7-2 tIATASTICTA. By J. Rohkr. 



strigosa. C. strigosa /)V/r., from Peru, is in form, size and general appearance liive lichra, deep olive-brown, 



tlie last third of the middle cell of the forewing shows sparse SLilpliur-yellow scaling, the cell is surrounded 

 by a row of oblong, jiointed sulphur-yellow-brown streaks, the outer part of the first six streaks is divided 

 bv the ground-colour, hindwing sulphur-yollow-brown, but the veins and the distal margin olive-brown, three 

 elongated light yellow spots bound the 2. to 4. interneural stripe-. Under surface similar to that of ctemenr, 

 but the yellow spot on the forewing divided into narrow streaks by the broadly brown-edged veins. Only 

 known to me from the description. 



crowleyi. C. crowleyi Bllr., from Venezuela (Monte Sierra and Culala), is similar to str'njosa. Upperside dai'k 



purple-brown with whitish ash-grey areas and spots, the distal margin of the hindwing and the veins are 

 sharply prominent; an orange-yellow spot at each side of the prothorax; under surface almost as in aciinotis, 

 but the hindwing of light reddish brown colour, without sharp median liand, the yellow spots only edged 

 with dark brown marks. Only known to me from the description. 



C. semiramis Lii<-. Ci-id), from Colombia, is above obscure grey-black with indistinct yellowish white 

 submarginal and central spots, but beneath brilliantly marked. The hindwing is remarkable for the abundant 

 sulphur-yellow markings, which are paler on the forewing, and the sharp black and snow-white markings. 



C. niobe .S/(/r. /. /. (22d), from Bolivia, is above black-brown with indistinct yellowish submarginal 

 and central sjiots on the forewing and light subbasal band on the hindwing. The ground-colour of the hind- 

 wing lieneath is a light sulphur-yellow, on which the black and the dark sulphur-yellow, black-edged mark- 

 ings stand out well. The forewing has black-brown ground-colour witii light marginal , submarginal and 

 central spots, which are sulphur-yellow in the anterior part and white in the posterior. 



siiasa. C. suasa t^tgr. i. I. (22 e), from Bolivia, has very dark, black-brown upper surface, with obsolete 



whitish submaiginal and central spots. Tiie under surface of the hindwing is very variegated, with silver- 

 white, sulphur-yellow, reddish brown and blnck-brown markings. The under surface of the forewing has 

 black-brown ground-colour and while submarginal and central spots, as well as very small, white, anteriorly 

 siiasella. yellow, oblong marginal spots. — suasella fnihsp. in.r., from Peru, is above much lighter (yellowish grey) 

 and beneath much less sharply marked; the light markings on the underside of the forewing are yellowish 

 and nnich more extended in the middle. 



modesta. C. modesta I.iir. (22 e), from Peru, lias the upper surface grey-brown with slight obsolescent light 



submarginal and central markings. The under surface of the forewing is yellowish with brown and dark 

 yellow marginal markings, the underside of llie hindwing is reddisii brown \\ith diffuse silver-white sub- 



actinotis. marginal and central bands and dark yellow markings. — actinotis I'.tlr. (22 e ?), from Costa Rica and 

 Chiriqui, has more extended yellowish markings above and darker coloured under surface. The ? is above 

 black-l)rown with yellow disc on the forewini;-. which is intersected by the dark veins; tlie underside the same. 



C. manco 1>I>1. [— incerta Dorjti.) (22 e), from Bolivia, has l)lack-brown upper surface with sub- 

 manco. marginal and central markings on the forewing, and on Ihe hindwing marginal and submarginal markings, 

 all ashy grey, a^ is also the base. The underside of the hindwing is silver-white with narrow black markings 

 and broad sulphur-yellow ones. The ground-colour of ihe forewing beneath is impure white with a marginal 

 lunate line, which is sharp and black in the anterior part, black-brown and not sharp in the posterior, the black- 

 brown submarginal band and similar coloured basal part with light stripes; in the apex there are sulphur- 

 philothea. yellow spots. — philothea Fl'Ir., from ColomJjia. is above somewhat more yellow, on tiie underside of the 

 philoscia. hindwing less yellow, but more strongly marked with black. — philoscia Fhlv., from Venezuela, is less 

 yellow on the whole uijjierside and on the underside of the forewing still more yellowish; can scarcely be 

 separated from }ihll<)thra. 



anaitis. C. anaitis //'vr. (22e), from Elcuador, has ash-grey-yellowish upper surface with black-brown mar,ii;ins 



and small light .submarginal spots. The under surface is silver-white with sulphur-yellow, black and brownish 

 markings. 



C. rediicta lillr., from Ecuador, is above like .-n/iUls, but much smaller and all the spots of the 

 upperside are ochre-yellow, irregularly coloured with ])urp]e-lirown, the veins are much more broadly blackish, 

 the hindwing has a row of small white marginal spots, the macular band on the underside of the forewing 

 is lighter ochre-yellow and the forewing is more falcate. — boliviana Htlr. differs in the light ochre-coloured 

 spots on the under surface, which shows scarcely any admixture of dark. Only known to me from the des- 

 cription. 



sordida. C. SOrdida Bib:, from Bolivia, has the general colouring of finaith. but is less yellow, the spot at 



the end of the cell and the spots of the central row of the forewing next to the costal margin are smaller. 

 Distal margin of the hindwing blackish, occupying almost half the wing and crossed by spots of the ground- 

 colour. Beneath all the light marks are reduced and the brown areas much broader, the light bands are 

 cream-coloured, not pure white, and the yellow stripes and spots of a deeper colour.
