694 CALYDNA. By Dr. A. Seitz. 



lusra. C. lusca Hbn. (135k). o ■^iniilar to chariUa-Q, .smaller, the forewing.s with some larger vitreous spots 



at the costa, the hindwiugs angular in the middle of the border. $ similar to that of calamisa, but the small 

 vitreous spots scarcer and in some places larger, the ground-colour intermixed with red-brown. Colombia 

 vcnusta. to Peru. ^ — venustaG. and <§. is the northern form going as far as Mexico: here the (J is more brightly marked, 

 the fenestrae larger, the black ground-colour more intermixed with lighter bows. $ brown, otherwise like 

 the (J. Rare. 



ruthr'id. C. euthria Ww. (135 k). Quite similar to the preceding, but scarcely more than half as large, much 



more unsteadily marked, on each M'ing only 1 larger vitreous spot. Amazon; some more finding-places are 

 doubtful. 



'""■'■"■ C. itiicra Bat. approximates the preceding, is velvety brown, irregularly speckled in brown and spotted 



in black, before the border a number of black, brown-tinged spots are arranged to a band. Numerous vitreous 

 dots, those in cells of the wings larger, as well as some near the apex. Amazon: rare. 



sliiniida. C. sturnula Hbn.-G. (135 k). Similar to the preceding, larger, the dark-brown ground-colour exhibits 



numerous red-brown embeddings, the forewing behind the cell with a larger vitreous spot and several dots 

 lur/ijax. as line as the stings of a needle. Guiana to North Brazil. — hegyas Fhlr. from Central America and Mexico 

 chiefly differs by the small white spots being not so distinctly prominent. — Rare. 



xiniioia. C. sinuata Fldr. This species described from Actajac in Mexico is said to be like hegyas, but smaller 



by one third, with a somewhat sickle-shaped apex of the forewing and a dentate border: the hindwings more 

 gnawed out, the colouring above more dark ashy grey, the fringes speckled in a dirty white. 



cah/rr. C. calycc Hew. (135 k). Differing from the preceding by the basal and distal parts of the hindwings 



being brownish-yellow in the ^, more honey-yellow in the $. the centre being dark, though decorated with 

 several small vitreous spots. The under surface similar to the upper surface. Amazon: we figure it from 

 Santarem . 



cabirii. C. cabira Heir. (135 k). (^ black, 9 brown, both recognizable by the two white vitreous spots behind 



the cell-end being joined to an oblique band. Amazon. Not common. 



crphits-sii. C. cephissa Hew. This species from the Upper Amazon has on a blackish-brown ground honey-yellow 



spots in, behind and below the cell-end as well as before the anal angle of the forewing and behind the cell-end 

 of the hindwing. — Before the distal margin a series of fine vitreous dots, as small as the sting of a needle. 

 The under surface somewhat resembles that of Apodemia. erostratvs (141 a) or of certain Phyciodes, but it 

 has no brownish-yellow at the base of the wings. From the Upper Amazon. 



wariilosd. C. maculosa Bal. Unknown to me; is said to have the shape of cabira (135 k). but a less produced 



apex of the forewing and a less angled border of the hindwing. Above fawn-coloured with many dark square 

 spots in a yellowish-brown corona and many small whitish spots, one of which is in each cell of the wings, 

 below the rising of the first median vein, and a series of 7 or 8 behind the cell. Fringes darker and with 

 lighter brown speckles. Likewise from the Upper Amazon. 



ciipriiia. C, caprina Hew. (136 a). Larger than the preceding, but blackish-brown with a white oblic^ue oval 



of the forewings, beneath fawn-coloured, with a darker tinge, at the costa of the forewing and the inner 

 margin of the hindwing lighter and striated in black. North Brazil. 

 '"'"'""■ C. catiena Hew. Similar to the preceding, but the upper surface unicolorously dark brown, except 



the white oblique oval of the forewing. Beneath dark fawn-coloured, striated dark and with some scattered 

 black dots. Apex of the forewing pointed, border not gnawed out. Brazil. 



carncm. C. carneia He.n'. (136 b). Very near to cabira, but the white transparent band formed by the double- 



spot behind the cell-end is angled, as the lower spot extends towards the border. Larger than cabira. Be- 

 neath at the base of the forewing a reddish-yellow spot. Amazon. Rare. . 



rdtana. C. catana Hew. (136 b). In the ^ the two white fenestrae of the forewing are moved apart, so that 



the black ground-colour passes through between them. On the hindwing appears a small white subbasal band. 

 In the (brown) $ the two spots of the forewing as well as the spot near the base of the hindwing are con- 

 siderably smaller. Venezuela and the adjoining district of the Amazon (Humayta). 

 '"'""'• C. hiria Godt. (= caiitas Heir.) (136 a). The forewings exhibit only yet a white square spot and 



above it, below the costa, another dot, the hindwings near the base a bottle-shaped spot. In the ? all the spots 

 are smaller and stand on a yellowish-brown speckled ground. Widely distributed. Specimens from Peru (Pa- 

 chitea) are considerably larger than those from the Amazon or from farther to the north. Rare. 



'■'■"• C. cea Hew. {— ? zea Schs.) (136b). Forewings like in the preceding species: but the hindwings 



have no white basal band, but in the (J a .sky-blue distal margin. Before me are only ^^ from Bolivia.
