242 STEREMNIA; GYROCHEILUS: ELINA. By G. Weymer. 



powdered with white. Hindwiiig dark ohve-brown, marbled and spotted with black, distal area lighter witli 

 a strongly dentate olive-brown submarginal band, a row of white dots before it, and some whitish yellow 

 spots and streaks at the costal margin and anal angle. The distal margin is entirely dark brown. From Huanca- 

 bamba, North Peru, at 3000 m. 

 agraiilis. P. agrauHs spec. nov. (51 f). c?: above reddish brown, somewhat glossy, a't the base somewhat darker. 



ForeM'ing with 3 white dots before the distal margin in cellules 3, 4 and 5. fringes white, spotted witli black 

 on the veins. Hindwing with 4 white dots in cellules 2 to 5. Marginal lines dark brown, fringes unicolorous 

 brown. Forewing beneath brown, apex and distal margin white, irrorated with dark brown. The white dots 

 of the upper sru-face are likewise present. Hindwing beneath dark grey, marbled with white and black, at the 

 costal margin 2 broken white spots, at the inner margin 2 triangular grey spots, before the distal niargin 

 a row of white dots in black rings. Fringes brown. Differing from ■monacheUa in the absence of the dark brown 

 scale-spot in the middle of the forewing above, the different shape of the markings on the hindwing beneath 

 and especially in the absence of the dark black-grey border. Moreover the incisions in the distal margin are 

 deeper and the teeth more pointed. Prom Bolivia.

leme. 



This genus lacks not only the teeth beyond the middle of the costal margin of the hindwing which 

 Sferoma possesses, but also the one placed at the apex itself, which projects rectangularly in Pseudosteronia. 

 Hence the somewhat convex costal margin of the hindwing passes into the distal margin in almost an even 

 curve. The excision of the inner margin is not so deep and the teeth of the distal margin i)roject less than 

 in the two preceding genera. 



■poly.ro. S. polyxo Godm. tfc Salv. Above brown, in the (^ unicolorous, in the '^^ with an obscure reddish brown 



submarginal band on both wings. Beneath the forewing brown, with yellowisii brown apex. Hindwing yellow- 

 ish brown, striated with dark brown, with a yellowish band before the naiddle, which is anteriorly widened 

 and cleft into two. Before the distal margin a broad yellowish band, which in the posterior half of the wing 

 projects widely proximad in 2 teeth, forming the letter W. Collected in the Sierra Nevada of 8anta Marta 

 (Colombia) by Simons and Tetens. 



rugikis. S. rugilas Thieme (52a). Above brown; on the forewing somewhat reddish before the middle of 



the distal margin. Forewing beneath reddish brown with grey apex, hindwing black-brown marbled with 

 light, with indistinct white median band, arising from a white costal spot, and a row of white dots before the 

 somewhat lighter distal margin. Colombia, Callegos on the Quindiu Pass at an elevation of 3000 m. (Fassl). 



misclla. S. misella Thieme (52 a). Above olive-brown, towards the margin somewliat lighter, the (J with 



scale-spot. Fringes of both wings chequered with brown and white. Beneath darh brown, at the distal margin 

 of the hindwing and the apex of the forewing somewhat lighter and finely striated with dark, with an indistinct 

 submarginal line. The teeth of the hindwing project but little. From Huancabamba in North Peru. 



36. Genus: Cn.yiMtclit'iliis Btlr. 



Ciosta of the forewing strongly curved, distal margin but little undulate, that of the hindwing dentate, 

 inner margin of the hindwing rather strongly excised. The costal vein of the forewing is rather strongly swollen. 

 Of the sidjcostal veins of the forewing the first arises before the end of the cell, the 2ncl just at its anterior 

 angle, the rest behind it. The middle discocellular vein on both wings is angularly bent inwards, consequently 

 the posterior part of the cell is longer than the anterior. Medium-sized, dark brown l)utterflics. inhabiting 

 Mexico and the neighbouring state of Arizona. 



patrobus. G. patrobas Hew. (52 b). Above dark brown, forewing with 4 white dots in a row, fringes chequered 



with black and white. Hindwing with a broad red-brown submarginal band, on the proximal edge of which 

 stand 2 white dots in cellules 2 and 3, and with a narrow, somewhat obscure red-brown stripe between this 

 band and the distal margin. Beneath the wings are even darker brown than above. On the forewing the apex 

 is powdered with white and the white dots are placed in black rings. On the hinchving the distal margin is broadly 

 bluish grey, marbled with red-yellow and brown, at its ])roxinial side is placed a row of whitish yellow 

 spots, at its distal side several brown lines separated by red-yellow^ ones. In the highlands of Mexico 



iriUntui. (Oaxaca, North Sonora, Durangocity, Jalapa). — The form tritonia Ediv. only differs in its darker upper surface, 

 the infuscated red-brown band of the hindwing and the absente of the white dots in this band. On the forewing 

 above and beneath there are sometimes only 3 white tlots instead of 4. From Arizona and North Mexico. 



37. Genii.'^: I^^liiia Bhturh. 



In this geims 2 subcostal veins arise before the end of the cell on the forewing, the rest beyond it. 

 The costal and median of this wing are inflated at the base. The distal margin of the forewing is undulate, that 

 of the hindwing strongly dentate and its inner margiii excised. The genus consists of medium-sized and small 

 butterfhes, and occurs in Chile and the adjoining and neighbouring countries.
