XENIADES: TELLES. By Dr. M. Draidt. 951 



P. anchora Hev. (l.S4c) is above coloured and marked entirely the same, but somewhat smaller. aii()i,,rii. 

 Beneath the red-brown parts are lighter, the large silvery **pot of the hindwing is not situate below the cell, 

 but behind it, and near the distal margin there is only a smaller silvery spot. Likewise from Para; Trinidad. 



P. brino ('r. (IS4d) resembles anchora above except the more oehreous-yellow hairing on the body hnnd. 

 and the base of the wings. Beneath on the red-brown hindwing 2 transverse silvery .spots, both composed of 

 3 spots each. From Sm-inam. 



P. argyrostactos M((h. Itelongs to the same group from which it differs l)y the absence of the white iir(/i/ri>sl,ir- 

 spot on the hindwing beneath. Above deej) brown, at the base oehreous-yellow; forewing with 4 white hyaline '°''- 



spots, a double one in the cell and '.i oblicpiely behind it, the middle .spot being large, the lowest small, oval. 

 Forewing beneath blackish, at the base, round the spots, at the apex and at the distal margin red-brown, dusted 

 with yellow. Hindwing red-brown, strewn with yellow, with 3 silvery spots. 1 in the cell and 2 below it. Expanse 

 of wings: 48 mm. Brazil. 



116. Genus: XeiiindeK G. & S. 



Distinguished frQm the t\\o preceding genera by the straight distal margin of the forewing. The stigmn 

 is almost the same, but some species have one scent-stripe more on the median. 



X. orcliamus Cr. (= licia Plotz) (lS4d) resembles Aides epitus (184 a. Ii). but the silvery spot is ,„rh<t,in,x. 

 different and forms a band from the middle of the costal margin almost to the anal angle, \\hi(-h is broadei' 

 here; towards the apex there are 2 to 4 more smaller silvery spots; fringes white, at the foi'ewing towai'ds the 

 costal margin smoky. Panama to Brazil. — f. xailthothrix Plotz (184e. d) is on the l)ody and the base of the .nniihothri.i-. 

 wings much brighter oehreous-yellow, also the hyaline spots are more yellowish, on the hindwing there are 

 only 2; on the hindwing beneath there is only the proximal silvery spot, the distal arm broken up into very 

 small spots. Pvio de Janeiro. 



X. difficilis sp. n. (184d) does not differ from orchainus above. Beneath the submedian spot of the tliii'icilU. 

 forewing is much smaller, more indistinct: the principal mark is the differently shaped silvery band of the hind- 

 wing, which is broader, towards the base convex from the costal margin to in front of the proximal margin, 

 penetrating much farther into the cell than in orcliamus, where it is proximally almost rectilinearly defined: 

 below the costal margin it is interrupted so that there is here an isolated .spot : another difference is in the dark- 

 fringes ; in orchamus they are white and also bend yet for some distance upwards at the proximal margin. Accor- 

 ding to 1 ^ from Toroico (Bolivia) from the foil. Fas.sl. 



X. laureatus sp. noi\ (184 d) is above deep dark green on the body and base of the wings, the ground- imimihis. 

 coloru' being black, not brown; the small snbapical dots are minute, also the snbiuedian spot is very small, 

 all the hyaline spots purely white; on the hindwing there are 4 postdiscal s]iots, 2 of which are always situated 

 together. Beneath somewhat duller, more brownish ; above the cellulai' spot the costal margin is spotted wliite. 

 the submedian spot is enlarged to half ofthe sid^median area and opa(.(ue white. Onthehindwing there is near the 

 distal margin a white, smoked band in which the hyaline spots are situate at the proximal margin. Body, palpi 

 below and base of club white like the fringes. According to 1 o from the Songo (Bolivia) from the Coll. Fa.ssl. 



X. pteras G. ct' S. (184 e) is very much like the following chalesfra, but the hindwing above is without iih'mx. 

 the proximal spot, and the body and base of the wings is more intensely metallic green. Beneath chestnut-red, 

 hindwing with a straight, creamy-white band turning upwai-ds at the anal angle. Panama, Colombia, ^'enezuela. 

 Trinidad. 



X. chalestra Heir. (184e). Brown, on the forewing with a cellular' spot arrd 3 large postdiscal ones, vlidU'^lra. 

 all of which are whitish-yellow hyaline, the two upper ones distally concave, and with 3 small subapical .stripes. 

 Hindwing with a round cellular spot and 3 behind it. Beneath the hindwing is chestnut-brown with a broad, 

 crearuy-white band being towards the anal part bent roirnd in an acute angle, and the 3 postdi-scal spots from 

 above behind it. Colombia. Brazil. — In f, concors H.-Schaff. the white dots behind the band of the hindwing room/w. 

 beneath are absent. 



X. cecropterus nor. sji. (184e) is somewhat smaller-, the hindwing rourider, irrstead of the scent- i.-rropirnis. 

 spots there are lorrg h;rii'. Above as the preceding, but the spots of the forewings are somewhat differently 

 shaped, the hindwing not spotted. Thoracal hairing greenish bluish-grey. Beneath the forewing is apically 

 tinted red-brown, the cellular spot is towards the costal margin contirrued in a yolk-coloured spot, the lowest 

 fades away in the lighter' anal angle. Hindw ing deep blackish-brown w ith a soruewhat reildish tint ; the upper 

 half of the distal margiir and the co-tal arrgle are broadly creamy, ending pointed downwards. 2 rS<S froru the 

 Coll. Fassl frorrr the Rio Songo (Bolivia). 



117. Genus: Tolles G. Si S. 



Very closel}' allied to the preceding genera. Anterrnae half as long as the costal margin: forewing less 

 prolonged, but hiirdwing at the anal angle. The cj is without the scent-organ; middle tibiae with spurs. 



T. arcalaus Cr. (184 e). Blackish-brown, base of wings and body metallic green; forewing with 2 urniUtus. 

 cellular spots and 3 below and behind theiu. the second being very large, triangular, before the apex there are 

 3 very small spots and 2 smaller ones below them, all yellowish hyalirre. The hindwing shows towards the apex
