NYMPHALINAE. Additions. By Dr. A. Settz. 597 



H. telesiphe. Mx. Neitstettee says about it; 



,,Herc a new form lies before me from tiie Coll. Tossizza which T denominate cretacea. In this interesting rrciurcn. 

 form, the bands of the forewings as well as the liand of the hindwings are of a pure white. In telesiphe and 

 sotericus they are red on the forewings. in telcsipJic white, in fiotericu.s yellow on the hindwings. One specimen 

 from French Guiana." 



In Eueides lanipeto (p. 396) we must add to the form jvUijinonn : al). pallida Riji ■ from Pastaza (Ecuador), indlida. 

 Forewiug similar to carho, but the ground-colour intensely lu'ightened. outside ahni>s1 whitish. Described accor- 

 ding to 1 $. 



To Eueides isnbeUa htibneri Mr. Neu.stetter kindly sent us the following description of a new form: 

 .,E. isah. htibn. var. olga subsp. nov. differs from htibneri by a sulphurous transverse band being noticed on oliin. 

 the hindwing between the costal margin and the median Ijand. The veins in it red-brown like the ground- 

 colour. The subapical band consists of somewhat smaller spots than in hiibneri Men. Otherwise there are no 

 differences. One ^ from ('hanchamayo (Peru)."

By the kindness of Mr. Dyar and Mr. Skinner in Ameri(-a, and the investigations of Mr. Barnes and 

 Mr. Synder who were kind enough to control the models, I subsecpiently came into the possession of a number 

 of authentical specimens figured on t. 103 b and c. 



M. quino Behr. The ^ is easier to distinguish than the 9 greatly resembling chalcedon: its upper sur- qnum. 

 face is darker, with smaller spots and with red-brown macular chains between the yellow ones. — \^'e figure

M. beani Skinn. The figure on t. 103 has been procured from Mr. Dyar according to a specimen of hcatii. 

 his collection. It distinctly exhibits the differences, especially regarding the position of the yellow macular 

 bands. The form is, especially by the reduction of the red-brown, considerably chxrker than anicia. — brucei hrucei. 

 Ediv. from Colorado, is a still dai'ker form in which the upper and under surfaces are overshadowed by a sooty 

 black. Seems to be very rare. The figure was done according to a specimen which Mr. Barnes kindly con- 

 trolled. 



M. boUii Edit. (103) from Arizona and definita Aaron (103) from Texas we figure according to kindly hoirti. 

 sent specimens of which that of bollii was controlled by Mr. N. Be^er, of definita by Mr. W. Barnes. Both *"/""'"• 

 approximate moi-e leanira than thekla, but they distinctly differ from the foi-mer: In bollii the lighter median 

 band of the hindwing is very regular, towards the inner margin hardly narrowed, not acuminated; dejvmta 

 resembling a darkened irrighti (88 f) above, has a greatly shifting under surface of the hindwings wiiich is tra- 

 versed very niuch by black. 



M. maria Skinn. which we only briefly mentioned p. 434, probably most closely approxinuites brucei, marUi. 

 but tiu^ macular chains above are somewhat differently arranged, and on the under surface of the hindwings 

 we are at once struck by the difference of the submarginal, light-yellow helmet-s})()ts being more than twice 

 as broad in maria. Mr. A. J. Snyder had the kindness to control a specimen we figure on t. 103. 



Of M. gilettei Barnes we figui'e t. 103 both surfaces of the type which Mr. Barnes had painteil for us. ijiktici. 

 The animal originates from the Yellowstone Park and is immediately recognizable by a strange obliteration 

 and the uniformity of the dull red-brown distal baud. Mr. Dyar places it between quino and mibigena. 



M. neumoegeni Skinn., reproduced on t. 103 according to a specimen in the Coll. A. Koebele origina- mHnioiujcii. 

 ting fron\ the Argus Mountains in California, has, therefore, a wider distribution and remiiuls us in the colom'ing 

 of the upper surface of prMa (88). (A. Seltz.)
