cases a black distal-mar-inal line. ? mucli pal.r. Under surface unitbrmly yellow ^yith slight brownish 

 markin-s on the hindwino-. _ constantia hhh:, from Venezuela, is paler yellow ui both sexes and has 

 somewhat reduced black distal margin to the forewing. The imder surface of the hmdwmg has larger and 

 more reddish spots and the apex of the forewing margmed with dark rose-red. 



T sraduata Btir Forewing above satfron-vellow . base blackish, distal margin rather broadly and 

 irre-ularlv black, more than in cc>,>:tanti„, but the n-regularities less ,n-onounced : hindwmg on the abdominal 

 halt^ white, apical half saffron-yellow, at the apex gold-yellow: distal margin with distinct black border. 

 Peru. — Only known to me from the description. 



T westwoodi Bdr. (•24b), from Mexico, Costa Rica, Texas and Arizona, is above lemon-yellow, with 

 oran<^e-vellow tinge at the distal margin of the hindwing, or else entirely orange-yellow. The dark brown, 

 dentate maro-in of the forewing is moderately broad, the border of the hindwing very narrow or only in- 

 dicated Tlfe under surface is yellosv wdth slight orange-yellow tinge at the distal margin and two b ack 

 dots at the discocellular of the hindwing; sometimes the hindwing shows slight, indistinct orange-yellow 

 markings. - citrina /^ocy, from Cuba, is a small form with strongly orange-yellow colour at the distal 

 margin of the hindwing. 



T reticulata/)'///-. (•24b), from Peru, is a conspicuous species, one of the largest of the genus. The 

 upper surface is canarv-yellow with black-brown apex to Ihe forewing and small black dots at the di.stal 

 mar'-in of the hindwing at the extremities of the veins. The under surface of the torewmg is somewhat 

 paler than the upper, at the costal and distal margins somewhat darker, and with a black spot on the 

 discocellular The hindwing has dark vellow ground-colour and thick red-brown reticulate marking, also 

 some large spots of the same colour. - marmorata I'onj., from Ecuador, has beneath less distinct reti- 

 culate markings. . , . • t+ 



T. doris W'/r. /. /. (24b), from Bolivia, is perhaps only a gigantic form of the tollowmg siiecies. It 

 is vivid }"ellow above with broad black-brown apical markings. The under surface is likewise \i\id yellow, 

 with red" apical margin on the forewing and some large red-brown spots on the hindwing. 



T deva /'/'A (•24c), from South Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina, is above paler yellow than the 

 precedino- species and has narrower apical marking. The less vivid yellow upper surface has on the hind- 

 wino- much more red-brown macular marking, - cliilensis Blanch., from Chile, is smaller than dn-a and the 

 apic'al spot is straight on the proximal side. It tlies in two broods: in November and again February to 

 A])ril. The larva lives on Cassia. - hahneli St,p:, from the Upper Amazon, is somewhat larger than >lrra 

 and the black marginal marking of the forewing extends almost to the inner angle. 



T leuce /?r/'-. (24c), from South Brazil and Uruguay, differs from (lira by the narrower but longer 

 ajiical and distal-marginal marking of the forewing and the fuller yellow ground-colour. The under surface 

 has no red-brown markings oh the hindwing, bul sometimes slight blackish ones.. 



T dina Bdr. Upper surface beautiful chrome-yellow, orange at the margin of the hindwing. The 

 forewing has a straight black distal margin, which extends to the inner angle and the costal margm. The 

 hindwing has the black distal margin before the fringes more than usually narrow. Under surface ot Ihe. 

 forewin" of a beautiful yellow with a small black median spot, under surface of the hindwing uniformly yelloss 

 with a blackish dot near'the base, two small blackish median spots, then an obliriue row of irregular brownish 

 . spots of scales. ? somewhat larger, with broader margin. Cuba, common. - athalia Fhh:. trom Colombia, 

 is larger, costal margin of the hindwing more convex. 



T. calceolaria Bih: & Druce. cT above deeper yellow than dina, black distal margin almost obsolete, 

 in the ? the black apical area almost as in dera, triangular, hindwing with a golden yellow apical spot. 



Honduras. 



T. hecabeoides Mni. (24c), from Haiti, is so like the extraordinarily variable Indian hecab, L. that 

 according to Mexetries figure scarcely any distinguishing characters can be found. Upper surface yellow 

 with broad, deeply sinuate\tistal margin of the forewing and narrow black margin ot the hindwing. I iider 

 surface yellow with blackish markings. 



T. aesiope Mr//. (24) has the forewing marked quite similarly to that of the preceding species, bul 

 the hindwing instead of the black distal margin has only black dots at the extremities of the veins. The 

 yellow under surface shows irregular red-brown spots. — Haiti. 



T. jaegeri Men. (24c), from Haiti, is very similar to the Indian and .lapanese /acta Bdr. Upper 

 surface yellow with broad black apical and distal-marginal border, sharply cut off at the first median, under 

 surface "grey with darker markings, proximal part of the forewang yellow. 



T. thymetus /•'. (= perimede Prittir.) (24c, d), from South Brazil (also recorded from Haiti), is above 

 very similar to le,n-e, only somewhat lighter vellow, and has at the distal margin of the hindwing brownish 

 spo"ts, but is sharply di"stinguished by the style of marking of the underside. This is yellow with slight 

 blackish markings in the middle of the hindwing and a large brownish spot at the apex ot the torewmg 

 and at the distal margin of the hindwing.
