r)SS ANAEA. By J. Rober. 



lombia is in the male sex but little marked on the upper surface. The under surface of the ^J resembles 

 entirely tluit of ates (119 e), in the $ it i^ much greyer. 

 /"'■""■ A. lorna Druce (120 A a) from Bolivia and Ecuador seems to be known only in the male sex. The 



Ecuador form figured by us has on the fore- and hindwings a somewhat broader green marking than the Boli- 

 vian specimen figured by Uruce. Characteristic is the broad light blue margin of the hindwing being sparsely 



iihii-iii'i. dusted in dark. — Of A. placida Druce (120 Be) from Bolivia we reproduce the original figure. The author 

 himself admits the possibility tiiat pl'icida may be not a proper species, but an (aberrative) form of lorna. If, 

 however, the figure of the under surface is correct, plncida may be also a special species, all the more since 

 the shape of the wings is neither like that of lorna. The coloristic difference consists above all in the 

 reducement of tiie light blue wing-margin and of the subapical spots on the forewing of placida. 



i/ndiilis. A. grandis Druce (120 Be), habitat unknown, has been described and figured according to a $. Accor- 



ding to the original figure we reproduce the under surface. Large, upper surface almost exactly as in pro-yrr- 

 pina, broad and obtuse wings, with a short broad spatulate tail of the hindw ing, the blue of the basal half of 

 the hindwing light and bright. The dirty sand-coloured, yellowish-brown under surface is irregularly irro- 

 rated in a sooty colour. 

 DJid. Of A. offa Druce (120 A a, b), described and figured according to a $ from Ecuador, we have furnished 



figures of both sexes according to specimens taken by Mr. A. H. Fassi, in East Colombia (Tapper Rio Negro, 

 800 m). Very much like the preceding genus, but the distal spot before the apex is double and there is mostly 

 also a diffuse spot before the middle of the border of the forewing. 

 duvin. A. cluvia Hpfjr. from Bolivia resembles very nuich cJiaeronea (120 A b, c) above, from which, however, 



it deviates greatly beneath ; the forewings have only one band running into the apex of the wings, which parts 

 the wing into two, quite differently coloured halves, the inner half being dark brown, the outer half, however, 

 whitish with brown marbling. « 



caliii/ai. A. catinka was described and figured by Druce (120 B c) according to a 9 of unknown habitat. Easily 



recognizable by the very light blue of the upper surface being brightened to white in the disk of the forewing. 

 """■'" A, morta Druce (120 A b) from Honduras has been described as follows: Upper surface brownish-black, 



the basal half of all the wings of a glossy blue, above extremely similar to offa. but without the submarginal 

 spots on the hindwings. The luider surface is very different; it is pale greenish-brown, near the base of 

 the forewing irregular with white scales, both wings in the middle from the apex to the inner margin with an 

 undulate, pale ochre-yellow band. The figured specimens originate from East Colombia (Aguaca- Valley, 2000 ni, 

 A. H. Fassl). — A. H. Fas.sl. says about the egg: I observed the $ depositing the eggs, in the midday-sun, 

 on a bush in the primeval forest with large, rough leaves (like our burdock). The egg gre_atly resembles that 

 of paaihula. but is somewhat smaller and more whitish. 



victorUt. Of A. victoria Druce (120 B c, d) from Rio de Janeiro we can only leproduce the original figures. The 



base of the forewing is of a very bright blue in the (J as far as to the middle, in the 9 beyond the middle, 

 Under surface dirty greyish-brown with very sparse, irregular irroration. Before the apex the usual .spots. 



rhaeronat. A. chacronca Fldr. (I20Ab. c) does certainly not differ specifically from indigotica Salv. (2 = zelica 



"""■'" ""• l^alv. (120 A c, 120 C b). The former occurs in Colombia, the latter in ('hiri{£ui, but from Colombia there come 

 also specimens hardly distinguishable from the Chirirpii-form. On the under s\uface itidigoticn seems to be 

 pcruviamt. somewhat more scaled in white, on the posterior part of the hindwing. — peruviana Strand from South East 

 Peru having been described only according to one $, differs from the $ of indigotica by the yellow band of the 

 forewing being separated from the costal margin only by a line of hair's breadth and reaching also to the inner 

 angle by a millimetre's breadth. The marginal band of the hindwing of the same colour is continued, though 

 curila. obsolete, as far as to the inner angle. Beneath the dark stripes are more developed. — corita Fruhst. from Brazil 

 (Espiritu Santo) is known only in the female sex. The yellow longitudinal band of the forewings is nearly as 

 broad again and lighter. The hindwings exhibit a red-yellow marginal band which does not discontinue before 

 the tails as in indigotica, but extends as far as to the submedian. — A. H. Fa.ssl says about the egg of chae- 

 ronea: ,,From a 9 captured on the 19th of April 1910 on the Upper Rio Negro at an elevation of 1200 m I got 

 a deposit of eggs. The egg, as probably in all the Anaea, is of a globular shape, wax-coloured; somewhat 

 iridescent, and of about the same size as that of Papilio niachaon." The same author reports about the pupa: 

 ,,The pupa has the typical compact shape of the other pupae of Anaea known to me and is best to be compared 

 with a pupa of Theclida, except that the abdominal rings are still more drawn in and the point of the cremaster, 

 on being seen from above, lies about in the middle of the fourth segment. The large hollow space formed beneath 

 by the bend is anteriorly connected by the wing-case. The pupa is of an ivory white with an enamel glo.ss. 

 the eyes yellowish, the leg-cases behind each other with two pair of dark dots. The ribs stand out as if watery. 

 In the forewing there are three dark concentric curved lines visible of half a mm breadth each, which do n o t 

 correspond to the future marking of the butterfly. The dorsal line seems to be coloured just as watery as the 

 veins of the wings; the first 4 segments, however, exhibit besides three pair of greyish-brown .streaks of about 

 half a mm breadth being posteriorly divergent. The pupa is 17 mm long and at the greatest breadth (above 

 the third abdominal ring) 10 mm in diameter. I found it on the 13th of July 1911 with its head down
