 (Colombia. Lathy cO Rosenberg denote Felder\s figure to be extraordinarily marred, and put stress upon 

 the great resemblance of this species with troezenides (22 d) and jiositively assert both the sidjspecies to be 

 one and the same species. 



Cat. zande FIdr. (p. 73 as synonym to com) has, according to the nuiterial of the British and Paris zainh: 

 Museums, been recognized by Lathy <£• Rosenberg (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1911. p. 521) to be synonymous 

 with cora Luc. and paradoxa (22 d) likewise synonymous with this species. The said authors state that com 

 has hitherto not been correctly identified by anybody, what is due to the insufficient description. But as our 

 figure of paradoxa corresponds with the description of com, Luc, it has to be regarded as the typical one, and 

 the name cora has to be cancelled and replaced by the name paradoxa the deseription of which is accompanied 

 by a correct figure. 



Cat. manco Dhl. has likewise been mistaken hitherto. Lathy cf- Rosenberg have described and niniico.

 said authors, incerta Dogn. The work in which this .species is figiu'Cfl (Lep. Loja II) is not accessible to us. incrta. 



Cat. ochracea Bat., according to Lathy <£,- Rosenberg, is the Guatemala-form of nntihke, (22 1)); ochnu-ia. 

 we coidd not ol)tain any specimens of it; it is presumably little different. 



Cat. amastris Hew. is said to be the 5 of niohe (22 d); amastris is unknown to us. (mf/sirh. 



Cat. apaturiua (22 f ). Lathy d.' Rosenberg remark that the specimen figured by us does not correspond 

 with the type (in the British Museum), because the latter exhibits a w h i t e band of the hindwing, and that 

 it apparently corresponds more with truncata having been described by the said authors. Our specimen originates 

 from Ecuador, the habitat of the a2Mturina Btlr., truncata, however, from Venezuela. In our specimen the 

 band of the hindwing is still darker yellow than in our figure, but still lighter than in the figure of truncata; 

 the inider sru'face of our specimen differs considerably from that of truncata: whilst the forewing does not show 

 great differences beside its darker ground-colouring, the hindwing exhibits both in the distal and basal areas 

 a light bluish shine and at the costal margin a white stripe which is oidy in the middle narro^^■ly interrupted 

 by black, and at the end of the discal cell there are 2 yellow dots. In case this specimen should belong to 

 a separate species, it may be denominated: xanthotaenia. .ranthofac-

 triangles on both wings; beneath still lighter, especially in the hindwing. The insect makes the imjaression of 

 a C. manco (194 c) having turned entirely orange, but all the dark parts, also the base of the wing, the cell and 

 the black-tinted veins are much less dusted dark. The $ presumably belonging to it is very much like that 

 of manco, but all the marginal wedge-shaped spots are more pointed and those of the forewing more distinct, 

 and the whole ground-colour is of a purer white, too." Monte Tolima in the Colombian Central Cordilleras at 

 an altitude of 3200 m. 



Cat. soccorensis Fassl. ,,Size, coloiu'ing and marking above very much like that of C scmiramis (22 d); eocioirmis. 

 but the yellowish-white oblicpie band passing through the middle of the hindwing is almost entirely absent. 

 The costal margin of the forewing is still more indented; the hindwings are more sharply dentate. Quite different 

 is the under surface which recalls the most that of C. niohe (22 d) but is still more distinctly marked. The 

 yellow radiary rays thereby become much more distinct, so that they are, just like the median oblique band 

 of the hindwing, situate on a bluLsh-grey gromid (not light yellow as in niohe). The dense hairing of the 

 head, thorax, and bases of the wings is of a lustrous black and much darker than in niohe. This new, 

 charming Catasticta is a decidedly alpine insect of which I only captured a single specimen on the svunmit of 

 Mount Socorro in the Colombian Western Cordilleras, at an altitude of almost 4000 m, where it was drinking 

 in the company of the red C. tricolor in a snug, picturesque gorge at the bank of an icy brook. It probably 

 represents the C. niohe of Peru and Bolivia in Colombia."

 like Archonias pharnakia Frulist. (21 c), but beneath it has the tj-pical marking of Cat. modesta.'' Colombian

 olive-yellow as in the type. It forms the transition between modesta and troezene (p. 105) and probably replaces 

 these forms on the eastern slope of the Colombian Eastern.Cordi]leras ; whilst farther to the south in Peru and 

 Bolivia the modesta-iorms are replaced by the still whiter, thus certainly closely allied C. hebra (22 d)." Rio
