894 CYCLOSAEMIA. By Dr. M. Deaudt. 



17. Genus: C-yelosaeniia 3Iab. 



Scarcely to be separated from Nisoniades. Tlie forewing is comparatively a little broader, the hindwing 

 still rounder, the terminal joint of the palpi longer. Quite a number of mostly rather simiiar forms. 



hcrcnnhis. C. hcrennius Cr. (174 g). Above deep blackish-brown, in the basal half almost black, at the cell- 



end with a large, black spot twice pupilled white, and behind it besides 2 black bands. Hindwing the same, though 

 without the cell-spot. Beneath the forewing is lighter brown, at the proximal margin light brownish; the hind- 

 winw is bluish-giey with 3 black transverse bands, the proximal one of ^vhich bifurcates in the shape of a Y 

 near the costal margin. .South America. 



caccus. C. caecus Ploiz (174g) is somewhat similar, discernible particularly by the non-pupillcd discal spot 



on the forewing. The colour is a lighter, duller brown, the bands are narrower. Beneath the hindwing is lighter 

 lilac-grey, the bands pale brownish, the proximal one not forked. Patria unknown. 



morvHs. C. morvus Plotz (174 g) is very much larger, it has only a singly pupilled cell-spot, only one cm'ved 



band behind it, in which there are 3 white subapical dots below the costal margin; hindwing at the distal margin 

 somewhat lighter with small darker spots in the spaces between the veins. Beneath the proximal third of the 

 hindwing is bluish, at the proximal margin almost entirely white. Brazil. 



monoph- C. nionophthalma Plotz (= trigonilla Schs.) (174 g) is smaller, above similar to momis, but much 



ihalma. lighter brown: the singly pupilled cell-spot is situate in a yellowish ring; the subapical spots are absent. Beneath 

 the hindwing is monotonously light brown with 2 fine bro\\n transverse bands, and in front of a marginal line 

 with a row of dark triangular sjaots. Biazil. 



pliidijlc. C. phidyle G. d- S. (174g) like cnecns, has a non-pupillcd black cell-spot, but it is much larger; 



the brown wings are lighter in the disc, 3 subapical dots in one line are encircled by black. The species is easily 

 recognized by the light reddish-yellow apical half of the forewing beneath, in which the cell-spot is entirely 

 absent. It seems liitherto only to be known from Panama. 



myris. C. myris 3Iab. is just as large as pMdyU; the apex of the forewing is prolonged. Above reddish- 



brown, without apical dots, with an indistinct blackish postdiscal band, which is angled on the upper radial 

 vein and runs obliquely to the proximal margin; in the large black cell-spot there is a white dot, from where 

 a brown shade extends to the proximal margin. The hindwing shows traces of 2 darker postmedian nebulous 

 bands. Beneath monotonously yellowish-brown, the cell-spot indicated by reddish-brown, the bands are more 

 distinct than above. It is perhaps no Cyclosaemia. Described according to 1 $ from Sa. Catharina. 



anastomo- C. aiiastoniosis Mah. (]74h) is a more common species, above brown with 2 darker transverse bands 



*■'*■• and the cell-spot encircled by yellowish, with 2 white dots there in. Beneath lighter, the bands narrower, on 



the hindwing spot-shaped; the proximal margin of the hindwing is bluish-grey. Widely distributed from Mexico 



to Brazil. 

 binoculKs. C. binoculus Mschlr. {— carina Hew.) (174 h) differs by more spot-shaped transverse bands, the proximal 



one being only indicated on ihe forewing, the margin darkened. Beneath the bluish-grey colour is absent at 



the ijroximal margin of the hindwing, instead of which there is a large black spot at the anal angle. Para. 



gratiosa. C. gratiosa Mah. resembles binoculus. Forewing above yellowish brown Avith a broad, brown marginal 



band and a curved postdiscal band; the cell-spot as in the two preceding encircled by yellow with 2 white dots, 

 the basal area darker brown. Hindwing with 3 bent bands. Beneath light brown, the bands more distinct, 

 the forewing at the proximal margin light ash-grey. Hindwing at the costal and distal margins light grey, from 

 the middle to the proximal angle bluish-white; the bands on the brown ground distinctly defined, on the white 

 ground dying away except the marginal band remaining dark. Panama (C'hu-iqui). 



jacobus. C. jacobus Plotz (174 h) differs by the cell-spot above exhibiting 3 white dots and by 3 subapical 



hyaline dots. Beneath the hindwing is quite light blue with an irregular black border. From Rio. 



jjaidtiinis. C. paullinus Or. (174 h) is above quite similar to gratiosa, but it has a white subapical dot; beneath 



the whitish parts are colom-ed ochreous reddish-yellow. Guiana. 



Metallica. C. metallica 3Iab. is easily recognized by the metallic green head and thorax; above coppery brown, 



the forewing with 3 white subapical dots encircled by black; an antemarginal, a postdiscal and a discal brown 



band, the two distal ones spotted, the proximal one extending to the proximal m.argin as the continuation 



of the large, black, twice white-pupilled cell-spot. The hindwing shows 3 bands of brown spots. The under 



srrrface is light grey, almost white, the bands pale dirty brown. Guiana, Brazil. 



diophilitil- C. diophthalma Plolz (174 h) in its colour and marking resembles rather much monophthahna, but 



'""• the cell-spot itself is divided into 2 separate spots beneath each other, and the antcterminal macular band
