iKH-thonimnst race. The yellcjwisli-brovvii pai't of both the wings more extensive than in the nonienchituial 

 type. — massilides .sub-sp. nov. beats ni'i.ssili'i in size. The preapieal spot of tlie forewings more imposing iiias.'iilidta. 

 and distally more irregular. Tiie \\hite zone of both the wings more e.xtensive. Under surface lightei- 

 whitish-grey, tlie brown longitudinal bands darker and more prominent, \^'estern Mexico. — iphicleola ii>lii<l">l<i- 

 BiUes (107d) inhabits the whole of Central America. Nomencjatural type from Guatemala. The tnim is 

 common everywhere and is reported to occur in Guatemala in altitudes higher than 4(»()(» feet. — gortyna wriun"- 

 subsp. nov. has a smaller dark preapieal spot of the forewings and narro\\er white median bands. Colonibia. 

 very common in the Gauca \'alley. On the volcano Chiriqui a form smaller in the habitus is found which. 

 however, agrees with gortyna in the .scheme of markings. — funalis subsj). nov. is known to me only from the /"hkHs. 

 Rio Dagua in Colombia, and like all the races of this river-basin very muc'h darkened, so that the \\liite 

 median band of both the wings is reduced to half its normal width. Type in the Tring-Museum. — phera I'lia-ii. 

 .sxhsp. nov. somewhat resembles the Venezuelan A. iphiclu e.riniinid l>y the extremely pure-white and very 

 broad median zone of both the wings. The under surface approximates likewise the ^'enezuelan race by 

 ]-elatively small transcellular spots. Habitat of the beautiful form is unknown. — exaniina subsp. nov. is found cniiihiKi. 

 in \'enezuela. The yellow sul)apical spot of the forewings smaller than in gortyna and phera, the white 

 area more extensive than in gortyna, of a purer white. Under surface darker than in iphicleola from Hon- 

 duras, but there exist also specimens of a dry period with preiJonderantly whitish hue and jDrominent white 

 submarginal stripes. — iphicia L. (107 a) having originally come from Surinam, is also common in Cayenne iiiliUln. 

 and on the Lower Amazon. The yellow endiedment of the forewings is, in the $, unciformly prolonged at the 

 anterior median of the forewings. — iphimedia .subsp. nov. has an almost just as broad white median band iiilihuiiiid. 

 of both the wings as .silia (107 c) and a strangely stunted reddish-yellow spot of the fore\\ings. Gulja. — dace- (Uurlc'ia. 

 leia subsp. nov. A pygmean form, smaller than .4. gerona (107 e); the subapical spot of the forewings. however, 

 paler and larger than in iphimedia. This excellent race, conspicuous already by its small size, inhabits the Isle 

 of Trinidad. — pharae subsp. nov. is met in Mato Grosso, Peru and Bolivia. It is most closely allied to I'htmir. 

 iphicia from which it differs by an expanded median band and a more imposing apical spot. — indefecta subsji. niil,-i,<iii. 

 nov. (107 c) excels pharae, in the size of the reddish-yellow embedment of the forewings, forming, however, 

 a transition to the Brazilian territorial forms by the strangulated white band of the forewings. The under 

 surface is distinguished by the prolonged subapical strigae and the j)ale yellowish-red longitudinal bands. 

 Paraguay, type in the Tring Museum. — leucates ■'iubsp. nov. is set up according to a specimen of the laimiis. 

 FELDER-collection of the Tring Museum. leucates in many respects reminds us of iphimedia from Cuba and 

 presents itself as a genuine product of a hot and dry zone. It differs from the most nearly allied ephe-m Men. 

 by a broader white median zone of both the wings, the lighter and paler oehreous and also more imposing 

 subapical spot and the paler under surface. Bahia. Similar specimens from Pernambuco in the collection of 

 Staudinger. — ephesa Men. inhabits Central Brazil. The nomenclatural type might originate from Rio de ';'/"-^"- 

 Janeiro, where its author has been collecting personally. The apical spot of the forewings more roundish than 

 in iphicia. the white zone narrower. Not rare in Espiritu Santo and near the capital of Rio de Janeiro. — 

 gellia .subsp. nov.. finally, resembles the Paraguay-race on the forewings, but the white area of the hindwings ;/'//'"• 

 is again narrowed. Under surface darker than in indefecta and ephesa, the reddish-brown longitudinal bands 

 more jirominent. Sa. Catharina, to the north as far as Sao Paulo. 



A. thessalia is found as a vicarious type, smaller in the habitus, beside A. iphicia to which it is nearly 

 allied by the upper and under surface. The shape of the wings is somewhat more pointed, the reddish-yellow 

 ajjical spot more compact and more roundish. The white median band of the forewings tapering anteriorly', 

 llindwing more slender, more sharply dentate, the reddish anal spot obsolete, the sexual organs greatly dif- 

 ferentiated: uiu'us much narrower, more slender, strangulated towards the base, valve ventrally without the 

 convex medial projection, nearly uniformly cylindrical, more slender and pointed. Clunicula basally narrowed, 

 rising in almost uniform width. Two areal forms: thessalia Fldr.. the typical form from the Rio Negro. \'ery tlKxsiiliii. 

 common in Peru and Ecuador up to an altitude of about 1200 m. Rare in Colombia. Beneath recognizable 

 and differing from A. iphicia by shorter transcellular strigae. In Bolivian specimens \\e notice the influence 

 of the seasons. For instance, J,^ from Coroico belonging, according to the dark-brow n striped under surface, 

 to a rainy period, show a prolongation of the reddish-yellow preapieal area on the upper surface of the fore- 

 wings; time of their flight November and December; whereas specimens from August, by their preponderantly 

 light grey bands on the faded under surface create the impression of being the product of a dry zone. — In 

 cesilas subsp. nov. the character of the dry season form is increased. The preapieal spot is narrowed and <isU<i>'. 

 begins to dissolve at the margins. The white zone of both the wings is nearly as broad again as in specimens 

 from Peru. Under surface of both the wings predominantly whitish, the reddish-brown strijjes. especiall\- in 

 the basal zone, as thin as a thiead. From Pilcomaj'o to the Rio Grande, eoUecitetl by Steixbach in December. 



A. calliphiclea Btlr. was founded on Cramer's figures J and D, table 376 of his Pap. Exot. IV. The niiiipiiiriKi. 

 foi'm, })rovided its not having been misdrawn or coloured wrongly, is vt'niarkable for 3 small white trans- 

 verse bands of the cell of the forewings and a purely white submai-ginal band of the under surface of 

 both the wings. Above it resembles ,1. ubia Hew. by a three-cornered subapical spot. Surinam. Similar sj)e- 

 cimens from Bolivia are. according 1o BrTi.KR, i-ei)orted to })e in (he British Musenin.
