190 TAYGETIS. By G. Weymer. 



distally straight-edged; at the base only a little lighter, the basal area of the hind wing bordered by a straight 

 dark transverse stripe, in the marginal area traversed throughout by a lilac transverse band, which on the fore- 

 wing is anteriorly broad and posteriorly narrow, but on the hindwing on the contrary anteriorly narrow and 

 posteriorly broad, and in which on each wing are placed 5 white dots. Of these dots the one in cellule 2 on 

 the hindwing is surrounded by a broad black ring and a fine ochre-yellow one, which is 272 mm. in diameter. 

 From Chiriqui and from the Amazon. 



zippora. T. zippora Btlr. Shape and size of godmani. Above brown, before the apex of the forewing with a 



large triangular, yellow-grey spot, in the middle of the hindwing a very large, round, black spot, which ex- 

 tends nearly to the costal margin, but not to the distal and inner margins. On the under surface the base 

 of both wings is black-brown, at the inner margin and distally lighter, with two black transverse lines, of which 

 the distal one is bordered with lilac, apex of both wings dusted with lilac, an xmdulate submarginal line and the 

 distal margin itself black. Forewing with five, hindwing with seven small, brown, white-centred and yellow- 

 ringed ocelli, of which the 5th on the hindwing is larger than the others. Recognizable by the large black 

 spot on the upperside of the hindwing. Cayenne. Rare. 



echo. T. echo Or. (= betro Godt.). Above brown with large, velvety, black-brown spot in the middle 



and a red-brown diffuse band before the apex of the forewing. Beneath the larger basal half is dark brown, 

 the smaller distal half lighter brown, the boundary of the two colours is formed on the hindwing by a straight 

 line, on the forewing by a somewhat curved one. In the marginal area there are five white dots on the fore- 

 velutina. wing and six on the hindwing. Surinam, Cayenne, Amazons (Ega). — velutina Stgr. (46 a) is a form 

 differing but little from echo, in which the velvety spot of the forewing is deeper black, but the red-brown 

 band more indistinct. From Puerto Cabello (Venezuela) and Surinana. 



hrniriJiaasi. T. bRngha&s'i Spec. 710V. {45 d). Expanse 55 mm., forewing at the apex rectangular, at the distal margin 



rounded, somewhat ventricose. Hindwing between the veins only slightly excised. Upper surface unicolorous 

 brown. Under surface in the basal half of both wings grey-brown with an almost straight dark brown transverse 

 line. Before the discocellular in the cell of both wings a diffuse ochre-j'ellow spot. Distal half of the wings 

 yellow-brown. A lilac-coloured band, 2 — 3 mm. in breadth, with washed-out margins, runs on both wings 

 from the ajaex to the inner angle, on the forewing in a proximally directed curve, on the hindwing straight. 

 At the proximal side of this band on each wing five white dots, on the forewing indistinct, on the hindwing 

 distinct, especially the dot in cellule 2. Named in honour of Herr Bang-Haas of Dresden. From the Rio 

 Songo (1200 m) (Yimgas), Bolivia. 



piirifatia. T. puritana Weeks. As the author says nothing about the relationship to other species and of the shape 



of the wings, it is possibly not correctly placed here: Expanse 3 inches = 76 mm. Upper surface dark brown 

 with white marginal line. Under surface much lighter brown with a, broad dark band through the juiddle of 

 both wings. A dark brown line crosses the middle of the cell of the forewing and extends to the irmer margin. 

 At the end of the cell a fine brown bar. Then follows the dark brown band, shading off lighter proximally, 

 which extends from the costa to the submedian and is sharply defined distally by a dark brown line. In the 

 light brown marginal area a dark brown, zigzag submarginal line and a row of six white dots, which are mar- 

 gined with brown, at the distal margin a white line. On the hindwing the dark band stands out more strongly. 

 Its proximal margin is boimded by a dark line, which begins at the costa 8 mm. from the base and extends 

 to the middle of the inner margin. The line which forms the distal margin of the band extends from the middle 

 of the costal margin across the end of the cell to the inner margin, which it reaches 8 mm before the anal angle. 

 The marginal area is as on the forewing, but only five white dots are present, which, however, stand out more 

 distinctly. Bolivia (Coroico). 



sah-hii. T. salvini Stgr. (45 d). Above unicolorous brown, the hindwing in this and the two following species 



shortly but uniformly angled on veins 1 b to 4. Under surface reddish grey-brown, the first transverse line 

 on both wings a little curved distad, dark brown, the distal half of the median area broadly filled up with 

 dark brown and straight-edged, the marginal area broader anteriorly than posteriorlj^ its proximal half lilac. 

 Each wing with five ocelli, the last on the hindwing filled in with black, the others yellow-brown, all with 

 white pupils. Colombia, Panama (Chiriqui). 



tripunctiiia. T. triputictata Wey7n. (45 d). Above brown with three white spots in a straight row one below ano- 



ther on the forewing, the light band of the underside shows through somewhat above on the hindwing. Under 

 surface lighter brown with narrow, almost straight, distally diffuse white band scarcely 1 mm. in breadth 

 across both wings, and five white, brownish-margined spots on each wing, as well as a finely dentate submargin- 

 al line. The marginal area of the forewing is equally broad anteriorly and posteriorly. From Puerto Bertoni 

 and Nuova Germania (Paragiiay).
