■l,,„io, p. lento Mab. (183 e) is somewhat larger than epictetus and similarly marked reddish -yellow, but the 



yellow bands are narrower, the costal margin is yellow only as far as the middle of the eell. the hindwing exhibits 

 a narrow vello\\ band. Beneath the forewing is red at the costal margin and apex, blackish at the proximal 

 maro-in and disc, instead of the band there is an oval yellow spot. Hindwing red. with yellow veins, at the proxi- 

 mal margin blackish-brown: below the cell there is a yello\\-. oblong spot. From Para. 



P. hyboma Plotz (183 e) looks above like the V of Zarins'pes mys: black with a yellow longitudinal 

 stripe beinc above indented behind the cell on the forewing. and an oval longitudinal sjiot of the liindwing: 

 fringes especially towards the anal angle broadh? 3'ellow. Beneath the hindwing is pecidiarly maikctl. light 

 yellow with a brown longitudinal stripe parallel to the costal margin and a longitudinal stripe along the inner- 

 marginal fold, and a brown distal-marginal band widening towards the anal part. From Minas Geraes. 



(in/i(s. P. argus sp. Hov. (183 e) somewhat resembles sartia. Above almost the same, but the hindwing is 



without the yellow marginal spots and the black hair-pencil. Beneath the hindwing is verj' different, in the 

 disc creamy white, base and distal margin brownish, behind the cell are 2 large black spots, between them a 

 very small one, all of them exhibiting outside a white pupil, and behind them another small black sjiot. between 

 the spots the veins are ferruginous-A'ellow ; inner-marginal fold striped black. According to a (^ from the ('oil. 

 Fassl, from the Songo (Bolivia). 

 Mirl'w. P. sartia Sclis. Above dark brown, basal half of costal margin light ochreous-brown ; spots light yellow, 



semi-transparent, bordered with a darker yellow: 3 small subapical spots, a large cpiadrangular spot between 

 the median veins, a smaller one above it, and a stripe above the submedian; base and proximal margin haired 

 ochreons-brown. Costal margin of hindwing broad dark brown, distal margin black, at the proximal margin 

 a black hair-pencil; disc dark ochreous-brown with some small yellow spots before the margin. Beneath 

 the forewing is black with a broad black shade at the proximal margin; disc ochreous with a velvety black 

 spot behind the cell and a large white spot behind it. and above the latter 2 white spots and below it likewise 

 2, another longer one below the lower median vein. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Petropolis. 

 nilntrai. P. calcarca Schs. Forewing dark brown with a broad reddish-yellow longitudinal band from the middle 



of the subme'dian towards the apex, narrowing near the middle radial and widening above it, then growing 

 narrow again and being crossed by the dark veins: hindwing with an oblique orange spot near the distal margin 

 between the lower median and middle radial vein. Beneath light brown, with light veins; forewing in the cell 

 and near the proximal angle black, the reddish-yellow spots darker. In the $ instead of the yellow band 

 whitish spots, only the lowest being yellow and double. Expanse of wings: ^ 30, $ 33 mm. Petropolis. 



iiiicriiis. P. imerius Plolz (183 e) is only doubtfully placed here like the following. Above reddish-yellow 



with broad black margins, a black, wedge-shaped stripe through the cell and another one half as long below 

 it. Beneath yellow, forewing at the base, as well as one spot each behind the cell and at the proximal angle 

 black; the apical part and the whole hindwing black, with very broad reddish-yellow veins. From Brazil. 



krexoN. P. krexos Plolz (183 e) is similar, larger, more robust, much more broadly bordered with black, 



with only one broad black longitudinal stripe of the forewing, being interrupted liy yellow at the cell-end. 

 Beneath the apex and costal-marginal part of the forewing as well as the whole hindwing are chestnut-coloured, 

 with narrow yellow veins. Described from Para. 



rini/((. P. rivula Alah. Blackish-brown, forewing with a postdiscal band of 8 ec£ually broad, reddish-yellow 



spots, being angled at the vipper radial vein, the 2 lowest hollowed out : in the cell a spot and below the costal 

 margin 2 streak-shaped spots. Hindwing with a round cellular spot and a light reddish-yellow median 

 band. Fringes brown, distally reddish-yellow. Beneath the forewing is black below the cell, at the costal margin 

 strewn with yellow, spotted as above. Hindwing with a broad median band, base strewn with yellow, the cellu- 

 lar spot surrounded by brown. Expanse of wings: 23 mm. Teffe. 



lirhia. P. levina Plolz (183f). Above black with a reddish-yellow subcostal stripe. 2 similar subapical dots, 



a cellular spot and 2 postdiscal ones as well as a submedian stripe; the 3 discal spots are lighter and semi-trans- 

 parent. Hindwing with a large reddish-yellow discal macular band. Beneath the apex of the forewing and the 

 hindwing are cinnamon-coloured with yellow veins. From Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). 

 flriroroatafa. P. flavocostata PIolz (183 f) is smaller, the reddish-yellow spots flown together to an oblicpic band, 



the subcostal space darkened. Hindwing with a reddish-yellow postdiscal spot and a similarly coloured median 

 as far as the base; fringes reddish-yellow. Beneath likewise very much like levinti. the ground more blackish- 

 brown, not so red, the veins broader yellow. From Rio de Janeiro. 

 %icini(s. p. vicinus Plolz (183f) resembles jlavocostaUi. but it is larger, of a more intense reddish yellow, on 



the hindwing with a broad postdiscal band; fringes nnich broader and brighter reddish-yellow, also on the 

 forewing. Beneath extensively yellowish-reddish, in the disc of the forewing blackish, on the hindwing with 

 some reddish-brown vein-stripes. Colombia. 



radiiitii. P. radiata Schs. Above dark brown with a bright yellow stripe in the basal half of the costal margin, 



another one below the submedian and one above it, ending in a large spot. At the rise of the lower median 

 vein there is a small round scent-spot, behind it a quadrangular one above which there is a small one in 

 the cell, all being pnpilled light yellow; another similar spot is between the median veins, another subapical
