CALLICORE. By J. Rober. 503 



C. bourcieri Gtien. All the wings are laiolonged at the angles. The green band is anteriorly just as bourrieri. 

 broad as posteriorly and geniculate in the cellule. The under .surface of the hindwings of a rather deep grey, 

 with faded lilac. The markings are all strictly isolated. In the anterior ,, eight" the second dot is effaced. 

 The red costal margin is broad and is met by the third line below the fourth, while the fourth line proceeds 

 on it as far as the costal. The black band bordering the red of the forewings is very narrow and both the 

 small grey stripes following it are broad. The club of the antenna rather prolonged and at the base of the 

 inner side reddish-brown. Quito. 



C. seropa Guen. Closely allied to clymenn (102 B c) the shape of which it has, the wing-contour being, ■■irropa. 

 however, generally more rectangular. All the fringes sharply interrujated. Band of the forewings broader, 

 more intensely golden-coloured, distally sinuate, the band of the hindwings narrower and shorter. The markings 

 of the under surface are finer, both the ,, eights" strictly isolated and parallel. The red costal margin is very 

 narrow and remote from the ,, eight", but it expands in the right angle across the 3. and 4. line; the 3. line 

 sends ft)rth a fine black streak margining it as far as the costal vein. The red disk of the forewings forms a 

 bend at its junction with the black band, and the two small white ajaical stripes are very broad and more 

 sinuate. — Is pt)ssibly only a local form of clytncna though it has a peculiar appearance. Para. 



C. nystographa Guen. Baud of the 4 wings similar and of the same width, bright green, that of the ni/.sloijm- 

 hindwings parallel to the margin, the space between being double as broad as the band itself. Under surface 

 with very fine markings, the two ,, eights" very isolated, the anterior , .eight" pyriform with 2 dots. Costal 

 margin thin, terminating at the 3. line, the fourth reaches the apex of the wing. Black band of the fore- 

 wings very broad, confining the red disk which extends towards the base of the wing. (^uito. — According to 

 a figure by H. Rebel in Vol. 46 of the Berl. Ent. Zeitschr., the under surface of the hindwings is almost just 

 as dark as in marchalii (102 B d), but the black markings are much darker there, the under surface of the fore- 

 wings exhibiting also an about thrice as broad black band. Guenee has not mentioned anything about the 

 dark under surface of tlie hindwings. 



C. pavira Guen. Shape and wing-contour like nieli.scu.s (102 Bf). Bands bright golden-green, blue at peviru. 

 the edges, those of the forewings broad, connected with the base by a faded streak over the median vein, those 

 of the hindwings nearly just as broad, entirely discoid, posteriorly pointed, below it a streak at the anal angle. 

 All the fringes white. Under surface of the hindwings white with very fine markings; the first ,, eight" pyri- 

 forni with a single dot. Red costal margin confined uj^on a broad, very short faded streak. Disk of the 

 forewings entirely black with white apex, parted by a fine black streak not reaching the base. Base white 

 with a plain carmine cellular spot. Peru.

C. coelinula Guen. Seems to be allied with eluinu (102 B e), but the entirely white fringes, the spot cocHmda. 

 on the hindwings of which I shall speak later on, the two-dotted ,, eights" etc. together with the different ha- 

 bitat prevent me from uniting it with ,,eliiina". It has the shajae and wing-contour of clymoia with which 

 HiJBNER has mixed it ujj, from which, however, it is easily distinguished by its blue reflection. The fringes 

 are entirely white on the hindwings; the latter, moreover, have below the blue reflection, between the 1. 

 and 2. median vein, a glossy spot, more metallic than velvety blue, which is, however, only noticeable in 

 certain exposure and changes even into green. Tlie luider surface may be compared with Hewit.sox's figui'e 

 31, but the satiny-white is homogeneous, the markings are more narrowed, the , .eights" larger and closer to 

 each otlier; the upper ,,eig]it" has beside the dot a very distinct comma-lij^e streak. The 5. line is regular 

 and slightly sinuous, and follows the dents of the wings; the red margin, finally, is very thin, far remote from 

 the ,, eight" and confined by a distinct rhombic spot from which the 3. and 4. line start and which is distally 

 somcAvhat concave. The black band of the forewings is geniculate. Brazil. 



C. brevipalpis 6'«e«. (= ? eluina var. i/evr. [fig. 65] ? lidwina i^Wr.*). I cannot tell for certain whether brcripalpis. 

 the said synonyms may not be partly applied to this new species, for the insufficient exactness of figures 

 and descriptions prevents me from doing, .so; but since neither of the autliors has spoken of the principal 

 character, and the palps of this CaUkore are so strikingly short, I concluded therefrom that they can certa'inly 

 not have seen this species. At all events it has the following characteristic distinctions. The hindwings are 

 prolonged at the anal angle and have entirely white fringes; their terminal band is very broad, pale and dull 

 green, that of the forewings being oblique, bright green, distally very distinct, turning posteriorly on the ojjpo- 

 site, side into reflection. The subapical streak is very pronounced, the sky-blue reflection less bright than in 

 coelinula not covering any spot. Under surface snow-white with rather thick, very distinct and isolated black 

 markings. The anterior , .eight" forms a circle with a handle, something like a tennis bat, and has only one 

 single large dot. The red margin is very thin and its distal end, by no means widened, receives the 3. and 4. 

 line which join each other before reaching it. The jjalps do not extend beyond the forehead. Venezuela.
