 silver-white markings. — plesseni ndisji. iiar.. discovered by Bar(ni (i. v. Ple-jsek in Ecuador (Banos), is 

 somewhat smaller than colla, and has above lighter yellow median bands and more distinct submarginal spots; 

 beneath all the yellow markings are likewise lighter and the ground-ccdour of the hindwing purer white,

 f/niiis has more yellow markings on the forewing, particularly in the middle. — The small form from Ecuador 



with sharper vellow markings may be ditferentiated as aequatorialis /nnti. nor. aequa-

 C. hopHeri Styr.il. (— pinava /7/r., nee Uhi) ('22c), from Bolivia, is much smaller than (lie ))reced- hopfferi. 

 ing species, but the submarginal yellow sjiots are much larger and both wings have small yellow marginal 

 spots. On the underside of the hindwing the median markings are separated from the marginal spots by a 

 sharply defined band of silver-white heart-shaped spots, the yellow markings are not orange, but sulphui- 

 yellow. — Specimens with dai'kened ujjper surface are in the market as forma obscurior S/(/i-. i. I. obscun'or. 



C. teutanis Ili'ir. (22 c), from Peru and Ecuador, gives on the upper surface the impression of a small tnitanis. 

 I'avfronia. Up})er surface white, on the basal part of the forewing and the whole of the hindwing bluish 

 white on account of the dark colouring of the under surface showing through, the apical half of the fore- 

 wing black with small bluish white .subapical and submarginal streaks, the hindwing with rather broad, dee])- 

 ly indented black distal margin. Under surface with the excejition of the middle part of the forewing brown- 

 black with slight yellow marginal and submarginal markings and two dark red basal spots on the hindwing. 



C. Ctemene //'-«•. (22 c), from Ecuador, has the apex of the forewing pioduced. Upper surface \\\\\i& ctftnene. 

 with black-brown apical and basal ]>arts and black-brown marginal spots on the forewing; in the daik apex 

 of the forewing are placed small white subapical spots. The underside of the forewing is white, that of the 

 hindwing bluish brown with diffuse r,y/(^s7/Wry-inarkings.

 basal spots on the hindwing. ? has much broader mai'ginal markings, particularly on the hindwing. — cau- caucana. 

 cana sulsp. ^/or., from Cauca in Colombia, is distinguished by the want of the white submarginal spots of 

 the forewing and slight black marking at the distal margin of the hindwing. Tlic undrr sniface is paler. 

 The ?? have above laiger white sjxils at llie discocellular than jnioiicfia-'^. 



C. sisamnus /'., from Peru, has black upj)er surface, a Inoad white median band and white marginal sisamnus. 

 and submarginal dots and spots. The markings of the under surface ( orresj)ond to those of the upper, median 

 ])and yellowish white with small yellow stripes, marginal and basal ai-eas black-brown with small marginal 

 and submarginal spots and two red basal sjiots on the hindwing- — telasco Luc, from Uhiri(jui, has on the telasco. 

 hindwing narrow-er black distal margin and the white submarginal spots on the forewing are larger, the 

 median liand of the forewing is narrower anil the under surface somewhat ligliter. — pitana FIdr. (22 c), pitnna. 

 from (lolonibia, has the median band still broader and very sharply defined, lieing in the a" white, in the 

 ? white or yellowish; ?? with lemon-yellow median band and s|iols of the same colour may be distinguished 

 as ?-f. flava foim imr. f/avn. 



C b'\thys IlOii. (22(1) occurs fi-om Mexico to South Brazil. Upperside black-brown with narrow vhitish /'///o'*'. 

 macular median band, small white marginal and submarginal spots: sometimes one or the other row is want- 

 ing. Underside with small yellow stripes in the white median band of the hindwing, marginal part reddish 

 black-brown, with small marginal and submarginal yellow s]iots edged with black. + not different. 



C. troezene //'//•. (22 d), from Colombia, has black-brown u|)per surface with white macular median troezene. 

 band, darklv dusted over, distinct submarginal and indistinct (in the forewing sometimes absent) marginal 

 spots which on the hindwing ai'e small but distinct. Under .surface niudi niaiked with sulphur-yellow. 



C. troezenides S/i/r. /. I. (22 dl, from Colombia, though very similar to Irorzci/r beneath, has less troczenidcs. 

 yellow marking and broader black-brown maiginal marking. Abo\e differing somewhat in the greater part 

 of the hindwing being white. In contrast to the hindwing the forewing shows less white markings than troezene. 



C. hebra Luc. (22 d), from Colombia, is similar to lroe:iii/i/rK above, but the black margin of the fiebra. 

 hindwing is broader and dentate, the undei' surface however is leather different through the want of sharp 

 C,^/a,s//(7(/-marking. The underside of the hindwing is reddish brown with light submarginal and median 

 bands, distinct triangular sulphur-yellow marginal spots, oblong sulphur-yellow submarginal ones and sulphur- 

 yellow stripes in the proximal part of the wing.
