CHLORIPPE. By J. Rober. 547 



Ch. kallina 8tgr. (lIOBd) from Brazil (Rio cle Janeiro, Santa Catharina and Rio Grande do Siil) kiilliiin. 

 greatly resembles agathina above, but beneath, especially on tlic hindwings, it is very different. The $ juis 

 instead of a band only an oblique row of white dots on the forewings. The larva fully resembles that of sellnn. 

 The pupa has a much less projecting dorsal ridge which, in the middle of the 6th segment, rises to a little 

 prominent obtuse point, slanting from here anteriorly in a straight line, posteriorly in a convex line; the 

 horns are short and obtuse, all the edges with a white margin. — bertila Fmhst. from Paraguay, founded upon ht-rtilu. 

 a $, has been described thus: larger, ground-colour dark greyish-brown, the proximal white spots of the 

 forewings more pregnant, as well as the black submarginal band of the hindwings. Under surface: on the 

 forewings the black subapical region is reduced, so that only rudiments are yet left beyond the cell, a peculia- 

 rity being already met with specimens from Rio Grande. Hindwing with a distinct row of submarginal white 

 crescents which are missing altogether in agathina and kallina. 



Ch. felderi G. and 8. (110 B d) from Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia and Peru, has another shape of the ft-uicri. 

 hindwings, and differs somewhat beneath. The $ has been discovered by Mr. A. H. Fassl in Bolivia (Rio Songo). 

 It resembles the $ of zunilda heckeri, but it has on the upper surface of the forewing a much broader and diffe- 

 rently i^laced band; beneath it is of much stronger colours and more pronounced markings. — $ mathani Obciih. dkiIIkiiiL 

 has a blue oblique band of the forewings. — In floris Fnihst. from Peru (Pozzuzo) the ,^ is above darker blue jhn-is. 

 but with purer white spots than felderi. Under surface: distal region of all the wings dark violet instead 

 of brownish-yellow, with a complete submarginal black band bearing smaller white spots. Ocelli of the hind- 

 wings smaller. 



Ch. zunilda Godf. (110 Bd) from South Brazil has a 9 varying so much that Hewitson has been zunilda. 

 deceived and hasdescribed it as a species of Catagramma (Perisama). The $-form beckeri Hew. lacks the hcvkcri. 

 large brown .spot on the forewings. According to von Boekninghaxjsen it is very rare near Rio de Janeiro, 

 but more common in the more southern provinces. Mi-. Scheidemantel has repeatedly bread the species from 

 larvae, near Blumenau; nevertheless we have not yet any precise knowledge of the first stages. The butter- 

 flies are extremely timid and they nearly always fly furiously about in the breeding cage. 



Ch. callianira Men. (110 B f ) from Nicaragua has a blue reflection on the whole upper surface except culUanira. 

 the apex ofthe forewing. It has a characteristic reddish-brown submarginal band of the hindwings, which 

 occurs otherwise only in such species that have also a yellow median band of the forewings. 



Ch. thautnas Bates from the interior of Guatemala (not lying before us) resembles pavon. though ihaumas. 

 it is still closer allied to elis. From pavon it differs by having instead of the orange-yellow subapical sj^ot of 

 the forewings 3 white spots near the wing-apex, and from elis by the absence of the orange-yellow sjjottcd 

 median band, and also by a more pronounced blue reflection. The under siuface of the hindwings is of an 

 ochreous grey, darkened by brown atoms; in the wing-centre there is an irregular brown strijje, a mnie sub- 

 dued and moon-like stripe is running near the distal margin. Salvin and Godman combine this form with 

 the preceding one. 



Ch. elis Fldr. (110 Be) from Ecuador and Colombia has a rather broad brownish-yellow median cti.s. 

 band of the forewings. The $ is not yet known. — farge Fruhst. from Colombia is according to the author con- lanjc 

 siderably larger, the apex of the forewing more jjrominent, all the wing-margins are more dentate. Distal part 

 of the hindwings lighter with more conspicuous ochre-yellow submarginal macular band remaining distinct 

 and complete as far as to the anal angle (the latter statement does not hold good in all cases). — fabaris Friihst. faharis. 

 from Bolivia (Cochabamba in September, La Paz in April) and Peru (Pozzuzo), has been described as follows: 

 Only somewhat larger than elis, submarginal band of the hindwings above still considerably broader and always 

 existing distinct as far as to the anal angle, whereas in elis the band is sometimes only as thin as thread and 

 disappears already at the upper median. 



Ch. druryi Hbn. ($ = laura Hbn.) (110 Be) seems to occur only in Cuba. It is easily recognized by drunji. 

 the broad, indistinctly delimited yellow band of the forewing. The light-blue reflection exists on the whole 

 hindwing and at the base of the forewing. — acca Fldr. from Mexico has a darker upper surface with a nar- a,ru. 

 rower forewing-band, but a broader hindwing-band; the hindwings are extended into a longer point. 



Ch. laure Dm. (110 Be) distributed from Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela, has a much broader laurc. 

 white band of the wings, which is continued to the inner margin of the forewings. The $ is, as the figure shows, 

 considerably different. The under surface has, in both the sexes, pronounced golden bands. — lauretta 8tgr. Uuirdlti. 

 (110 Ad) from South Brazil and Paraguay has no reflection and narrower white bands. Specimens in which 

 the yellow subapical sjaot is separated afar from the median band being of a pure white, are called hiibneri hubncrl. 

 Stgr. i. I. — • According to von Boenninghausen very rare on the Corcovado. ■ — In the Honduras-form mileta milciu. 

 Bsd. the ^ differs but slightly from lanre. The $$, however, are much larger, more- yellow, the apical spots 

 smaller, more roundish, lighter, the anterior part of the median band of the forewing is of a pure white, the 

 bands of the hindwings are nearly as broad again, the centre of all the wings is lighter with more undulated
