1028 Additions: DANAIDAE. By Dr. A. Seitz. 



clkiriformis. Napcogencs ellariformis Sfrd. is quite similar to Ithomia eUara Hew. (37 e) but the median hyaline 



band of the hindwing extends into the cell, the veins separating the hyaline spots are not so thick black, 

 the white marginal band spots are larger. From Peru. 



anteetla. Nap. anleella Strd. is almost like Ceratinia antea Hew. (35 d), bnt somewhat smaller, the blackish mar- 



ginal band relatively somewhat broader, more blackish-brown than jet-black, the small white spots em- 

 bedded there in larger and increased in number, as there is another one in the anal angle of the forewing; the 

 marginal band of the forewing forms a small tooth at the veins 3 and 4. Described according to 1 ^ from 

 South East Peru. 

 hcmi.s/icta. Nap. hemisticta Schs. from Gosta Rica forms an exact imitation of the Costa Rica form of Hyposcada 



adelphiria (38 c), exhibiting on the forewing likewise 2 red-brown basal rays and .several rows yellowish-white 

 spots in the distal half of the wing; it thereby also resembles Ithom. plaginotn (37 b), Nap. amara (35 d), 

 Cerat. callispila (35 a) and some more lepidoptera from Costa Rica in the company of which it flies there. 



Ithomia drynio Hbn. (37 g). Larva likewise on Solaneae, in 2 forms, with a red-brown or metallic 

 lustrous bluish-green ground-colour. Pupa light green, at the wing-cases lighter with but 2 small golden 

 spots at the sides of the capsule of the head. (Ferreira d' Almeida). 



boVn-ari. Ithom. bollvari Schs. is very much like patilla (37 f), but the black wedge-shaped spot in the centre 



of the forewing has such a broad base that it occupies a whole third of the costal margin. Costa Rica. 



Hypoleria orens Weym. (41 a). Larva on Solaneae, in its juvenile stage white, in its adult stage 22 

 to 23 mm, with a somewhat flat body, of a pure yellowish-green with a fine dorsal line, laterally lighter, 

 on the ventrum whitish; head green, on each side with a short, curved longitudinal row of black granulations. 

 Pupa green, very much like that of Ith. drymo. 



Heterosais edessa Hew. (41 g). Larva dull bluish-white, with a somewhat flat body; on the sides of 

 the dorsum rows of darker or blackish- spots; across the dorsum darker transverse wrinkles. Pupa uni-coloured 

 green, at the head golden dents with a blackish tip; larva on Solaneae. 



periivicola. Leucothyris peruvicola Strd. Like Leucoth. solida Weym. (38 g), but the hyaline band of the hindwing 



not expanded towards the anal margin, equably 5 mm broad, the marginal band only showing traces of 1 small 

 white dot. The light spots are mostly somewhat larger ; in the apical j^art of the forewing 3 small white spots. 

 comphta Hsch. differs from it by the white dots in the black marginal part being distinct there. South East 

 Peru. 



Pteronymia euritea Cr. (40 d). Larva on various Solaneae, of a pure green, with a yellow lateral stripe, 

 across the dorsum many black transverse lines. Pupa like that of Eplscada clausina (39 d), of a lustrous yel- 

 lowish green, across the dorsum silvery transverse spots with a golden lustre, sometimes there are brownish 

 markings exhibited; pupal stage lasting for about 10 days. 



Pteronymia sylvo Hbn. Larva above greyish-green wish dark, oblong transverse spots, ventrum yellow- 

 ish-white, dorsum and lateral line yellow; some specimens also exhibit out the dorsum darker transverse 

 markings. Pupa brownish, of a green lustre, with small metallic spots. On Solanum argenteum and allied plants. 



ftniiida. Ptcroii. futliida (S'c/(.s. Colouring and markings something like in P^ Zrmra (40 d), but very much larger, 



about the size of denticulnta (40 b), easily discernible also by the absence of the jet-black cell end spot of 

 the forewing which is distinct in laura; the transverse vein is only situate in a dark shade. Thereby the 

 species becomes similar to numerous other species flying at the same place, such as Callithomia. hydra Fldr., 

 Dircenna klngii-,^ (36 e) though more in its form chiriguensi-^ Hsch. etc. From Carillo in Costa Rica. 



gocJiiiani. Pterofl. godttiatli (S'c7(.s. According to W. Schaus the two figures of simplex Salv. 40 b are not the 



different sexes of one species, but the form figured as a (J with the narrow, comma-like bent cell-end 

 stripe is a different species and is therefore denominated godmani Schs. Common in Costa Rica at altitudes 

 of more than 3000 ft. 



Episcada clausina Hew. (39 d). The larva spins together some leaves of its food-jjlants (Solaneae) and 

 in this cover it also uses to pupate. In its adult stage it is 16 to 17 mm long, above greyish-green, laterally 

 tinted yellow; lateral stripe whitish, interrupted by small yellow spots; head blackish, dorsum with trans- 

 ver.se wrinkles. Larva sometimes with a blackish lateral band. Pupa green or red-brown with silvery wing- 

 cases. 



whiila. Episcada htjmeiiaea Prittiv. (39 e) ab. nebula Ferr. d'Alm. On the subcostal and beneath the lower 



cell-wall a rusty yellow longitudinal ray. — ab. stratonicis Ferr. d'Alm. The yellow ray below the costa is 

 present, but that below the median is absent. — Larva of liyinenaea (39 e) 22 to 24 mm long, above greenish- 

 grey with a white lateral stripe, which is interrupted by small yellowish spots, above it a blackish longitu- 

 dinal shade, the tran.sverse wrinkles dark green; on Solaneae. Pupal stage 10 days. The imagines fly in 

 Southern Brazil particularly in winter. 



{Rhadinoptera) umbraticola Ferr. d'Alm. Colouring and marking oi Heterosais nephele edessa Hew. (41 g), 

 but the clemi-band at the cell-end of the forewing wedge-shaped, the white spot behind it distinct, the mar- 



slratoitici.s.
