surface being black, with five broad bands of a light greenish- 
blue tint.
