across the middle a broad, brown transverse band distally accompanied by a fine undulate line ; basally another 

 brown spot, the inner-marginal part broad and brown. Brazil. 



C. lysiteles Mab. is only doubtfully placed here. Jet-black, with white-hyaline spots: 3 subapical Ijisitr'ex. 

 ones, 2 long ones in the cell and 4 in an oblique line behind them. Hindwing with a large oval spot with a 

 dentate distal margin in the middle, on the teeth dusted light blue, and with a bluish-white longitudinal 

 ray on the inner-marginal fold. Forewing beneath black with a grey proximal margin; hindwing purple black, 

 the white spot larger, extending from the siibcostal to the inner-marginal fold. Expanse of wings: 38 mm.

C. zeppa Plotz (ISOb) is above deep blackish-brown, with 2 white subapical dots and 2 postdiscal ■eppn. 

 white spots, the lower of which is larger, reniform. Beneath the forewing is at the distal margin and in the 

 anal submediau space light brownish-grey. Hindwing as dark as above, unmarked with light grey fringes.

C. aethra Pldtz (ISGa) is similar, somewhat larger, much lighter brown, the white spots much smaller, ac/lu-a. 

 subapically only a dot. 'Beneath as above, scarcely lighter, only the disc of the forewing somewhat darker. 

 Abdomen beneath whitish. Surinam. 



C. quadrangula Pldtz (= cubana H.-Schdff.) (186 b,c). Blackish-brown with an uncommonly large. qi'ii<lr''>i(;i< 

 quadrangular, white sjjot below the lower cell-end and a smaller one distally above it, as well as 3 subapical 

 dots. Beneath in the disc of the forewing black, otherwise reddish-brownish or lilac-brownish with a light, 

 yellowish cell-dot and a bent postdiscal row of dots. Brazil and Cuba. 



C. subcordata H.-Schdff. (18Cb) is very similar, larger, body and bases of wings faintly greenish, the mibmrrfata 

 white spots much smaller with whitish fringes on the hindwings. Beneath as the preceding, but the hindwing 

 unspotted with a deep chestnut disc and lighter brown distal and proximal margins. BrazU (Rio de Janeiro). - — 

 The form olympia Pldtz (186 c) is distinguished by one more postdiscal spot and has a small white dot on the o/ipnpia. 

 hindwing beneath. Fringes tinted more ochreous. Likewise from Brazil. 



C. nereides H.-Schdff. (186 c), without its habitat being known, is only doubtfully placed here and ni-roidot. 

 greatly resembles olympia, but it has one more narrow cellular and submedian sfiot, the latter yellowish. Beneath 

 more olive-brownish or greenish with a large, whitish anal spot of the forewing and 2 to 4 whitish postdiscal 

 dots on the hindwing. 



C. tertianus H.-Schdff. {= wurra, Mschlr. q, zoIa Mschlr. $) (186 c) is above quite uni-coloured brownish- irrii/nui.-i. 

 black, in the $ with 2 or 3 postdiscal hyaline spots, beneath lighter; on the forewing behind the middle near 

 the distal margin a du'ty white transverse band, on the hindwing the larger basal half is dirty white, like the 

 inner-marginal part. Costa Rica, Guiana. 



C. Hilda Plotz (186 d) is above blackish-brown, on the hindwing with 3 small, whitish spots behind hilrla. 

 the lower cell-end. The $ has on the forewing 3 large ochi-eous-yellow postdiscal spots and 3 small apical spots, 

 and on the hindwing in an acute angle to the 3 spots, which are here larger and cchreous-yellow, there is a thu'd 

 above them. Beneath very peculiarly marked: disc of forewing blackish-brown, distal margin behind the discal 

 spots broadly light greyish-brown. Hindwing light brownish-grey, in the discal area, projecting distally in 

 an acute angle and here bordered by whitish, darker; the whitish colour is the broadest towards the proximal 

 margin, below it there is a large and a very small blackish-brown spot ; a similar one is situate at the base of 

 the costal margin. Brazil, Blumenau, 1 $ from Salta (Argentina) in the Coll. Seitz. 



C. nubila Mab. only doubtfully belongs hereto. Light brown with a ferruginous reflection, particularly nuhiia. 

 towards the margin. Beneath lighter, more red; forewing with a submedian lighter, yellowish part, from the 

 base to the middle blackish; hindwing still lighter and more monotonous. Expanse of wings: 36 mm. Porto 

 Cabello. 



C. astur Mab. Light brown with 2 white subapical dots and 2 spots behind the lower cell-angle, the ((s/ki-. 

 upper being larger and quadrangular. Hindwing darker, fringes ferruginous brown. Beneath blackish, in the 

 middle of the forewing more grey, only the upper discal spot being visible. Hindwing black with 4 white post- 

 cellular dots, the 2 lower ones being larger. Expanse of wings: 31 mm. Coary. 



C. cleocliares Mab. Deep blackish-brown, on the forewing v\ ith 2 small white sTtbapical dots and 2 rhoikarex. 

 spots behind the lower cell-angle; fringes whitish-grey. Hind-wing unspotted with lighter fringes. Beneath 

 on the forewing the spots are more distinct, the distal half is lighter; base of hindwing blacker; a postcellular 

 semicircle of 4 white dots, a fifth in the cell. Expanse of wings: 29 mm. Valera. 



C. oblinita Mab. is above dark brown with a light red-brown reflection and orange-brown, scarcely ohiUiila. 

 visible spots: 2 subapical ones and 3 postdiscal ones. Hindwmg behind the middle lighter, fringes light ferru- 

 ginous. On the forewing beneath the costal margin and apex are red-bi'own, the proximal part black with more 

 distinct spots than above. Hindwing brown with a light red-brown band in the middle. The $ being placed 

 hereto is larger and has white spots, it may belong to another species. Expanse of wings: 3»» to 34 mm. Brazil 

 (Rio Grande). 



C. cannae H.-Schdff. (= osembo Mschlr., byzas Mab. i. 1.) (186 c,d) resembles Rinthon bistrigula rainmc.
