592 ANAEA. By -I. Rober. 



black upper surface and broader greenish markings, being more coiierent on the forewings. The $ of pasibula, 

 one of the most remarkable discoveries of Mr. A. H. Fassl, differs entirely frcHii the ^ in the marking of the 

 upper surface, resembling much rather the (^ of jalmta in a conspicuous way. On the under surface it is con- 

 siderably lighter than the o, reddish grey with the same markings as the ,^. — The ^,S are very common at 

 their habitat, the $$, however, just as rare. — The egg is, according to Fa.ssl, but slightly larger than the 

 egg of Papilio machnon, globular, greenish yellow and glossy. 



fiilrri/ii. A. falcata Hpffr. (120 Dc) from Peru (t'hanchamayo) and recently also found in Ecuador, is the sole 



species of Aituea with a blue median band of the rJo. Most of the specimens have on the under surface of the 

 hindwings a short straight band not like the figured specimen in which there is a distal continuation of this 

 band. — The species, is very rare. 



xfiiorratcs. A. xenocratcs Westic. (120 Dd) from Peru is a very rare species. The marking of the upper surface 



varies from green ti) bluish-grey and has a metallic lustre. The $ seems not yet to be known. According to 

 Staudinger, the spots of the forewings are sometimes (H)nfluent and the metallic lustre may also be seen 

 at the distal margin of the forewings. 



p]}ii'i. A. elina Stgr. (120 D d) frona the Rio Dagua (West Colombia) is a very rare species of which but few 



specimens are known so far. — ■ A specimen captured by Mr. A. H. Fassl in Muzo (400 to 800 m) is probably 

 iiiiniiiiiri. to be included in miranda ll'r«T. (120 Dd). This specimen has a very short small tooth — hardly noticeable \\ith 

 the naked eye — of the liindwings; the orange-yellow band of the forewings is distally I'ounded regularly, proxi- 

 mally and posteriorly rectilinear and anteriorly conspicuously narrower than posteriorly; the blue spot of the 

 hindwings begins already before the posterior radial and reaches almost as far as to the submedian, being also 

 broader and, therefore, much larger than in eli?i.a. The under surface is in the interior part of the wings much 

 more scaled in black, in the median area of the forewings more j'ellow with some black scale-spots, and at 

 the distal margin of the liindwings broad band-shaped dark greenish-grey with some black marginal 

 sjjots of which the one at the small marginal tooth stands in a reddish halo. 



riHiiri. A. anna Stgr. (120 Cd) is nearly allied to the preceding species, as is shown by the figures. It comes 



from the Uppei' Amazon and is known only in few specimens. The orange-yellow spot of the forewing of elinn 

 is in anna scarlet and the hindwing does not exhibit a circumscribed lustrous spot, but is covered in the disk 

 with a duller blue reflection. 



paiiarisie. A. panaristc Hew. (? = bertha Druce) (120 Dd) from Colombia (Muzo, 400 to 800 m, A. H. Fassl) 



forms, together with the following 3 species, a special group owing to the shape of the wings and the more 

 liiiJiiiilhi. tender .structure of the bodj'. — ludmilla Fassl (103 f) from the Upper Rio Negro (800 m) forms a local form 

 distinguished in the male sex by a broad rust-brown cover of the inner margin and of the neighbouring parts 

 of the hindwings. The differences of the 9 are to be seen from the figure. — The species is rare, particu- 

 larly the $9 belong to the greatest rarities.

Whether A. jansoni Snlv. (110 A d) from Nicaragua and from the Volcano Chiriqui has to be regarded 

 as a proper species or as a subspecies of panariste, we cannot decide. The under surface is in both sexes some- 

 what darker than in panariste. but it does not exhibit a different marking. The ^ shows the whole inner-marginal 

 area of the hindwings light yellow, like in the ,^ of panariste. 



A. excellens Bates (110 A tl) from Guatemala is an extremely rare species. It resembles the following 

 species electra, but it is pale brownish-yellow, on the veins striated in black. The apex of the forewing is 

 slightly prolonged and the tail of the hindwing broad, but scarcely spatulate. 



rlrctra. A. clectra Weslw. (103 f) is distributed from Mexico to the Volcano of Chiriqui (2000 m). The ^ is 



somewhat smaller, has more prolonged apices of the forewings and a darker distal margin, the under surface 

 being chxrker than in the 9- Rare. 



rnii'idi-iiiis. A. callidryas Fldr. (II G a) from Guatemala has a dull-green up})er surface turning distally yellowish 



on the hindwings. Extremely rare; maybe because it is very difficult to distinguish the animal from among 

 the pale yellow Catopsilia flying in great numbers in its patria. 



oprilhid. A, opalina Salv. and Godm. (= clara Stgr.) (116 b) from the Volcano of Chiricpii is a rare species. 



The 9 seems not yet to be known. — Presumably callidryas and opalina form only subspecies of one and the 

 same species.
