898 CARRHENES. By Dr. M. Drafdt. 



X. tryxus Or. (175 c). Above brownish-grej', dusted bhiish with numerous hyaline spots arranged 

 Uke a band; beneath at the proximal margin of the forewing and in tlio disc of the hindwing almost purely 

 white. Everywhere very common from Mexico to Southern Brazil, generally not rising beyond altitudes of 

 3 to 4000 ft. 



riiaiancnsis. X. ruataiiensis G. d' S. is probably of the same species. It is smaller and much darker, parti- 



cularly on the under surface of the hindwing the white area is very narrowly confined, the hyaline spots smaller. 

 Known only from the Island of Ruatan (Honduras). 



25. Genus: Carrlieiies G. d- S. 



Almost the same as the preceding, but the (^^ exhibit a costal fold and a brown hair-pencil on the 

 posterior tibiae. On the forewing the upper median vein rises nearer at the lower cell-angle. 



fuscescens C. fuscescens Mab. (175 d) is above dark greyish-brown with a reddish shine, spotted darker in the 



shape of transverse bands, and with 7 minute hyaline spots, one of them in the cell, 3 subapical ones and 3 

 below them. Beneath somewhat lighter, of a reddish-yellow, marked as above with a black spot at the anal 

 angle of the hindwing. Mexico to Honduras. 



calidius. C. calidius G. d- S. (175 d) is very similar, in the middle of the proximal margin of the forewing 



and in the disc of the hindwing brightened up by lilac whitish, whereby the macular band of the hindwing is 

 more distinct. Beneath the hindwings are more whitish, the macular bands often almost extinct. Mexico to 



the Amazon. 



chaeremon. C. chaeremoti Mdb. (175 d) is considerably larger, very similar, but with clearer and more distinct 



markings; wings in the basal and marginal areas more blackish-grey, in the disc lighter, particularly on the 

 hindwing almost white. The 2 is still larger, the bases of the wings darker, the rest whiter, the markings more 

 feeble. Expanse of wings: 35 to 38 mm. Sao Paulo. 



auiander. C. autander Mnh. resen^bles Chiomara asychis (178 a). Wings greyish-black with a marginal band of 



minute black spots being anteriorly pupilled whitish ; at the apex there are 3 quadrangular hyaline spots, below 

 them a blackish band; in the disc there are 2 black, interrupted dentate lines, between them whitish; in the 

 submedian area a red-brown spot. The hindwing is brownish black, with an antemedian white band bordered 

 with black, near the margin with a reddish-white macular band. Beneath the hindwing is white, at the proximal 

 margin bluish with 3 blackish macular bands in the disc. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Buenos Ayres. 



hesa. C. besa Mab. is dark greyish -yellow with 3 apical hyaline dots on the forewing, an oblong cell-spot 



with a small one at the costal margin above it and 4 behind it between the median and lower radial veins. 

 Hindwing with a dark discal band, along the margin with small, indistinct, j'ellowish spots, also in the middle. 

 The under siu-face is lighter, more yellow, the forewing with a bent row of 5 or 6 yellowish spots before the 

 apex; on the hindwing beneath the light macular bands are more distinct, particularly the distal one; in 

 the cell a round, yellowish-white spot. Expanse of wings: 28 mm. Patria unknown. 



andraenion. C. andraemotl 3Iab. has the size and shape of chaeremon (175 d). Wings dirty white, dusted light 



reddish-brown, the ba^e of the forewing brown bordered by a darker colour, projecting below the cell, here 

 with a quadrangular, light yellow spot : the discal area is almost white, at the co.stal margin witli a brown triangle, 

 the apex of which is situate at the cell-end; into the light brown marginal area the white discal area projects 

 in 2 small spots between the radial veins. Hindwing brown, the costal margin as far as the middle white, behind 

 it with 2 brown bands. Under surface white with a brown costal-marginal triangle. Colombia. 



competes. C. calHpetes G. ct- S. (175 d) resembles fuscescens, but it has more numerous hyaline spots; the 



spot at the cell-end is double, above them there is another spot at the costal margin ; the discal spots are larger 

 and extend almost to the proximal margin. The hindwing also shows 2 hyaline spots in the disc. Beneath 

 the hindwing does not shov\' a spot at the anal angle. From Southern Mexico to Colombia, everywhere rare. 



meridensis. C. merideilsis G. & S. (175 d) approaches callipetes and is easily discernible by the whitish-blue anal half 



of the hindwing beneath. Costa Rica, Venezuela. 



canescens. C. canescens Fldr. (175d, e) is another very similar species, smaller, of a paler colour, with smaller 



hyaline spots; on the forewing the dark spots are more distinct. Beneath the colour is still much paler, the 

 spots very irregular. Widely distributed and common from Mexico to Colombia. 



leada. C. leada Btlr. (175 e) is above in the disc still much paler, almost yellowish-white, so that a large, 



darker apical spot is very prominent, the basal area being darkened, too. Costa Rica to Paraguay. 



dUucida. C. dilucida Mschlr. (175 e) is a species placed here as doubtful by Mabille. Above greyish-brown, 



in the discal area strewn with red with 3 small apical hyaline spots and a broad discal hyaline band. The hind-
