234 TETRAPHLEBIA; FAUNULA. By G. Weymer. 



wing are basally pointed, distally broad. Beneath the forewing is IjroAvnisIi red-yellow, with a black spot 

 before the apex, placed on a light yellow streak. Hindwing beneath similar to that of williamsianus, but the 

 broad median band is bipartite, dividing into 2 bands, the outer one distally strongly dentate at the veins. 

 Locality: Sajama in Bolivia. This form was collected by Stubel and in working out his captures I took it 

 at the time for the similar nionficolens. 



viih'.-ii. C. niilesi Weeks. Above brown, with a hght brown band before the (barker margin, occasionally 



also proximally bordered with dark. Before the apex of the forewing 2 black, wliite-pupilled ocelli with yellow 

 rings close together, a similar smaller ocellus below them. Hindwing with black submarginal line, without 

 eye-spots. The ocelli on the forewing ai'e occasionally absent, in which case there is merely a black si)ot be- 

 fore the apex. The under surface is dark brown with slight golden gloss. Two dark lines traverse both Avings, 

 one in the middle, the other before the distal mai'gin. The basal half of the foreA\ing is here A\'ithout niarkings. 

 On the hindwing all the veins are white, between the 2 lines is placed a row of 4 or 5 elongate white spots, 

 and the basal half of the wing is covered with short dark transverse streaks. From Sicasica in Bolivia. 



qiiicn. C. quies Berg. Above brown with a broad red-yellow band across both wings, reaching to the ajial 



angle, on the forewing distally and proximally dark bordered and bearing before the apex a double eyc-s])ot 

 and in cellule 2 a single one. The middle of the forewing is likewise dusted with red-yellow. Hindwing \\ithout 

 ocelli. Beneath the forewing is as above, the red-yellow band proximally somewhat lighter. Hiiuhving dark 

 grey, striated with brown, with a broad whitish band across the middle. The distal margin of the hindwing 

 is somewhat dentate. The $ is similar to the ^. but the colouring is lighter and the markings weaker. From 

 phiiiii. Patagonia and the southern part of Argentina. — plana fofiii. nov. (51 a) is a form nearly agreeing with ej tries 

 beneath, but with the 2 eye-spots on the upper surface placed in ochre-yellow rings, the lower without white 

 pupils, in the middle of the wing M'ith a row of 4 small red-brown spots. In the anterior half of the hind- 

 wing is placed an indistinct red-brown band. On the under siirface this form differs from cpdes in having the 

 basal half of the forewing reddish brown with 2 brown, angled marks in the cell. In addition the distal margin 

 of the hinchving is almost smooth, while in ijtiies it is dentate. From Uruguay. 



stalia. C. statia spec. nov. (51 a). Above unicolorous brown, without spots. Beneath grey-brown, the basal 



area of the forewing red-brown to beyond the middle, before the apex a round black eye-spot with 2 white 

 pupils and an indistinct yellowish ring. Hindwing with 2 strongly curved, dentate dark brown transverse lines 

 across the middle, formed merely of hniules. The ground-colour is grey-brown to the 2nd transverse line, the 

 marginal area lighter and grey, or containing 2 brown sjjots in brown elongate rings in cellules 2 and 5, a 

 red-brown, dentate submarginal line and a black marginal line. From Chile. 



23. ficmis: Tctraplilobia Fldr. 



In the forewing the 2nd subcostal vein arises close beyond the end of the cell, the uj)per discocellular 

 is short, the middle twice as long as the lower; the cells are strongly pi'oduced at the posterior end. The club 

 of the antenna is thin, the palpus short and thinly haired. Distal margin of the hindwing rounded. 



ficrmciinii. T. germaitlii Fldr. (= Sat. promaucana Reed). Dark brown, beyond the middle of both wings dusted 



with reddish brown, on the hindwing more weakly than on the forewing. Beneath the base and the costal and 

 distal margins of the forewing are brown, the central area red-brown with brown median band. Before the 

 apex a large black eye-spot with double white piipil and red-yellow ring. The hindwing beneath likewise 

 brown with a broad white band beyond the middle of the wing, running parallel with the distal margin. This 

 band is sharply defined proximally, but ill-defined distally. Rare at Chilian and in the A^illacura Valley in Chile 

 at elevations of 3UUU — 4000 ft. According to Rked not rare in the central provinces of Chile. 



24. (iemis: F'aiiiiiila Fldr. 



Build almost as in the preceding genus, but the hairs of the palpus are longer and the 2nd suln'ostal 

 vein of the forewing arises much further from the cell. 



leucoyh'tic. F. leucoglene Fldr. Above broAvn, the forewiiig in the ^ with raised darl< scales in the disc, 



before the distal margin dusted with ferruginous. Beneath but little lighter, before the apex of the forewing 

 a black eye-spot with thick white ])upil and 2 dark transverse lines, which unite on median vein 2 and 

 are here dusted with ferruginous. The hindwing broAvn, faintl^y spotted with ferruginous. This species has 

 rarely been taken and is confined to high mountains in Chile, namely the Cordilleras at Condes near Santiago 

 at altitudes of between (5 and 10 000 ft. and the pass from Loico to Lon(iuimay at SOOO ft. Flies in January. 



sicllujcm. F. stelligera Bllr. Above brown. Forewing with ferruginous streaks in cellules 2 — 4. Hindwing with 



three pointed ferruginous spots in the same celhdes. Fringes dark grey. Beneath the basal half of the fore- 

 wing is ferruginous, the distal half and also the costal and inner margins brown, finely striated with dai'k. Be- 

 fore the apex a rather large black eye-spot with double Avhite piipil and yellow ring. Hindwing beneath brown.
