CEEATINIA. By B. Haensch. 133 



As C. mysotis spec. iiov. I designate a species from Venezuela similar to e.vancscens, with shorter wings, mysolis. 

 in which the red-brown colom'ing is absent except for the spot at the hinder angle. The hindmargin of the 

 forewing is broadly blackish to the median. Both wings have white marginal dots. 



C. fiammetta Hew. is a peculiar, rare species from South Brazil of the size and pattern of lupltria. On fiammclta. 

 the forewing the red-brown colour only extends from the base to ','3, behind it there are 2 transparent spots 

 apically before the yellowish l)and. On the hindwing the red-brown is entirely absent; this is transparently 

 yellowish, with broad black distal margin and small white marginal dots. 



C. metella Hpffr. (35 b, c) (= alexia Bruce), from eastern Peru, has in the ^ transparent yellowish vutclla. 

 wings with black margins and a half-band at the end of the cell of the forewing. The base of the forewing and 

 the proximal half of the hindwing are reddish yellow-brown. Both wings have small white distal-marginal 

 dots. In the $ the wings are scarcely at all transparent, much more brightly coloured, with broader, black 

 margins. The disc of the hindwing is red-brown. — In the similar oulita Hew. the base of the forewing is oulila.

 wing, so that in the $ only a smaller, yellow-red spot is present at the inner angle. 



The (^ of C. norella Hew. has a deep lilack basal half to the forewing, in which a yellow spot is placed norella. 

 at the end of the cell. In the $ the whole forewing is black except for the yellow spots in the disc and the 

 white marginal dots. The form occurs only in the valleys of the Andes of Ecuador, south-east of Cuenca. 



— In the allied norellana Hsch., from the upper vallej' of the Napo in Ecuador, the base of the hindwing norellana. 

 is not yellowish and the reddish colour only extends to the end of the cell. The part between this and the 



broad distal margin is transparent l.)lackish. This rare form occurs in open places in the primeval forests, 

 where it is fond of hovering round single trees at a few metres from the ground or resting upon projecting 

 branches. — nora Hscli. is another allied form from Peru. Here the forewing is as in norellana, the base trans- vora. 

 parent. The black spot at the end of the cell is isolated. The hindwing is only reddish at the anal angle, as 

 in lurida (35 c), the distal half is transparent yellowish. 



C. lurida Btlr. (35 c) is marked like 7iora, but has white dusting instead of the yellow colour in the disc lurida. 

 of the forewing and at the end of the cell of the hindwing; also the underside of the abdomen is whitish, in 

 the preceding form yellow. — The smaller tricolor Salv. has similar markings to oulita Hew., but also white tricolor. 

 instead of yellow colour. In the $ there is an oblong white patch at the end of the cell of the hindwing. — 

 Whilst in tricolor the black spot at the end of the cell of the forewing is broadly connected with the costal margin, 

 in an otherwise very similar form, which I call florens form, nov., there is only a narrow, isolated streak at florens. 

 the end of the cell. — The last three forms are found at the boundary of Peru and Bolivia. 



In the following species the wings are almost entirelj^ vitreous. 



Some, as C. ocna H.-Schdff. (35 c), have still a small red-yellow spot at the anal angle of the hindwing. ocna. 

 The base of the wing is yellowisli. This species flies singly in eastern Colombia and Ecuador. — adelinda adelinda. 

 Hew., from Ecuador, is a very similar form, with broader, black distal margin, without white marginal dots 

 on the upper surface. 



C. praxilla Heir, is an allied, S(jmewhat larger species from eastern Ecuad(n-, without yellow colour praxilla. 

 at the anal angle of the hindwing. In contrast to ocna and most of the allied forms, pru.rilla, coeno, etc., have 

 black antenna and a white spot at the base of the hindwing beneath, the former a yellow streak and yellow 

 club to the antenna. 



C. guttata Wcijni. is a form of coeno Hew. (35 d). It has a red-yellow spot at the anal angle of the fgg.,"Q_ ' 

 hindwing. coeno itself, from Colombia and Venezuela, has the basal half of the hindwing dusted with yellow. 

 In the ^ the black distal margins are narrower. — ■ ab. latiiimbata Weym. is a form of coeno with broad black latilimbata. 

 margins and large white marginal dots, from Colombia. 



In C. frater Sale, from Peru, the wings are dusted with whitish, and at the anal angle is placed a smaller fralcr. 

 yellow patch. 



In C, cana Hsch., from Colombia, the wings are dusted with whitish, the yel'ow patch is absent. On cana. 

 the other hand a blackish band runs across the middle of the cell of the forewing. 



C. statiila Hew. (35 c) is distinguished from the very similar frater by the yellow club of the antenna slalilla. 

 and yellow underside of the abdomen, which is grey in frater. The end of the cell of the forewing is without 

 markings, whilst in atagalpa Hsch. a blackish band is placed across the end of the cell of the forewing. Both atagalpa. 

 forms come from eastern Peru. 



C. antea Hew. (35 d), from Ecuador, the largest species of the genus, has colourless wings with broad anlea. 

 black margins and small, white distal-marginal dots. The club of the antenna, base of the hindwing beneath 

 and underside of the abdomen are yellow. On the high bank of the upper Pastaza this interesting species was
