 red area of the himlwings. Under surface extremely different: the hindwings preponderantly yellow with very 

 narrow black spots and bands prominently adorned with light blue. The marking of the hindwings with its 

 isolated eye-spots resembles much more cyn,os-ura. The yellow subapical spot of the forewings is more extensive 

 than in codoitinnn-us from Obidos and Brazil.

 black basal zone extends as far as to the middle of the cellule.

 hindwings. The preapical sjjots of the forewings smaller. Under sin'face easily recognizable by extremely reduced 

 black bands and spots of the hindwings. 



C. mranu iTienesa Fruhst. from Bahia is in the male considerably smaller than specimens from Para- niciirsn. 

 guay and Southern Brazil. All tlu' red l)ands and spots are narrowed. The under surface of the hindwings 

 is duller greyish-black with almost white zigzag-lines. The eye-spots are separated from each othci- by \mcom- 

 monly broad yellow bands. Seems to be the product of a dry region. 



C. 'pygas Ophis FrnJtsf. from Bahia is in the male larger than specimens from Espiritu Santo and opliix. 

 Rio Grande do Sul. The blue submarginal spotting of the hindwings is almost entirely extinct, but the red 

 area of the forewings especially beyond the cell is considerably larger. The under surface has a narrower black 

 apical zone of the forewings and a considerably larger blue spot of the forewings. — agrianes Fnihst. from Rio (uiriniirx. 

 Grande do Sul differs in the male by the almost entire effacement of the light-blue marking on the upper surface 

 of the forewings and the reduced white dotting of the forewings'. Beneath, the deviation is still more conspicuous 

 by the entire discoloration of the hindwings. They appear almost sulphurous with extremely blurred black 

 stripes and reduced eye-spots which, however, are, considering their small size, extraordinarily ornamented 

 in light-blue. — paragrias Fruhst. from Bahia deviates from all the pygas-THces by an extensive though dull imnKji-httt. 

 dark bluish-violet reflection on the upper surface of the hindwings, so that a resemblance has been created 

 with eyllene. as depicted on t. 102 A a. By the distribution of colours of the upper surface, a certain agreement 

 in the colours has been attained with Agrias claudian-us Stgr. The under surface forms an intermediary bet- 

 ween 'pygas and pygas agriades, but the upper surface of the hindwings is of a more intense yellow and the blue 

 spots are more prominent and lighter than even in pygas ophis. The specimens are remarkably large, whereby 

 they approximate ophis. — C. eyllene (p. 495) forma oberthiiri Niep. from Ecuador is an aberrative form diffe- cullcne. 

 ring only by the under surface where all the blue is darker and more expanded, the white pupils being absent. '"" '""' 

 the yellow subapical band narrower, the blue apical band, however, broader, the yellow distal margin of the 

 hindwings broader, the black submarginal band without blue lunae, but at the proximal liorder there are seven 

 closely adjoining spots being encircled by black arcs and reaching as far as to the black-framed median mar- 

 kings, the inner angle exhiVnts a blue, black-shaded spot. 



C. claudinides Fruhst. from Paraguay greatly resembles above eyllene (102 A a). The red area oi rldiullnUlo 

 the forewings is considerably more reduced than in eyllene. The under surface of the hindwings is more faded 

 grey, the two submarginal bands are likewise faded and without blue spots. — eucale Fruhst. from Santa Catha- miaiic 

 rina (Blumenau) differs from the forms of more northern patriae by the expansion of the black iimer margin 

 of the forewings, which sometimes fills up the whole basal third of the cellule. The under surface is much lighter 

 than in agrianes, particularly the light yellow preapical band of the forewings is nearly always twice as broad 

 as in agrianes and pygas. The black submarginal lines of the hindwings effaced. The eyespot-markings of 

 the hindwings are often surrounded only by a very narrow black ring. 



C. hydas'pes delmas Fnihst. from Paraguay is distinguished from the form from Espiritu Santo and ilchuds. 

 Bahia by a narrowed band of the forewings and the considerably reduced blue-iridescent area of the hindwings. 

 The preapical band of the under surface of the forewings is nearly twice as broad. 



C. peristera delna Fruhst. from Peru (Ghanchamayo) is in the male above just as extensively carmine ilchin. 

 as the 9 of peristera. The under surface also approximates that of the $ of peristera. 



C. atacaina nianova Fruhst. from Colombia differs from the Ecuador-specimens by the much nari'ower niinii'm. 

 yellow zone of the forewings and the blue spot of the hindwings reaching only to the cell-apex. The under 

 surface is characterized by a very extensive black submarginal area of the forewings and the widened black 

 longitudinal bands of the forewings. — carnania Fruhst. from Peru has a but slightly nanower orange median raniduid. 

 area than atacama. The magnificent spot of the hindwings, however, is still less expanded than in inunova. 

 The under surface of the hindwings exhibits more extensive black longitudinal stripes than the Colombian 

 race, so that the yellow bands are still more strangulated than in atacama from Ecuador and Colombia. — 

 ronata Fruh.^t. from \'eneziu'la exhibits the orange liand of the forewings still more incised and nari-o\\cr than miiata.
