Parepa Group. 



P. parepa Heir. (55 1.). Recognizable by the narrow red-yellow macular band on tlie ujipcr surface pare,,,!. 

 of both wings. Beneatli the forewing is exactly as above except tliat tiie ajjex is marbled with grey. Tiie 

 distal half of the hindwing is similarly nuirbled. The dark brown basal area forms a right angle in the middle. 

 From Ecuador (Huigera, Guishapa, Loja). — milvia Thieme is probably the Peruvian form of p/m/td. The mllri,,. 

 red-yellow band is confined to the anterior part of the forewing and is entirely absent on the hindwing. Distal 

 half of the hindwing grey-brown beneath, with i' black ocelli standing out distinctly. From Ohosico in Peru 

 (S50m.). There is only one female examjilc, in the Tring Museum. 



P. phaea Hew. Both wings traversed Iteyond the middle by a brownish red-yellow band, which on the ph,ir,i. 

 forewing is divided into oval s])ots. In the V the bands are Ijroader and not divided on the forewing. The 

 undei surface is similar to that of the figured ochrntaenin.. but the bands are nari-ower. Ocanna in Coloml)ia. — 

 ochrotaenia Fhh. (55 e) is a form of pliitid in which the band on the u])]ier surface is not divided; in the $ orhroUimht. 

 it is iiroader ((imm.) and more ochre-ycllow. From Bogota (Colombia). — fuscata Fldr. (55 e), a further form /(/.s-m/,(. 

 belonging here, has the broad band on the ujijjcr surface strongly suffu.scd with smoke-brown, obliterating its 

 edges. On the under surface, on the other ha,nd, the band is not ochre-yellow but more red-yellow. From 

 Bogota (Muzo), Paramo de Guasco. — In amafania Thietne, another pJuwa. form, the red-yellow i)and is ]:)lace(l <iiiiitj,inkt. 

 nearer to the margin and runs parallel with it throughout. Its margins are smooth, nowdiere interrupted and 

 not angled, merely somewhat ventricose in the middle of the hindwing. Beneath tlie band is light ochre-yellow 

 and there is a white spot at the costa of the hindwing and another at the anal angle. From Calianga (province of 

 CIuzco) in Peru. Coll. Staudinger in the Berlin Museum. 



P. alusana Heir. The red-yellow band is placed somewdiat beyond the middle. It is broadest in the aliisinia. 

 middle of the forewing, narrowest at the inner margin of this wing; at radial 1 on the hindwing it is intt'r- 

 rupted on the upperside and forms a right angle on the underside. Thei'e are also here in the distal area of the 

 hindwing some ochre-yellow spots and a row of white dots. From Alusana in Ecuador (Coll. Hewitsox, Brit. 

 Mus.). 



P. praxia Heir. Above l)rown w ith a red-brown band beyond the middle of the forewing, nmning ])arallcl i'ni.ria. 

 ^\ ith the distal nuirgin, and a red-brown costal spot on the hindwing. On the under surface of the forewing this 

 band is much broader posteriorly and is white at its origin, on the costal margin. A red-brown spot is placed 

 in the cell. From Jima in Ecuador. 



P. thiemei Stgr. (55 f). The dark red-yellow band, which runs from the costal margin of the forewing lliieiiiei. 

 to the inner margin of the hindwing, is somewhat lighter on the underside of the forewing. but on the hindwing 

 ochre-yellow, covered with brown s])eckling. In the $ the band is aI)out a third broader beneath than in the ,j. 

 Fi'om the Quindiu Pass in Colombia. (:!S0() m.). Thieme, Fassl. 



P. peruda Heir. Above brown with a broad, straight red-yellow band beyond the middle, which is ihi-ikIh. 

 pointed at the costal margin of the forewing and the inner margin of the hindwing. Beneath tiie band is even 

 broader than above, on the forewing red-yellow, on the hindwing nearly white, somewhat nuirbled with brownish. 

 The distal nuii-gin of both wings is dusted with grey. Amaz(.)n. Coll. Brit. Mus. 



P. symmachus Goditi. d' >S<ilr. Aliove dark brown with a. dark red-yellow baiifl ."{ mm. in breadth .■<!/iiiiiiiirliii.'i. 

 running across iioth wings near to and parallel with the distal margin. On the underside of the forewing the band 

 is broader and lighter red-yellow. On the hindwing beneath 2 ochre-yellow stri))es occu])y the ])lace of the banii. 

 Sierra Nevada of Santa Maria in Colombia. 



P. ornata iSin. (= phaeaca Styr.) (55 f). The red-yellow band of the forewing is as strongly curved nnia/d. 

 jiroximally on the underside as on the ujiper. The hindwing })eneath has an ochre-yellow transver.se band, w hicii 

 fi >rms a right angle on the lower radial. Beyond it is placed a row of white dots in brown rings. Merida (Venezuela). 



P. phaeina Stgr. (= Pronoph. ])haea var. Heir.) (51 b). On the forewing the band is only very weakly iilmriiiti. 

 indicated, but on the hindwing it is bright red-yellow and occupies almost half the breadth of the wing. On 

 the under surface this band is light oi'lu'c-yellow on the iiindwing. proxinuilly straight-edged and distally dentate ; 

 finely s|>rinkled with brown, with a row of white, brown-bordered dots. Pacho (.^OdO m.) in theColomb. East 

 Cordilleras (Fassl); Central Cordilleras of Colombia (Thieme). 



P. pelinna //fH'. (55 e). May be known by the obliquely placed yet straight band of the forewing. The iir/iima. 

 band of the hindwing is anteriorly constiicted, and forms in the middle '2 distally directed teeth. The colour 

 of the bands is bright ochre-yellow. Beneath the bands are the same, only much lighter. Ecuador (Rosario, 

 Villagomes, Macas). 



P. parrhoebia Hem. Recognizable by the rose-red colour of the band, which forms two angles on the ixu-rltorhid. 

 forewing and one on the hindwing, and has its proximal edge quite irregxdarly dentate. On the under surface 

 the tVu-ewing is as above, on the hindwing the band is broken up into several light brown spots. From Galgalan 

 in Kt:uador.
