Publ. IS. III. 1924. Additions: PIERIDAE. By J. Ruber. 1017 



Of Perrhyhrls lorena Hew. (20 f) A. H. Fassl captured a H€niter on the bank of the Rio Estanz\ielo 

 (East Colombia, near the small town of Villavicencio). The female (rijiht) half differs from typical $$ by the 

 median band being yellow in the distal half anfl by the sidjapical band being dusted witli red; the red median 

 band of the hindwing shows an admixture of yellow scales. 



P. ■pyrrha F. (p. 64), according to Burmester, also occurs in Aigentina (Missiones). Presumably 

 one of the southern forms is meant by it. 



Pereute ■swainsoni $ form, albosignata Niej}. The description rans as follows: the transverse band of aJho^'njnuta. 

 the forewing above and beneath of a pure white, basal spots of hindwing beneath white, the costal-marginal spot, 

 being otherwise yellow, is here also white and basally shortened. Length of forcwings: 32 mm. Brazil (Sao 

 Joao).

 hindwing beneath has much yellow marking. Colombia (Muzo).

 species as Archonias pharnakia (21 e), since it merely differs by a slight increase of the marking especially on 

 the hindwing beneath. It is a matter of opinion to place this species to Catasticta or Archonias; in its exterior 

 pharnakia agrees better with Archonias than with Catasticta. The name rubricata seems to have the priority.

 is broader and the margin of the hindwing much more extensive. $ similar to the o, scarcely coloured j^ellow. 

 We have specimens of both sexes and it can scarcely be doubtful that the species differs from sisamnus. Not 

 only the discal spots of both wings are larger, but those in the hindwing also flow together with the trans- 

 verse band. Thereby the distal margin is much narrower and its proximal border very irregidar, almost serrate. 

 $ quite similar to the (J, but as much as our specimens exhibit, the cellular band is white and not yellow as 

 in most of the ?? of the other species. Patria: Costa Rica, Panama, Veragua, Chiriciui, Colombia, Ecua-

 Colombia (Rio Agua, 2000 m, A. H. Fassl) represents a local form of this species; the discal spots of the fore- 

 wing are smaller, and there ai'e not 3, but 2, the dark border of the hindwing being more reduced; I cannot 

 tell in what way the under svu-face differs. — It is doubtfid whether helle nov. (104 b) from West Colombia hdle.
