CALLIC'ORE. By J. Rober. 501 



45. Genus : C'allicoro Hhn. 



The species of this genus are distributed from Mexico to Argentina, one species has also been occasionally 

 observed in the south of North America; their chief habitat is in the mountains. They have most characteristic 

 featiu'es: velvety black upper surface with golden-green bands and very light, mostly white under surface of the 

 hindwings with peculiar ch-cular markings, owing to which the little animals have been denominated ,,88". 

 All the subcostal veins arise only after the end of the discocellular, the eyes are densely haired and the forelegs 

 are very slender, not broadened in the i^,^. 



According to W. Mtjller the shape and depositing of the egg is in 6'. meridionalis the same as in Mys- 

 celia orsis. The larva lives on Trema micrantha Dell. The two lateral, little diverging horns on the head of the 

 fully grown-up larva are very long and slender and have short strong accessory spines each of them forming 4 

 rosettes; the other spines are like in Myscelia orsis; the body is anteriorly slightly, posteriorly more reduced 

 in width; the head is green, the horns are brownish-grey with lighter bands, the back of the horns and the spines 

 turned backwards are preponderantly greenish, the little warts are white, the yellow subdorsal stripe dis- 

 appears shortly before turning into a pupa. Pupa similar to that of Myscelia orsis, above velvety-green, 

 beneath pale green, a white and brown stripe running along the wing-margin being continued behind, beneath 

 the stigmata; in the place of the lateral sjaines there are distinct white dots, smaller ones being less distmct 

 in the place of the little verrucae. Influenced by the light, it performs movements like Myscelia orsis (cf . p. 482). 



The name Callicore is to be used for the genus Catagramma if we interpret strictly the rules of priority; 

 we, therefore, propose the synonymous name Corecalla for the present genus. 



C. clymena Cr. (102 Be) occurs in South America (to the south as far as Paraguay), but also in the chjtucna.

 Guatemala is much smaller; wings less rounded. — We figm-e (102 B c) a remarkable aberration with respect to 

 the under surface, having been taken by IVIi-. A. H. Fassl. — Belongs to the more common species.

C. meridionalis Bates (102 B c) from South Brazil has only in the $ marks of the blue band of the nicridionn- 

 hiiidwings. The black markings of the under surface are stronger and the distal bordering of the black sub- ' 



apical band of the forewings is distally projecting in the shape of a tooth.

C. marchalii Guer. (102 B d) from Colombia and Venezuela differs from all the species by the dark marchal
