244 ZABIRNIA: SABAT0C4A; LYMANOPODA. By G. Weymer. 



from Rio de Janeiro to Rio Grande do Sul, but also occurs (according to Staudinger) in Colombia. Boisduval 

 in his , , Species General" gave Chile as locality. Butler and Elwes, however, do not mention the species 

 in their lists of the Chilian butterflies, and Reed expressly says in his ,,Mariposas Chilenas" that it is not Chilian. 

 vidpecula. vulpecula Weym. (52 a) is a female form of tisiphone in which the macular band on the upperside is not yellowish 

 white but ferruginous red-brown. The cell of the forewing is also reddish brown. Only some small spots l)efore 

 the apex of the forewing remain light yellow. The under surface is entirely brownish ochreous, which colour 

 has absorbed all the white spots and rays, only the black veins, spots and longitudinal rays between the veins 

 being still present. From Rio Grande do Sul. 



eupolis. E. eupolis Hew. (52 a, b). Forewing above brown with red-yellow longitudinal stripes at the base, a 



sulphur-yellow band beyond the middle and a spot of the same colour before the ajjex. Hindwing red-yellow 

 with broad brown distal margin. Beneath as above, but lighter, the apex of the forewing with black longitu- 

 dinal lines, the hindwing with white, black-edged longitudinal rays between the veins in the marginal area. 

 flava. From Rio de Janeiro and E.sperito Santo. — As flava form. nov. I introduce a form of eupolis in which the red- 

 yellow colour of the forewing above and beneath is replaced by sulphur-yellow and the greater part of the hind- 

 wing is lemon-yellow; of the red-yellow colour of eupolis only a stripe about 4 mm. in breadth beside the brown 

 distal margin remains. Beneath the lemon-yellow ground-colour of the hindwing extends nearly to the termen, 

 the brown border being absent, but the black lines and veins, as well as the white, black-edged longitudinal 

 rays, are as in eupolis. From Esperito Santo. 



39. Genus: Zabiriiia Heu\ 



Size and shape of Catagramma. Head small. Eyes naked. Palpus long and thin, twice as long as the 

 head, covered with long hairs. Antenna less than half the length of the forewing, with long club. Forewing: 

 costal and distal margins convex. Inner margin straight. Costal strongly swollen at the base and reaching 

 to the middle of the costal margin. Two subcostal veins arise before the end of the cell, which is somewhat 

 more than half the length of the wing. The upper discocellular is short, the middle forms an angle inwards. 

 The distal margin of the hindwing is semicircular, the cell less than half the length of the wing. 



z'ujomahi. Z. zigomala Hew. Above dark brown. Basal half of the forewing reddish orange with the veins black. 



Beneath as above, but lighter brown, the distal half of the forewing and the whole of the hindwing, with all the 

 veins and the lines between them black, on the forewing 2 ochre-yellow spots at the costal margin beyond the 

 middle and a round black spot between the 1st and 2nd median vein. The hindwing has beyond the middle 

 an indistinct band, somewhat lighter than the ground-colour, running parallel with the distal margin. 54 mm. 

 From Jima in Ecuador. Coll. Hewitson (Brit. Mus.). 



40. Genus : ^iabatog-a Stgr. 



Apex of the forewing produced, not pointed but rounded, the inner angle on the contrary strongly round- 

 ed off, the costal margin nearly straight, hence the forewing is comparatively narrow. Only one subcostal 

 vein arises before the end of the cell, subcostal vein 4 runs into the costal margin immediately before the apex. 

 Hindwing with an obtuse angle in the middle of the distal margin. The rest of the neuration of this wing is as 

 in Idioneura; the cell is distally as strongly rounded as in that genus. Palpus long, M'ith long hairs. Antenna 

 thin with the club strongly thickened. Eyes naked. 



mirahilis. S. mirabilis Stgr. (^•. forewing brown-black with a large, transparent white inner-marginal spot and 



a small elongate subapical one. Hindwing whitish, inner margin, base and costal margin densely dusted with 

 dark brown-grey; only the apical half is pure white, with a row of black spots (which, however, may also be ab- 

 sent). Beneath the forewing is dirty white, with the apical area red-brown or dull yellow-brown. Hindwing 

 brown, towards the inner margin grey, on the median vein, the three median branches and the lower radial 

 are placed silvery stripes, some of which are bordered with brown. 5 black dots betw^een the veins. Only 2 

 examples of the species are known, in coll. Staudinger (now in the Zool. Museum in Berlin). They came from the 

 Thalenhorst collection at Hamburg and l)ear the locality-label: Sabatoga in Cohnnbia. 



41. Genus: Ij.yiiiaiiopoda Westw. 



Palpus long, with long, stiff, erect hairs, only the dorsal surface and the terminal joint short-haired. 

 Antenna with the club gradually thickened. A special distinguishing mark of the genus is that the forelegs of 

 the male are very much aborted. Eyes slightly hairy. In the forewing the costal is inflated at the base, 

 the median only slightly thickened, the submedian not at all. Two subcostal veins arise before the end 

 of the cell and the 4th subcostal runs into the costal margin before the apex. The upper discocellular is short, 

 the middle and lower vary in the different species. Sometimes the middle, sometimes the lower, forms a proxi- 

 mally directed angle, from which arises a small vein ruiuiing into the cell. Occasionally, however, this veinlet
