C. texa-texotitania Strand. The author says: ,,A (^ from South East Peru to a certain degree forms tcxofUanin. 

 the transition from ('. tv.va Hew. to tiUtnia Salv. Above like te.va as it is figured in Seitz' worl^, except 

 the red basal area being in the costal iialf of tlie wing less far extended towards the apex, so that the costal 

 margin of the area is here only about 9 nun long, whereas in /e.ra-figure 101 B g in Seitz it is about 13 nnn 

 long; moreover, the red area is besides diminished by a black dorsal-marginal band almost touching the anal 

 angle. In the hindwing there are near the anal angle two minute, light blue sublimbal spots. — The under 

 surface agrees better with C. titania: but from the figure in Seitz it differs by the read area reaching the 

 anal angle and a light costal band of the forewing being only })rcsent in the ba.sal cpiarter and only linear, 

 whereas in the hindwing of my sjiecimeu the metallic markings are more bluish, the yellow sublimbal band 

 more distinct, the following yellow band distally not interrupted midway and being there almost contiguous 

 with the oblicpie median transverse band. — It is rather a form of texa than of titania, since the contoins 

 of the wings are lilce in te.va. Perhaps a distinct species." 



C. hydaspes aiaces FruJist. ,,^ above very closely allied to hydaspes delnias Fnthst. (p. 599) from (iiim\<i. 

 Paraguay. The red band of the forewing, however, is broader, the blue area of the hindwing .still more re- 

 duced. Under surface: the yellow prcapical band of the forewing broader than in hydaspes from Espiritu 

 Santo. The yellow parts of the hindwing still a little more extensive than in sjjecimens from Paraguay, the 

 black spots and bands accordingly reduced. The four pupils in the black median area of the hindwing predo- 

 minantly yellow instead of blue. Patria : Rio Grande do Sul, to the north distributed as far as Sao Paulo 

 in Brazil." 



C. pitheas pallescens Fruhsi. ,,The red sjjots on the hindAving above longer, the oblicpie band of the jxillf.scctis. 

 forewing narrower than in C. pitheas Latr. (102 A b), the 5^$ besides with a distinct, yellowish preajiical band 

 of the forewing, which is absent in pitheas from Colombia. The black ocelli of the hindwing as a rule smaller 

 than in pitheas. Patria: Venezuela." 



C. codomannus paulistanus Fruhsf. ,,o and $ very closely allied to selima Guen. (p. 494) from Minas imuiMom.'i. 

 Geraes, from which, however, it is at once discernible by the still more reduced red colour on the hindwing 

 above and the almost disapisearing reddish-yellow preapical .spot of the forewing. The under surface is more 

 different, e. g. the yellow preapical spot of the forewing is scarcely half as broad as in selima, the yellow sub- 

 marginal band of the liindA^'ing is reduced to about a third of the extent of selima, accordingly the black band 

 is widened and the cliscal spots are contiguous. Patria: Sao Paulo." 



C. lyca maroma Fruhst. ,,cJ differs from lyca as Doubleday and Seitz-Rober figure it (101 Be) iiiaroma. 

 by a longer, more uniformly broad and more conspicuous orange band on the forewing above. The blue reflec- 

 tion of the hindwing, however, is considerably reduced. The under surface is most similar to lyca aerias Godm. 

 (p. 598), . . . but the bluish-white i:)upils of the black discal area of the hindwing are larger. Patria: Colombia, 

 no exact habitat mentioned." — exultans Fruhst. , .Above most closely allied to aegina Fldr. (loi Be) from »■.l■»//(^(,^■. 

 Ecuador with a much broader orange band of the fijrewing and a more extensive blue reflection on the hindwing 

 above. The black submarginal band of the hindwing beneath narrower than in aegina, as Felder figures it. 

 Patria: Bolivia." 



C. eunomia triteia Fruhst. ..Distinguished from C. eunomia Hew. (101 Bh) from ,, Quito" by the irllela. 

 narrowed red area of the forewing being confined to a vertical band of a finger's breadth, since a black 

 basal zone advances as far as the middle of the cell. Patria: Ecuador, Hazienda Anna Maria, Querindo." 



C. pygas catharinensis Strand. On the hindwing beneath the black postmedian band which other- talltarinen- 

 wise exhibits blue median spots, is in the centre yellow like the groinid-colour, at the proximal margin at *'*' 



most very slightly bluish. — ab. sublinibalis Strd. in the hindwing above does not show any bluish-white sub- sublimbaU.'i 

 limbal spots, the length of the forewing is only 22 to 23 mm, and the light subapical marking of the fore- 

 wing is very much reduced. Santa Catharina. 



C. pyracmon Godt. E. Str.\nd, in dealing with a 4 of this species from an unknown habitat which 



he connects with the figure on taljle lOl B h having been done according to a 3", proposes the eventual name 



pyracmonides. The specimen the upper surface of which has been figured originates from Surinam. iii/racnioni-

C. zerynthia Burm. Of this species I have neither seen a specimen nor obtained a description: it is .nryii/liia. 

 presumably synonymous with another species: in Kirby's Catalogue of the Diurnal Lepidoptera and its Supple- 

 ment it is not mentioned. Mr. H. Stichel in a letter presumes it to be a subspecies of sorana.
