440 PHYCIODES. By J. Rober. 



to the thymetus groujD, the fore.wingw being shghtly curved below the apex, the hindwings nearly angidar 

 at the middle termen". 



okmes. Ph. otaiies Heic. (88 h). from Guatemala resembles crithona both in size and shape of wings, q forewings 



dark brown above, with a small fulvous spot at the apex; hindwings faintly purplish, only the termen tinged 

 like the forewings. Underside of forewings fulvous, paler at base, with some black spots, one at costa. a trian- 

 gular one at apex, and a third one reddish-white at termen. Hindwing grey and fulvous, with a few large ful- 

 vous spots. 



cyno. P, cyno Sdlv. n. Gochti . Like otanes, but the forewings with larger discal spots above, underneath 



almost unicolorous all but the apex; hindwings more grey, with the spots as in otanes, thougli less distinct. 

 Mexico. 



sopoUs. Ph. sopolis Godm. n. Salv. (88 i), from Guatemala, is closely related to otanes. differing chiefly in the 



very pregnant spotting of the forewings. The description reads: "(^ like otanes S^ but the forewings spotted 

 with yeUcw. $ hke t^, but resembluig in the spots on the forewing ptolyca; hindwings suffused with rufous 

 above". 



aceta. Ph. aceta Heir., from Colombia, resembles a small-sized Eresin. Upper surface deep brown, the fore- 



wings indistinctly spotted with fulvous near base, and with 2 similar ? pots in middle. On both wings a band 

 of rufous ocelli centred with dark brown, followed by a row^ of similar lunules, and preceded on the forewings 

 by 2 larger spots of fulvous divided by the nervules. Underside yellowish-grey, with similar, although more 

 delpMa. faded markings as above. — delphia FIdr. (89 k). likewise from Colombia; our figure was taken from the 

 type kindly lent us by Dr. K. Jordan, delphia must be considered to be the typical form, differing from He- 

 witson's aceta by having the markings of the upper side reduced, and the ground-colour beneath paler, more 

 yellow. 



acesas. Ph. accsas Heir. (= sycb'a Real'.), from Venezuela. A rather large species, with moderately excavated 



termen of forewings. Upper surface dark brown, with larger pale spots at middle, and a submarguial row of 

 dark yellow spots on the forewings. Hindwings with 3 rows of deep yellow spots and 2 obsolete, similar streaks 

 near base. Under surface with a large spot at base, two smaller ones in middle and an orange spot at termen ; 

 apex grey with a white lunule. Hindwings grey and fulvous, with paler spots and lunules and a submarginal 

 row of bro\\'nish crescents. 



««*«• Ph. ezba //e?t'., from Colombia, is, according to the author, closely allied to acesr/.s and r/,6rts. Described 



as follows: o clark brown, forewings with a spot in the middle cell, a macular median band, a few spots near 

 the apex and an undulate submarginal band fulvous, the apical spots white. Hindwings from base to beyond 

 middle paler, with 2 terminal rows of lunules. Underside of forewings brownish-red, darker towards the termen, 

 with 1 spot in cell, a band below the median nervu re, a macular band beyond the middle, composed of a large 

 triangular spot and 3 round ones the last of which is black; the posterior part of the termen yellow; at the 

 apex 2 larger white spots; along the termen a black undulate line. Hindwings pale reddish-grey from base to 

 middle, with 2 ba ;al lunules, and beyond the middle a pale yellow band, followed by 4 black dots and a sub- 

 nuxrginal row of white lunules. 



crithona. Ph. crithona Salv. (89 k), from Chiriciui, closely resembles elaphiaea, but with the termen of the fore- 



wings more sharply dentate; the upper side of both wings marked with fulvous at base, on the hindwings the 

 3 yellowish lines farther apart. Also beneath it resembles elaphiaea, but with an unusually large yellow spot in 

 slcnoiaenia. the middle of the hindwings. — stenotaenia snbsp. nov. (89 k). From Juan Vinaw. Of this form we know a 9 

 taken in February. On the forewing the band much lighter, broader in front, although not reaching the termen, 

 but suddenly breaking off at the 3. median nervule and continuing, gradually getting thinner, almost to the 

 submedian. At the apex a few white dots. The yellow spot between 3. median and lower radial isolated, 

 at the apex of the cell 2 yellow dots, and the yellow spot at the inner angle greatly reduced. Hind- 

 wings with only one yellowish submarginal line. Underside lighter than in crithona, with the markings corres- 

 ponding to those of the upper surface. 



verena. Ph. verena HeuK (90 a), from Bolivia and Peru, resembles crithona in size and shape, also in colouring, 



but has on the forewings a yellowish-brown band, growing broader posteriorly and reaching the inner margin, 

 its continuation on the hindwings taking up about one third of the wing, in consequence of which the hind- 

 wings appear largely yellowish-brown. At the termen of the forewings, and the base of both wings yellowish- 

 brown spots, and a bla:k submarginal line before the black border of the hindwings. l^nderside of forewings 

 yellow, spotted with brown and streaked with black; hindwings with a broad, pale yellow median band, red- 

 dish-grey base streaked with brown, and brown termen, containing 2 dark undulate lines. 



levana. Ph. levaiia sp. nov. (88 h), from r!osta Rica (Orosi 3800 ft., collection of A. H. Fassl). Wings rather 



elongate. Underside of forewings yellow, with brownish base and a large spot at the apex of the cell; se-
