miiiiiae. Pedaliodes roraiinae Sird. Beneath similar to prosaio'M), but tlie ground-colour is darker, in the fore- 



wing almost black, in the hindwing very finely marbled with brown. Transverse band not so deeply dentated, 

 but more finely serrate-dentate than in pivsa. Exparrse of wings: 49 mm. Venezuela. 

 „i<iri(i. Ped. maria Schs. Above dark brown with a still darker marginal line. Beneath the .same, the lines dar- 



ker; in the cell a median arcuate line, behind it a line being undulate before the laroximal margin, somewhat 

 oblique to the costal margin. In the hindwing an antemedian line slightly indented at the proximal margin, 

 and a postmedian line being proximally bordered with dark red, behind which there are 3 black ocelli en- 

 circled by yellow and containing a white dot. — $ not c[uite so dark, the lines and 1 or 2 ocelli also above 

 visible, the postmedian line proximally shaded with dark red. Hindwing beneath with a small ocellus towards the 

 costal margin and yellow dots between the veins 4 and 6, the ocelli otherwise as in the cJ; J 43, $ 45 mm. — From 

 the Volcano Sa. Maria in Guatemala, taken at an altitude of 4500 ft. in April, July, October and November. 



Ervcinidae. 



To the ,, Additions" on p. 72(3 to 72S we add yet Eucorma sanarita ( 1 13 B e) which was in the mean- 

 time described by W. Schau.s, having been discovered in the Brazilian Province of Minasgeraes and figured 

 according to a specimen sent by Mr. Zikax. Under surface like above. 



To -ZyJ/rtiMrtA' </iya<en'rt we have to remark that Fassl took in copula with a tjrpical $ corresponding with 

 our figure 131 h a similar lepidopteron (113 Be) as was hitherto ranged with the genus Estemopsis as being 

 allied to inaria. 



Nymplialidae. 



Genus C^olaeiiis. 



Col. euckroia. The names of the fc")rms telesiphe Hew. (p. 400, line 7 from below) and tithraustes Salv. 

 (line 5 from below) have been mixed up with each other both in the text and the table belonging to it (84 d). 



Genus Melitaea. 



31. chain Edw. (88 f) Cockerell considers to be the eastern form of the subalpine or boreal minuta 

 which flies at nuich greater altitudes. 

 juirid. M. leanira fulvia Edir. forms a transition to wrightii; the hindwings are beneath whitish-yellow instead 



of tan-coloured. The form is mentioned by ("ockerell from New Mexico. 



Genus Phyciodes. 



dura. Ph. dora Sch-s. from Costa Rica entirely resembles levana (88 h) above, but on the hindwing a chain 



of ochreous rings extends between the ochreous-yellow median band and the margin. 



Ph. coda Drc. As the (J of this .species, the figure (91 c) and description (p. 444) of which seems 

 to represent a $, W. Schaus figures a lepidopteron from Costa Rica, almost all the specimens of which exactly 

 resemble the (J of se-stia (90 g) except the brownish-yellow transver.se band of the hindwing being a little 

 broader and of a more fiery colour. 



Ph. phlegias G. & S. The $ of this species, the o of which we have figured 99 b by the name of 

 platytaenia, is somewhat larger, the spots and bands are broader and bone-coloured, so that it approximately 

 resembles the upper surface of tulcis-'} (90c). 



Ph. metharmoides Fassl (102Ca as metharmeoides) from Teffe (Ega) on the Amazon River, is one of 

 the largest species of this genus. The under surface corresponds to the upper surface, but on the forewing 

 the colours are duller, and the hindwing shows a series of white maiginal spots. 



Ph. pseudocelemina Strd. in its shape and marking is very much like ithomoides (90 k); the marking of 

 the forewing is almo.st the same, but it is without the yellowish-brown inner-marginal stripe, whereas the 

 hindwing above is almost without markings. Colombia. 

 .s/(V/(/. Ph. sticta Schs. (192 h) is the exact image of Napeogenes hemisticta with which it flies together in Costa 



Rica. It approximates Ph. nigripennis (90 i), but it has the shape of the wings of sestiaetc. The distal half 

 of the forewing more intensely and abundantly spotted whiti.'^h, of the hindwing only the anal half is yellow. 



Genus ^essaea. 



furciiiia. Nessaea ubrinus faventia Fruhst. ,,^. Above on the forewing with a green oblic^ue band narrowed 



and rounded off both costalwards and analwards. The yellow area of the hindwing, however, is much more 

 extensive than in specimens from Surinam. Under surface much paler green with quite unnoticeable brown 

 loirgitudinal bands the distal (submarginal) one of which is altogether absent. Patria: Matto Grosso."
