502 CALLICORE. By J. Robeb. 



euclkles. Q. euclides Lafr. (102 B e) from Colombica and Peru has broad Ijlue bands on all the wings and beneath 



strong black markings. In a certain exposure to light there is a deep-blue reflection noticeable, especially 

 on the hindwings. 



gueneei. C. gueneei spec. nov. from Ecuador resembles euclides above, but the green bands showing a bright 



golden or azure reflection, according to the incidence of light, are still broader, especially the band on the 

 hindwings appearing in a certain exposure almost just as narrow as in artemis, in another exposure, however, 

 extending (with irregular proximal delimitation) far across the wing-centre. Under surface similar as in eupepla, 

 the black band of the forewings being, however, a little narrower and the white colouring at the base of the 

 wings more reduced; on the hindwings we miss the posterior black spot of the anterior ,, eight", and the red 

 costal-marginal stripe only goes, as for instance in phlogea, as far as to the second black line and, at its end, is 

 neither extended to a spot. The ground-colouring of the under sm-face of the hindwings is somewhat lighter 

 than in eupepla. 



artemis. C. artemis spec. nov. (102 B f) from Colombia has only very faint blue reflection, narrow blue band of 



the hindwings, and beneath very fine black markings. 



meii^cKfi. C. metiscus DM. and Heio. (102 B f) from Venezuela has very broad, golden bluish-green bands on all 



the wings, but only little blue reflection on the proximal part of the band of the hindwings. The under surface 

 of the hindwings has fine black markings, and the forewings have only a red spot at the end of the disco- 

 cellular. 



eupepla. C. eupepla Salv. and Godm. (102 B f ) from Central America may be looked ujjon as the most beautiful 



species of the genus. In certain exposure spots of golden gloss appear in the greenish-blue bands on fore- 

 and hindwings. 



helesis. C. belesis Godm. and Salv. (102 B f ) from Central America not lying before us seems to have no blue 



reflection. The under surface of the forewings has much more red colouring and the hindwings are much stronger 

 marked in black than in eupepla. 

 (jabaza. Q, gabaza Heiv. (102 B f ) from Colombia has a beautiful violet reflection on the whole upper surface 



and only a minute light apical spot of the forewings. The $ has no blue reflection. 



astala. Q^ astala Guer. (= cornelia H.-Schdff.) (102 B g) from Mexico to Colombia differs from gabaza above 



only by a white apical spot of the forewing and beneath by the outer black submarginal line being accom- 

 panied by a red line. 



candrena. c. candrena Godf. (102Bg) from South Brazil and Argentina is isolated in this genus, since it has 



no blue band on the upper surface of the forewings and an extraordinarily strong marking of the under surface 

 of the hindwings. 



hraiiirki. C. bratlicki Oberth. (102 Bg), described by the author as Gatagramvia, is undoubtedly an aberration 



of a Callicore, presumably of clymena, for we also have lying before us a specimen of clyrnena being quite 

 similarly marked. Mr. A. H. Fassl has also taken aberrations of Callicore with quite similar markings. 



eeryx. c. ccryx Htiv. from Cuenca (Ecuador) is undoubtedly no species of its own, but an aberration, possibly 



of euclides. 



The following forms are not lying before us. but have been compared with C. clymena (102 B c) by their autlior. 

 Some C'o?ncor(;-speeies are very much inclined to variation. It seems as if the author has taken several such aberrative 

 forms to be species of their own. 



A. Wings above black, without blue reflection. 



elinda. c. elinda Guen. Shape and general exterior like clymena (102 B c). Green band of the forewings broader 



and more lustrous, that of the under surface with much less spacious markings; the ,, eight" very isolated, paral- 

 lel, with fine dots. Margin very narrow red; by its rhombic part the third line approaches the costal, the 

 fourth starting in red to the fifth. The red disk of the forewings cut straight through in its first half, later on 

 suddenly geniculate instead of rounded as in clyynena. First white apical band at first broad, later on from 

 the second suddenly narrowed. Habitat unknown. 



aurdia. Q. aurelia Guen. Shape of candrena (102 Bg). All the wings triangular and prolonged at the apex 



and the anal angle, with interrupted edging of fringes. The green band of the forewings short, its 2 upper spots 

 fragmentary and small, the first not reaching the subcostal vein, the second almost punctiform. The green 

 subapical streak divided into two unec^ual ones. Under surface of wings with jet-black, very broad and distinctly 

 visible markings, the hindwings yellowish-grey. The two ,, eights" touch the third line; the anterior one with 

 a single dot, while its inner part is narrowed to some kind of a stalk. Costal margin broad red forming now 

 the beginning of the fourth line. Red disk of the forewings dark and very broad, the black band remaining very 

 narrow. The small white apical stripes still narrower and more distinct than in clymena. \^'ith respect to the 

 distinctness of the markings reminding of Catagramma hydaspes (101 B d). Habitat unknown.
