102 DISMORPHIA. By J. Boher. 



euryope. D. euryope Luc. (29 f), from Mexico, is above black with yellowish white median l)aiid on the forewing. 



The large friction-spot of the hindwing is light bluish, the scent-scale-spot on it white, from the inner margin to 

 the middle of the hindwing runs a yellow band, divided into spots by the black veins. Only known to me 

 from the figui'e. 

 j„e5. D. ines spec. nor. (29 f), from Ecuador, is a good deal like euryope. The median band is much nar- 



rower and snow-white, at the inner margin of the forewing there is a small yellow scale-stripe. The $ has 

 sulphur-yellow hindwing, broadly margined with black-brown. The underside has dull gloss, is grey-black 

 and has white spots. 

 higdamia. D. lygdamis Heir. (29 f), from Ecuador, has black upper surface with l)luish markings. The under 



surface is much more like that of a Catasticfa than a Dismorpliia. Only known to me from the figure. 



Iifipo.-ilicta. D. hyposticta FIdr., from Venezuela and Colombia, has in the female yellow upper surface with broad 



black-brown distal margin, interrupted median band and 3 — 4 small white subapical spots on the forewing, 

 the yellow ground-colour of the hindwing makes a tooth into the dark distal margin between the 3. median vein 

 and the lower radial. Under surface of the forewing similar to the upper, paler, with yellow marginal spots, 

 hindwing black-brown with a number of large yellow spots. Only known to me from the description. 



hippotas. D. hippotas Heu\ (29 g). from Ecuador, has black-brown upper surface with white spots. The $ i'^ 



very similar to the q. Under surface impure white with yellowish spots of scales. The ? has also black mark- 

 ings on the forewing. 



teresa. D. teresa Hew. (= praxidice Hew.) (29g), from Ecuador, has black-blue, somewhat glossy upper sur- 



face with white spots. The ,^ has besides the clay-yellow scent-spot at the costal margin of the hindwing a large 

 ,, brand" on the upper surface in the middle of the forewing. The $ is very similar to the (5*. Underside 

 similar to that of liippofns. 



praxidice. D. praxidice Hew., from Ecuador, has more rounded foi-ewing than teresa, somewhat darker under 



surface, othei'wise no constant differences. 



nemesis. D. nemesis Latr. (= atthis Dbl.) (29 g), from ^lexict). Venezuela. Colombia. Ecuador, Peru, etc., has 



the upper surface of the forewing dark brown with small yellow spots, the anterior half of the hindwing (scent- 

 area) is shiny grey, the posterior part yellow. The $ is very different: white or yellowish with lilack mark- 

 ings, the hindwing has only a narrow black distal margin. The under surface is grey with lighter and yellow 

 riridifascia. spots. — viridifascia Bltr., from Costa Eica, has smaller, linear yellow spots and on the hindwing a light greenish 

 band. $ with light Ijrown margin. 



cinerascem. D. cinerascens Salv. (29 g, 30 a), from Costa Rica and Chiriqui, is black above and has on tlie forewing 



white spots and on the hindwing a grey-ldue, Avedge-shaped band before the black distal margin. The $ 

 has black hindwing with a broad white median liand. The under surface is similar to that of nemesis. 



melia. D. melia (iodt. (30a), from Brazil (Santa Catharina and Sao Paulo), has the forewing Idack above witii 



yellow markings and the hindwing yellow with black markings. The $ is a so-called Acraeid-mimic, rather 

 (icracoides. similar to Acraea {Actinote) thalia and resp. (tntcus; this (Brazilian) form is acraeoides Hew. (30a), the other 

 minietica. form, mimetica <S7r/r., from Cayenne, lias more yellow ground-colour. l)ut does not differ in the markings. 



larunda. D. larunda Hen-. (30a), from Ecuador, is a mimic of Hcliconius. Upper surface Ijlack with yellow 



median baud and yellow submarginal spots as well as large red basal spot on the forewing and similarly marked 

 hindwing. The proximal part of the hindwing is beneath red, the liroad lilack border has small white spots 

 and at the distal margin there is a yellow sulnnarginal band. 



spio. D. spio Godt. (30 a), from the Antilles, has the forewing sharply falcate in both sexes. In the $ the 



yellow-red markings of the ^ are sulphur-yellow. 



cubiuiii. D. cubana H.-Sch. (30b). from Culja, has the forewing only moderately pointed and resembles spio 



in markings and colouring. ^ > - 



luxiana.!. D. lysianax Hew. (30 b), from the Upper Amazon, has the forewing completely rounded. Only the 



9 is known, which differs from the (J of cubana by the absence of the yellow subapical spots and further in that 

 the yellow median band is extended to the base in a narrow stripe at the costal margin, 



tricolor. D. tricolor S. ({■ K. (30 b) resemldes Hcliconius vicinus Men. Only the $ is known. Upper surface 



black, forewing with a broad yellow median band and red inner-marginal stripe, hindwing with red median 

 band and a yellow-red submarginal spot at the distal margin. Under surface similar, but the red on the hind- 

 wing reduced to small stripes, and white submarginal spots. Habitat still unknown. 



amphione. D. amphione Cr. (30 b, c), from Guiana, bears a superficial resemblance to certain forms of Heli- 



arsinor. conius erato. — arsinoe FIdr., from Colombia, differs in the larger and snow-white scent-seale-area on the hind- 

 wing; the inner margin of the forewing is red-brown and between submedian and median there is a small black 

 uslynomides stripe in the red-brown. — In astynomides Stf/r. i. L, from Venezuela, this black stripe is absent and the inner
