330 NAROPE. By H. Fruhstorfer. 



band, behind the middle distally bordered with wliitish, and beyond tiie cell an undulate row of small black 

 spots, of wliich the two nearest to the hinder angle are dotted with white. Ecuador. 



cyllabarus. N. cyllabarus Westw. Apex of the forewing rather pointed, distal margin slightly convex. Upper sur- 



face rust-brown or fox-red, towards the distal margin somewhat darkened; the latter itself pale brown, the 

 dark tone thus forming a vague band. Before the anterior median vein near the distal margin a black, white- 

 pupilled .spot. Under surface ochre-yellow, spotted and marbled with brown, but not sharply. From the costal 

 2 diffuse transverse bands across the cell ; from the whitish apex an obhcpie, diffuse nebulous band runs towards 

 the middle of the inner margin. A black dot in the distal part of the cell and another between the radials before 

 the distal margin. Hindwing likewise rust-brown with distinctly defined dark submarginal band. Under 

 surface pale brown, costa striated, in the middle of the costal area a dark, white-pupilled spot ; the rest of the 

 wing indistinctly .spotted and marbled with darker; across the middle of the wing a diffuse dark oblique band. 

 Scent-spot as in the preceding species. Cayenne. Colombia, Amazons, Bolivia. 



panniculus. N. paililiculus Stich. ,:^ : head, palpus, antenna, body and upper surface of the wings smoke-brown, 



in specimens from Bolivia darker, nearly blackish. Forewing right-angled-triangular, costal margin curved, 

 apex sharp, almost rectangular, distal margin fairly straight, hinder angle rounded-rectangular, hindmargin 

 straight, about in the middle somewhat folded. In the posterior part of the median area a large, rounded, 

 velvety spot of dai'ker colour ; this is placed proximally to the cell, its anterior extremit}' nearly touches the upper 

 median vein, distally it remains about 5 mm. from the margin of the wing and posteriorly it extends beyond 

 the submedian but with its boundary not sharply defined. Under surface lighter, irregularly spotted. Base 

 darker shaded, then 2 abbreviated nebulous bands across the cell, in the ai^ical area a small wliite spot; scent- 

 organ as in the preceding. Hindwing above unicolorous with light oval scent-spot. Under surface lighter, 

 slightly sprinkled with brownish, with indistinct^ defined nebulous band beyond the cell; beyond the middle 

 of the costa a small white dot. Paraguay, Bolivia (Rio Yuntas). 1 <^ from Matto Grosso in coll. Fruhstorfer 

 is smaller than Paraguay i^(^, paler grey-brown, beneath light earth-coloured, hindwing with large liver-like 

 intramedian ocellus, broadly filled in with wliite. 



Hindwing of the <J above without .scent-spot, but with a .sni.all liaif-i>encil arisinc; in tin' cell and partially con- 

 cealed in a i>ouch-like fold. 



albopunc- N. albopunctuiTi Stich. Head and body smoke-brown above, whitish grey-brown beneath. Wings 



turn, f^ark smoke-brown above, without markings except a small, pure wliite spot in the apical area behind the fifth 

 subcostal vein, near the distal margin. Under surface marbled and shaded with lighter and darker brown. 

 Costal margin dark, with short whitish striation. Starting from it two dark, irregularly defined transverse 

 bands, one across the cell, terminating at the median; at the margin near the base a thin, anteriorly directed 

 hair -tuft without scent -scale spot. Hindwing about triangular, Avith convex margins. Costal margin 

 somewhat less convex, apex rounded, distal margin curved, slightly undulate, at the anterior median vein 

 obtusely angled. Hinder angle obtuse. Upper surface without markings, hindniarginal area more thinly scaled, 

 pale grey-brown, in the cell and along the submedian long brown hairs. On the wall of the cell, before the ori- 

 gin of the posterior median vein, a small hair-pencil, extending beyond the median, and partially concealed 

 in a pouch-like fold on the lower median. Under surface brownish, strongly watered and dotted with whitish, 

 particularly in the proximal half, which is sharply bounded by a narrow brown stripe running obliquely from 

 the distal part of the costal margin to the distal quarter of the liindmargin. In the distal part of the wing 

 an undulated row of black-brown, lighter-bordered dots, about halfway between the end of the cell and the 

 margin of the wings; the first dot sometimes with white centre. Then follows a vague chain of dark spots 

 similarly arranged and afterwards copious whitish marbling, the distal margin narrowly brown. Length 

 of the forewing 28 mm. Peru (Marcapata). 



Addenda. 



fruhstorferi. P. 293. OpsipJianes fruhstorferi Rob. (63 a) should be inserted before .sulcius. Black-brown above, 



the forewing with white oblique band, broken in its posterior part, arising in the middle of the costa and ter- 

 minating in a narrow point before the distal margin at the posterior mechan vein. In the apex of the fore- 

 wing 3 small wliite spots, liindwing with lighter, irregular, broad submarginal line. Under surface brownish 

 grey, uniformly striated, with 2 larger, and between them 2 smaller ocelli. 9 similar, larger, the apical 

 spots of the forewing and the submarginal line of the hindwing more distinct. South Brazil: Sta. Catharina, 

 Lages. Very local ; I found it only at the sources of the Uruguay, where the water-courses traverse those wooded 

 places Avhich occupy the valleys of the Campos. The butterflies fly near the ground and regularly frequent 

 the sap exuding from small trees, at which they feed for hours. Time of fhght the end of December to February 

 and March.
