438 PHYCIODES. By J. Rober. 



grey ynderneath. — Only known to me from the original description. According to Bttler a local form of 

 felofs. 



fasciata. Ph. fasciata Hpfjr. (= pearcei Druce) (89 f), from Pern, is distinguished by the broad yellow band on 



the upper surface of the hindwings. The forewings are yellowish brown, with a rich network of black lines. 



Hindwings with blackish-fuscous base and termen, the latter enclosing 2 yellow lines. Underside yellow, 



fasciatella. with faint yellowish markings. — fasciatella subsp. nov. from Huancabamba (1500 m) has the median band 



narrower and on the hind\\'ings only one yellow terminal line. 



iheuna. Ph. thcona Men. (89 g), from the southern States of North America, Mexico, Honduras and Nicaragua 



perMa. resembles above Melitaea,, but differs underneath in the regular, sharply defined bands. — perlula Fldr. 



(= hondana Weyvi.) (89 g). from Venezuela has the markings quite indistinct above, and underneath the brown 



subbasal band of the hindwings reduced to a large spot. The forewings lack underneath the black median 



yorita. marks. — yorita Beak. (89 g), from Honduras, is intermediate between theona and perlula. — ezra Hew. (89 g) 



«^''«- has the pale, often quite white spots on the upper surface of the forewings produced and the reddish brown 



bands on the underside less brillant. Chiriqui (Panama). 



cyneas. Ph. cyneas Godm. a. Salv. (89 g. h), from Arizona. Ground-colour above yellowish-brown to blackish- 



grey, with 2 rows of light spots greatly varying in size. $ of a lovely fulvous tint, with the outer band of 

 pale spots bordered with black on the outside. Under surface of forewings fulvous, with pale, black-margined 

 spots; hindwings whitish-yelIo\\". the black nervules, the deep black termen and double black median band 

 forming a sharp contrast. 



cynisca. Ph. cynisca Godm. a. Salv. (88 h). from Mexico, is closely allied to ci/nea.s. Upper surface without any 



ferruginous spots on the hindwings, the yellow band enclosing the ajjex of the cell much broader, forewings 

 with rufous spots at base and along termen underneath. 



iaeniata. Ph. taetiiata spec. nov. (89 h) from Tarapoto resembles on the upper surface of the forewings Ursula, 



differuig, however, in the heavy markings of the hindwings above. Underside yellowish, feebly marked with 

 pale fuscous, from which on the forewings the blackish-brown double band, in the middle confluent, placed 

 near the termen, stands forth very clearly. 



tdetusa. Ph. teletusa TTor//. (89 h), from Brazil, has brownish-yellow markings on blackish-brown ground, namely 



a large spot in the outer half of the forewings reaching the inner margin, a subapical band divided by a dark streak, 

 a minute spot at the apex of the middle cell and a few small apical clots on the forewings, on the hindwings 

 a median band, tapering towards the inner margin, and a submarginal band composed of fine lunules. The 

 colour of the under surface is yellowish, with brownish, resp. greyish-black markings, strongly contrasting with 

 peruana, a submarginal row of ocelli appearing on the hindwings. — peruana subsp. nov. (89 h), from Peru, has the 

 brownish-yellow markings of the upper surface greatly enlarged, the underside, however, much more monoto- 

 holiviatia. nous. — In boliviana subsp. nov., from Bolivia, the pale markings are, especially on the hindwings, greatly 

 reduced, and the under surface is more heavily marked than in peruana. 



burchelli. Ph. burchelli Moulton has a very wide range, since it is found, according to its author, in the pro- 



vince of Goyaz, in (Jhapala, South Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and in Nauta on the Upper Amazon. From the very 

 lengthy description it appears to resemble teletusa; the broad yellow median band on the forewings has about 

 the same shape, the forewing has at the termen between submedian and third median 3 yellow spots, and the 

 yellow band displays on its outer extremity some lunules of the ground-colour, both on the fore and hindwings. 



poliis. Ph. poltis Godm. a. Salv. (88 i), from Mexico, comes closest to orthia, from Brazil and Paraguay. 



orthia. Ph. orthia Heu\ (89 h) resembles velica, but has the forewmgs more elongate and all the light markings 



of the upperside much narrower. Also beneath it is like velica; possibly both belong to one and tlie same spe- 



evanescens. cies. Some specimens have the pale markings almost white, with all detail obliterated; = ab. evanescens n. 



berenice. Ph. berenice Fldr. (89 i), from Peru, advertised by Staudinger under the name of tehmachus i. 1., 



greatly resembles orthia, but differing in the presence on the hindwing of a yellow submarginal line, very 

 distinct e.specially in $, in addition to the submarginal row of lunules. Underside much naore yellowish, but 

 hardly differing from orthia in the markings. 



sejona. Ph. sejona Schaiis (89 i), from southern Brazil (f. i. St. Catharina and Rio grande do Sul), is much 



lighter coloured than orthia, from which it also deviates in the markings 



velica. Ph. velica Heiv , habitat unknown, has, judgmg from the figure supplied by the author, the brown 



spots on the upper surface much larger, being therefore nuich lighter than dictynna suhsp. ?iov. (89 k) from
