188 TAYGETIS. By G. Weymer. 



brownish ochre-yellow band, which is proximally strongly dentate and extends fro,n the apex to the inner 

 angle. Under surface light reddish brown with 2 straight parallel brown transverse lines through both wings 

 as in virgilia. At the distal side of the 2nd transverse line a whitish nebulous strijie. In the inarginal area 

 a row of white dots in indistinct rmgs and a brown dentate line. From Colombia (Bogota, Carmen), Venezuela, 

 and Peru. According to Fa.ssl the egg is almost twice as large as that of Pap. machnon, white, spherical and 

 completely covered with fine pores like a Corades-egg. 



acuta. T. acuta spec. nov. (45 b) approaches virgilia in the markings, but the shape is different. The forewing 



is much longer at the costal margin, the hindvving at the inner margin, whilst the inner margin of the fore- 

 wing and the costal margin of the hind>vmg are the same length as in virgilia. The distal margin of the forewing 

 is consequently much more oblique. Vein 1 b (the submedian) of the hindwing runs out into a sharply pro- 

 jecting point. The point at vein 4 is even sharper. On the other hand the margin does not project at the 

 other veins, but is only shghtly midulate. Upper surface unicolorous brown. Under surface yellowish grey- 

 brown with 2 straight brown lines as in virgilia, but the outer line runs more parallel with the distal margin. 

 At the co,stal margin of the forewing it is 11, at the inner margin 9 mm. from the margin, whilst the distance 

 in virgilia amounts to 14 and 7 mm. On the hindiviiig also this line runs for the most part parallel 

 with the distal margin. From Espirito Santo (Brazil). 



celia. T. celia Cr. (45 a). The distal margin of the forewing forms an obtuse angle on vein 5. The hind- 



wing is dentate not only in the posterior half but also in the anterior, the tooth at vein 4 is stronger than 

 the others. Upper surface miicolorous brown. Under surface yellowish grey-brown, on the hindvving with 

 a somewhat violet tone, with 3 strongly curved brown stripes and the distal margin partly brown. On 

 the third stripe are placed on each wing 5 dark brown eye-spots with white pupils and brown-yellow rings. 

 kenezn. From Surinam, Brazil, Panama (Veragua). — keneza Btlr. (45 b) is a form of celia, which only differs in the 

 less prominent eye-spots and an ochre-yellow spot on the middle of the hindwing beneath. From Nicaragua, 

 haemcM. Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, C4uiana; Brazil (St. Catharina). — haenschi form. nov. (45 b) is a considerably 

 larger form of celia, expanse (^ 71 mm., $ 85 mm. The wmgs with more strongly produced apex. Above 

 brown, the fringes between the veins whitish. On the underside the median band of the hind»ving is almost 

 straight and distally sharply bounded by a dark brown line. The distal margin of both wings is in the 3* 

 broadly bordered with dark brown, in the $ on the other hand the whole under surface is lighter grey-brown 

 and only the boundary-lme of the bands dark brown. Hence the dark brown rings of the eye-spots stand 

 out more distinctly in the $ than in the 3*. The pupil of the ocellus in cellule 2 of the hindv\'ing is much larger 

 than the others. Collected in Bolivia by Haensch and named m his honour. Colombia (Rio Vitaco). 



uncinaia. T. uncinata Weym. (45 b) has the shape and size of celia Cr. Above brown with dark brown distal 



margin about 3 mm broad, white-grey for 1 mm. at the extreme edge, ciliae likewise white-grey. The under 

 surface is characteristically marked in that from the dark brown median band of the forewing, which is 8 mm 

 broad and separates the bluish grey basal half from the yellowish grey marginal area, a pointed tooth projects 

 distally on vein 4, d viding th? lighter part of the marginal area into 2 parts. On the hind ving the brown 

 median band is removed further distad, so that it closely approaches the eye-spots. From Mexico. The spe- 

 cies seems to be rare. 



ancjulosn. T. angulosa Ife^/'rt. (45 b). This is an isolated species as regards shape and markings. The distal mar- 



gin of the forewing is ventricose in the middle, that of the hindwing forms a rectangular tooth on vein 4, 

 but has no other sharp angles'. Expanse 68 mm. Upper surface grey-brown, at -/s the length of the wing is 

 placed at the costal margin of the forewing a distally and posteriorly curved yellow-grey stripe, which only 

 reaches to cellule 3. Hindwing with a dark brown submarginal line. Under surface yellowish grey, dotted 

 with brownish, the veins darker. The transverse lines fine, dark brown. The anterior transverse line ex- 

 tends on both wings through the cell to the median. On the hindwing it is continued to the inner margin. 

 The 2nd transverse line forms on the forewing a W, the points of which are placed on veins 3 and 4, on 

 the hindwing it forms a right angle on vein 4. In the marginal area 3 white dots on the forewing and 5 on the 

 hindwing; then follows a thin dentate submarginal line. Brazil (Amazonas, Petropolis). Rare. 



andromeda. T. androttieda Cr. (= laches F., fatua Hbn.). Expanse 68 — 83 mm. The distal margin of the fore- 



wing in the (J produced into a somewhat obtuse angle at veins 5 and 6, in the $ this angle is not present, 

 the margin being uniformly rounded here. Hindwing in (J and $ uniformly angled at all the veins. Above 

 imicolorous brown, thf" lighter band of the under surface in the $ showing through faintly above. Under 

 surface bluish grey, with a rather broad basal band and a very broad, dark brown median band. The latter 

 is distally straight and sharply defined, and is followed by a straight, whiti.sh grey band extending from the costal 

 margin of the forewing to the hindnargin of the hindwing. Beside tliis are placed in the marginal area on the 

 forewing 5, on the hindwing 6 yellow-brown ocelli with ochre-yellow and brown rings and white pupils, only 

 the 5th ocellus on each wing is brown or black. From Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, 

 Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Guiana, the Amazon to South Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo) and Paraguay.
