44G PHYCIODES. By J. Robkr. 



brown one on the inside is increased by another one separated from the former by a white hne, and the 

 encina. apex is adorned by large spots of niother-of-pearl. Ecuador and Colombia. — encinaiV*//-., likewise from Ecua- 

 dor and Peru (Chanchamayo) is somewhat larger and darker above, with pale yellow markings. On the fore- 

 wings the middle submarginal sjiot produced distally in the shape of a comb. Underneath the colouring is 

 more brillant. the apex of the forewings, as well as the light coloured portions of the hindwings bright 

 intermedia, silvery white. — intermedia form. nov. (92 g erroneously marked poUna), from Bolivia, is intermediate bet- 

 ween the two preceding forms, both in colouring and size. On the under surface the apex of the forewings less 

 brightly silvered than in encina, the hindwings with large, pale yellow, indistinctly defined spots on silvery 

 white ground. 



clio. Ph. olio L. (92 h) is found from Central America to Colombia, Ecuador and Peni. 5 with broader, 



more rounded wings than ,^. 



laias. Ph. laias Godm. (90 g), from West Colombia (Rio Aguaca Valley, 0000 ft.) (1 ^^ in Fassl's collection) 



Upper surface blackish-brown, with yellowish brown markings. Underneath it resembles perna (92 g), but the 

 hindwings with 4 black stripes and 2 silvery white semi-bands. 



perna. Ph. penia Heir. (92 g), from Rio de Janeiro, has in both sexes, especially the ^J, the wings very long and 



alma, narrow. — alma Slgr. is distinguished by larger spots. Sa. Catharina. 



sestia. Ph. sestia Heiv. (90 g, h) from Ecuador. $ varie.s very much, from pale straw-yellow (type) to yello- 



wish-brown = saturata Roeb. (90 h). 



nauplia. Ph. nauplia L. (92 h). from Surinam, is smaller than chira Bate.s (92 li), of Central America and Venezuela 



plagiata. which has, moreover, the white spots and bands larger. Bates treated clara as a separate species. — plagiata 



form, nov., from southern Peru (upper Madre de Dios, 1500 — 3000 ft., A. H. Fassl), has the white markings 



broader, and lacks the posterior black band in the subapical spot on the forewings. Underneath marked as above, 



but the dark portions are heavier and deeper black. 



eraniles. Ph. eranites Heir. (92 c, d erroneously spelled evanides), from Chiric^ui and Colombia. ,^ differs from $ 



(pi. 92 c) in having the markings of the under surface reduced, especially the white lunules at the termen of the 

 mejicana. hindwings only just indicated. The $ varies much in colouring as well as in the markings. — mejicana 

 siibsp. nov., from Mexico (Presidio) is less black above, underneath more yellow. 



hellii. Ph. bella Kij. (= mylitta Heir.) (SS i), from Ecuador has a close resemblance to Eueides aliphern 



(80 a), being, however, -"Omewliat smaller, with black inner margin of the forewings and on the hindwings, be- 

 sides the black border, a similar subterminal band, with the intervening space corresponding to the ground- 

 colour. 



casipliia. Ph. casiphia Heir., from Ecuador, is larger than belln. otherwise resembling it clo:ely. but with a small 



white apical spot. Forewings black, with a red-brown band at the inner margin, a similar median and a so- 

 mewhat lighter subapical band, the two latter dissected by the veins. Under siirface rather paler, with a 

 submarginal row of white spots on both wings. 



carme. ph, carme Dbl. (I. Hen: (92 d), from Venezuela (San Esteban) differs from oblita Sfgr. (92 d) in the brigh- 



ter colouring and sharper markings. Under surface nearly sulphur-yellow, nuirked as the upper surface, but 

 with a row of yellow spots at the outer margin of the hindwings, and the middle one of the yellow terminal 

 spots on the forewings reaching the termen. 



aveyrona. Ph. aveyrona Bides (92 d as aveyrana), from Surinam, Venezuela and the Amazon, has straw-yellow 



underside marked as above. 



emerantia. Ph. emerantla Heir. (92 d), from Colombia, bears a general superficial resemblance to certain Eueides. 



ITnderneath the white apical markings broader, and the hindwings are adorned with a series of large yellow 

 teiniinal spots. $ not known. 



The species now follow resemble Eueides. 



eunice. Ph. eutiice Hb. (92 a), from southern Brazil (Sao Paolo, Rio de Janeiro), greatly resembles Eueides 



esora. isnbella, but is smaller. Underside like the upper surface. — esora Heir, is said to differ from eunice in having 

 the black median band on the under surface replaced by a row of black spots. In consideration of the variable 

 nature of eunice, we cannot accept this slight difference as sufficient to base a new form upon. — pella Heiv., 

 from the Amazon, cannot, howevei', be taken as synonymous with eunice, as Kirby proposed. Forewings A\ith 

 a large yellow apical spot and with the yellow median band tapering anteriorly, on the hindwings the black me- 

 dian band broken up into spots, and the black border is diviied by a nearly I mm wide band of ferruginous. 



pclonia. Ph. pelonia //e«'. ($=ithomiola Snlv.) (92 b), from Ecuador and Peru, differs from eunice in the absence
