274 CORADES. By G. Weymer. 



beneath brown witli silvery striation at the apex and 3 red spots in the disc. Hindwing beneath striated 

 with silver througliout, with a broad yellow band across the middle, fluminalis Btlr. may probably be regarded 

 as the $ of pannonia. Upper surface brown with 2 white spots at the costa and 3 red-yellow ones between 

 or beside the median veins. Hindwing with 3 ferruginous streaks between the veins. Beneath the forewing 

 has paler spots. Hindwing ochre-yellow striated with copper-brown and with copper-brown median and marginal 

 ploa>i. bands. Venezuela. Butler does not give the locality of his fluminalis. — ploas Thieme (59 d) is the 

 Colombian form of pannonia. In it the 3 red-brown spots on the underside of the forewing are much dark- 

 ened and scarcely visible, the hindwing has instead of the broad yellow band a silvery grey one, which, however, 

 is largely covered with brown striation. The $ was found by Fassl and differs from the J in having 2 small 

 brownish white spots on the brown upper surface, placed at the costal margin, one 9, the other 17 mm. 

 from the apex, the latter bipartite. Apex and distal margin broadly lighter. The under surface is coloured 

 dmiina. like that of the t^, except that the white colour is somewhat more extended. A second form of the $ (domina 

 form, nov.) (59 d), in addition to the 2 somewhat more distinct white .spots, has on the upperside of the fore- 

 winc' a row of 4 red-yellow spots and on the hindwing a row of red-brown ones, and below them a red-brown 

 stripe which runs to before the tip of the tail. The flistal margin is also narrowly bordered with red-brown. The 

 under surface is as in the first female form. Colombia (Alto de las Cruces), 2400 m., West Cordillera. Accord- 

 ing to Fa.ssl tiie egg of ploas is somewhat larger than that of Pap. mackaon, bomb-shaped, bone-white, smooth 

 at the base, otlierwise much pitted. 

 arycnluta. C. argetitata Btlr. (= pannonia Hew. part.) (59 d). Above brown, distally lighter. Forewing beneath 



with 3 golden brown spots. Hindwing beneath witii dark I)asal and median areas, anteriorly separated by a 

 short silver line and distally bordered by a somewhat curved one. Bolivia. 

 tnclania. C. mclania Stgr. The tails are somewhat shorter, tiie upper surface unicolorous glos.sy bronze-brown. 



Under surface dark brown, forewing with a small wliitish spot between the first and second median veins, 

 whicli is sometimes absent. The liindwing is entirely covered with fine, short, silvery transvei-se streaks, so 

 that the dark median band can scarcely be recognized. Bolivia. 

 cybcle. C. cybelc Btlr. (60 h). Above unicolorous black-brown. Beneatli the species may be known Ijy the 



semiplena. golden brown hammer-shaped spot on the forewing. Colom))ia. — semiplena Thieme is a form witli the 

 posterior half of the cell on the forewing beneath filled up with golden brown along the median. Peru. — • 

 fitsciplaga. fusciplaga Btlr. is probably a further form of cyhele; the iniderside of the forewing bears a very small light 

 brown spot in place of the golden brown liammer-shaped spot. According to Butler the upper surface is similar 

 to that of sareha. Peru. 

 medcba. C. medeba Hew. (60 a) has shorter tails and in the cj a luiicolorous brown upper surface. 



On the under surface recognizable by the red-yellow longitudinal stripe in the cell of the forewing and some 

 red-yellow spots behind it in the disc. The J has on the upjjerside a row of small, obscure reddish spots 

 coluiiibina. on the forewing and also some similar spots in the disc of the liindwing. From Colombia to Bolivia. • — colunibina 

 Stgr. (60 b) is a medeba form in which there is only a small spot in place of the red-yellow longitudinal 

 strijie on the under surface. Occurs not only in Colombia but also in Bolivia among the type-form. 

 sareha. C. sareba Hew. (= melusina Stgr. i. I.) (60 b) may be known by tiie brownish yellow basal half of 



the forewing beneath. Upper surface dark brown, the forewing with an indistinct submarginal row of some- 

 what lighter spots. Bolivia. 

 chirune. C. chifonc Heu'. ($ = laminata Btlr.) (,^ 60 a under surface, on the plate erroneously called ulema, 



9 59 d upper surface). The cJ is unicolorous brown above. Beneath differing from nlema in havhig in the poste- 

 rior half of the forewing only 2 light yellow spots, not 3 as in ulema, and in the light band on the huidwing 

 between the base and the middle only reaching the median, whilst in ulema it extends nearly to the base of the 

 tail. The $ (laminata Btlr.) has on the upperside of the forewing a submarginal row of yellow-brown spots, 

 which m the anterior part of the hindwing arc united into a broader half-band. Beneath the markings 

 are similar to those of the cj, which we figure, but at the inner angle of the forewing there are 3 larger, ochre- 

 yellow spots in place of the 2 in the (^. The hindwing is marbled with lighter in tiie basal and median 

 areas and instead of the ochre-yellow stripe in the middle of the silver-white band there is here a brown 

 and white marbled stripe. Both sexes of this species, which is at present in but few collections, were found 

 by F.ASSL in July on Monte Socorro (Colombia) at an altitude of 3500 m. 

 ulema. C. ulema Heiv. (59 d under surface, erroneously called chirone (^ on the plate). According to Hew- 



IT.SON the upper surface is unicolorous brown, the example figured here is likewise brown, but has a red-brown 

 gloss throughout, with no trace of a liand. The examples with distinct light submarginal band, mentioned by 

 Thieme, are thus transitional to the form tripunctata. Beneath similar to chirone, the differences have been 

 given above under the latter. The $ has on the upperside a submarginal row of I'ed-brown spots on the fore- 

 wing, a narrow, continuous red-brown band on the liindwing. On the luider surface 4 red-yellow spots are placed 

 in the posterior part of the forewing, on the hindwing the first band is anteriorly white, posteriorly sprinkled 

 with brown scales, hence indistinct, the outer band is light ochre-yellow, basally margined with white, 

 trijMnclala. and contains 3 fine black dots. From Bolivia and Peru (Huancabamba, Limbani). — tripunctata Weym.
