2fi2 . PEDALIODES. By O. Wevmer. 



liliiii/iii. P. phintia Htir. Tlu' upj)cisiile is similar to that of the pieceding species, as is also the underside of 



the forewing, except that it hears a small light hrown spot in the cell and the apex is broadly light l)ro\vn, 

 marbled with black. The hiiuhving beneath has a straight white band before and a light brown l)and l)eyond 

 the middle, proximally margined with white. A black spot with white centre is placed anteriorly in this band and 

 2 similar ones before the distal margin. From Jima in Ecuador. 

 pliiloicrii. P. philotera Hew. (55 e). The dark red-yellow band forms an acute angle on the hindwing. On the 



under surface the hindwing is brown, crossed by 2 ochre-yellow parallel stripes which arise from a costal 

 margin of the same colour and divide off a dark pointed triangle proximally and a long quadrate patch in the 

 middle of the wing. Colombia (Piiramo de Guasco, 3000 m. [Stvbel], Quindiu Pass, 3500 m. [Fas.sl]). 

 phociiicKxd. p. phoenicusa Heiv. One of the largest species of the genus, with an expanse of 70 mm. The forewing 



is ]iointed, the tlistal margin dentate. Brown. Forewing with a distally curved red-yellow transverse band 

 beyond the middle. Hindwing only with a red-yellow spot at the costal mai'gin. Beneath the forewing is as 

 above, except that it bears in addition a red-yellow spot in the cell and a grey spot at the apex. Hindwing 

 beneath grey, marbled with brown, with a broad, lighter, dentate submarginal band, on which is placed a row 

 of white, black-edged dots. Ecuador. Very rare. Only in coll. Hewitson (Brit. Mus.). 



Physcoa Group. 



physcixi. P. physcoa Hew. Above brown with a large, obliquely placed, oval red-yellow patcii at the anal angle 



of the forewing.. Beneath the distal half of both wings is marbled with grey and brown, the red-yellow spot 



mnriilhi. as above. From Bolivia (Yungas de la Paz, Corvico). — marulla Tliieme (5(3 a) is a form of physcoa in which the 



red-yellow spot does not rise obliquely but steeply, thus running nearly parallel with the distal margin. From 



Ghanchamayo in Peru. 



rn-ihn. P. ereiba Fldr. (= Pron. pasicrates Hew.) (55 f). May be known by the broad red-brown submarginal 



band on })oth surfaces of the forewing, which is dark brown. Figured from Felder's type in the Tring Museum. 



rrniirm. Bogota (Lindig), La Vega, Colombian East Cordillera, 2200 m. (Fassl). — cremera (iodm. d- Salv. (erroneously 



called cremona on the plate in the "Biologia Centrali- Americana") is a form of ereiba Fldr. in which the 



band is more red-yellow and is curved basewards at the costal margin. On the under surface this band bears 



between the first and second median vein a small black, white-])ui)illed eye-s])ot. On the hindwing the last 



2 eye-shaped dots in the submarginal row before the anal angle are larger and more distinct. From the Volcan 



Irazu in Costa Rica. 



pni.r'i/lii-(i. P. praxithea Heir. (56 a). A large and beautiful species. The red-yellow band is present also on the 



underside of tlie forewing. The hindwing is brown beneath, striated with dark brown, with a transverse band ir- 



rorated with whitish beyond the middle. Bolivia, Ecuador (St. Rosario, Villagomes). 



trhiria. P. triaria Godm. d- Salv. (56 a) is near to pra.rithea but is smaller and the red-yellow border of the 



hindwing extends to beyond the middle. Beneath the red-yellow band of the forewing is l)roader than above. 



and before the apex of the forewing, as well as before the distal margin of the hindwing, there is a row of 



white dots. From the Volcan Irazu in Costa Rica. 



pl(U(i. p. phila Heir. (55 f). Somewhat smaller even than the jn'eceding, but likewise similar to praxithea. 



The band on the hindwing only reaches ipedian vein 3. Tlie underside of the hindwing is uniformly marbled 



all over with light and dark brown, only with the apex ochre-yellowish. Bolivia (Yiingas de la Paz), Peru (Cal- 



phiiiicius. langa). — philaenis Thieme is a form of phiki in which the band of the forewing runs straight and reaches the 

 distal margin above the distal angle. Of the red-yellow .spots at the apex of the hindwing only an obscure ochre- 

 yellow submarginal line i-emains. On the under surface there is a white triangle at the apex of the forewing. 

 From Bafios in Ecuador. 



paxildii's. P. pandates Heir. Above brown with a broad oehreous marginal band, which in the anterior half of 



the forewing is broken up into spots, in the posterior half of this wing and on the hindwing is placed quite near 

 to the distal margin, only leaving a narrow brown border. On the under surface the band has the same 

 position and colour as above, but both wings are densely striated with dark brown. Tn the $ the band is pale 



pfi III ph Oft. yellow and nearly twice as broad as in the rj. Bolivia (Yungas de la Paz. (lorvico, Rio Songo). — paniphos 

 Thieme (56 a) should probably be regarded as only a form of pandates with the band entirely absent on the 

 upperside of the forewing, but on the luider surface scarcely differing appreciably. From Yimgas de la Paz 

 in Bolivia. 

 mipara. P. napaea Bates resembles on the upper surface the fortn pamphos, but is different beneath. Hei-e 



both wings are traversed by a sharply defined submarginal band, on the forewing grey, on the hindwing yellowish 

 with a pupilled eye-spot between the first and sec(jnd median veins. Guatemala. 



Juba Group. 

 jithn. P. Juba iStijr. (= cyrene »SVi.. d: Kirhy) (56 b). Above brown, be^-ond the mitldle of both wings with a
