9(30 ■ PHLEBODES. By Dr. M. Draudt. 



E. cocoa Kaye is larger than the preceding, brownisli-black, the basal half of the costal margin scaled 

 (^olden; postdiscally there are 3 yellowish hyaline spots, the lowest of which is the largest; in the continuation 

 there are 2 subapical dots. Hindwing more intensely sca'ed greenish golden. Tlie forewing beneath is proxi- 

 mally blackish; hindwing brownish, somewhat iridescent with an indistinct row of lighter postdiscal spots. 

 Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Trinidad. 



E. purgis Sch-s. Above uni-colom-ed dark brown, beneath the same. Hindwing dark reddish-brown 

 with a small white patch at the cell-end and a similar one behind it below the lower median vein; before the 

 distal margin there is between the radial veins a large white spot and 2 smaller ones below it. Expanse of wings: 

 27 mm. Petropolis. 



E. ritans Schs. \A'ings dark brown; the scent-spot extends below the median to the upper median 

 vein. The under surface is likewise dark brown, the hindwing dusted reddi.sh with a small yellow postdiscal 

 spot near the tipex and 2 others nearer to the anal angle. Expanse of wings: 25 mm., Petropolis. 



138. Genus: Phlebodes Hbn. 



Palpal terminal joint conical, very short; on the forewing the middle radial vein is strongly bent down 

 at the base. Hindwing at the anal angle somewhat prolonged. The scent-stripe extends from the rise of the 

 upper median vein to the middle of the submedian. 



liiirriiix. Ph. tiberius Mschlr. (= pertinax Wts. nee Cr.) (187 a). Above brown, the grey stigma is on both 



sides bordered with black; behind and below the cell of the forewing there are 4 spots in a bent row, the upper- 

 most is very small, or also entirely absent; besides there are 3 subapical dots, all of them ochreous-yellowish. 

 The under surface is lighter, the costal margin and apex of the forewing ochreous-yellow, the spots indi.stiirct ; 

 the costal margin of the hindwing is broad yellowish like a transverse row of spots behind the cell. Mexico to 

 Colombia and Guiana; Trinidad. 

 pci-fiiia.r. Ph. pertinax Cr. (187 a, b). Above blackish-brown, with a white cellular spot, 2 postdiscal ones behind 



it and 2 subapical dots; besides a submedian yello-wish patch. Hindwing analwards with 2 or 3 lighter dots 

 near the distal margin. Beneath the apex of the forewing and the hindwing shoAvs a steel-blue reflection, with 

 fine yellowish veins and a postdiscal row of 5 small whitish dots. Surinam. 

 ret'iriildtii. Ph. reticulata Plotz (= meton Mob., suffenas Mab.) (187 a). .Jet-black, costal margin of forewing as 



far as the cell-end, and the submedian space are light reddish-yellow; an indented band extends from the apex 

 to the lower median vein, it is below gnawed out and behind separated from the reddish-yellow colour b}? a 

 black streak. Hindwing black with a reddish-yellow, rounded discal spot separated by the veins. Beneath 

 the forewing is yellowish at the costal and distal margins, in the disc blackish, the oblique band only feebly 

 pronounced. Hindwing dirty yellow, postdiscally darkened, in it a lighter band from the costal fold to the 

 inner-marginal fold, analwards more yellow. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Teffe. 



viahiiu. Ph. matuta Plotz (187 b) is perhaps allied to reticulata (187 a) and differs by the orange band of 



the forewing being comjjosed more of separate and smaller spots. The hindwing, however, is very much more 

 extensively orange, with fine black veins, and iniiformly narrow black margins. Patria unknown. 

 rr/iila. Ph. vctula 3Iab. approximates pertinax Cr. (187 a, b). Blackish-brown, fringes grey. Beneath browner, 



disc of forewing blackish-brown, at the apex with yellow veins, at the proximal angle light. Hindwing blackish- 

 brown, with yellow veins. Brazil. 



niniHKs. Ph. voranus Mab. doubtfully belongs to this genus. Ferruginous black, the costal margin of the 



forewing as far as the cell-end reddish-yellow; at the apex begins a reddish-yellow band and expands to the 

 submedian, being divided by the veins into 6 dissimilar spots, j^roximally to it there is the black .scent-stripe. 

 Hindwing ferruginous-brown with short reddish-yellow postdiscal spots. Beneath the forewing is light reddi.sh 

 brown, in the middle and at the base blackish, the macular bancl lighter than above. Hindwing yellowish- 

 brown with a broad whitish-yellow band extending from the costal margin across the cell-end to the inner- 

 marginal fold. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Colombia. 

 irciiiiis. Ph. trebius Mab. Light brown with 3 small subapical dots and a white postdiscal spot behind the 



cell; hindwing with yellow hair. Forewing beneath brown, at the costal margin red-brown, the dots somewhat 

 larger and one more at the lower cell-end, the distal margin being lilac-grej^ Hindwing blackish, at the base 

 darker, towards the apex wdth 2 lighter quadrangular spots. Expanse of wings: 27 mm. Bogota. 

 ihrri„<ii\. Ph. iheringii ]\[ab. Above blackish or olive-brown, on the forewing with 3 white subapical hyaline 



dots and 2 small postdiscal spots. Fringes of the forewing brown, at the hindwing ochreous. Beneath the forewing 

 is blackish at the base, at the costal margin as far as the hyaline dots reddish, and below the discal spots lighter 

 yellow'ish. Base of hindwing blackish, in the marginal area yellowish or reddish-grey or also reddish-yello\\', 

 always lighter. Expanse of wings: 27 to 28 mm. Rio Grande do Sul. 



inciiijri;. Ph. mengeli Weeks is doubtfully placed here. Above dark brown with 2 minute white subapical spots, 



a larger one behind the lower cell-end and below it 2 small ones next to each other. Stigma black. Hindwing 

 dark brown with 4 whitish, small iiidistinct spots towards the apex behind the cell towards the anal angle. 

 Beneath somewhat lighter brown, near the anal angle of the forewing dusted with whitish. Hindwing light
