After the third skinning the larvca sliows the same exterior. The adult larva (after the fourth skinning) is 

 50 to 55 mm long and exhibits a pink ground-colour turning lilac on the dorsum. The first four segments 

 are slightly covered with spine-like, small yellow tubercles on a greenish ground, arranged in longitudinal 

 rows, whereas on the other segments, particularly on the sides, they are but scanitly arranged, so that the 

 ground-colour is visible there in rectangular lustrous spots. The head exhibits a three-coloured demi-crown 

 of dingy green spines with yellow tips, the two middle ones which are the largest and singly forked. The dark frons 

 with two pink lateral stripes. Before the pupation the larva turns green. The young larva begins to feed on 

 the apex of the leaf which it prolongs by a web mixed with clods of dirt, which it only leaves during the first 

 two stages of skinning in order to feed. After the second skinning the larva makes itself a bag by rolling up 

 the edge of the leaf which is also on the inside clad with a web. The larva in day-time sits in the bag with 

 its head turned towards the opening and mostly only leaves it at night for feeding. The third and fourth 

 skinning takes place in the bag which is several times made larger on a new leaf. In spite of the bag the 

 larvae are sometimes infested with parasites (Tachinae, Microgaster). The worst enemies, however, are birds 

 which pick open the sides of the bags. The pupation takes place in a leaf being joined together, but mostly 

 not on the food-plant. The immovable pupa is short and compact, 18 mm long, 13 mm broad, green, with 

 a silvery white (sometimes orange-reddish) longitudinal line on both sides of the dorsal carina and such late- 

 ral oblique stripes as far as the proximal margins of the wings. The ventral side of the pupa is uni-coloured 

 green. The discoloration of the pupa takes place 6 to 8 days before the imago is yielded and shortly be- 

 fore it already shows the sex in the transparent marking of the wings. The pupal stage of the sunnner generation 

 lasts for 30clays (November to December), that of the spring generation hibernating as a pupa for 60 to 

 94 days (May to July-August, exceptionally to September). The generation of the hibernating pupa needs, 

 in order to develop well, dampness and cold temperature (sometimes as much as 5 degrees belew zero)." 



A. xenocrates Wir. $. ,,The $ is but slightly larger than the (^ of the species (1:20 Dd) and of rather 

 the same shape of wings, thus also without tails. All the steel-green .spots of the cJ are in the $ golden 

 ochreous, whereby the female assumes quite a different appearance. The finely watered under surface does 

 not exhibit, as in the (J, a slate-coloured greyish-blue, but ochreous-brown ground-colour. According to 

 several rather similar c?,^ from Teffe (Ega) and to the north of Manaos." (Fassl.) 



dciiKiciilaiii. A. xenocrates demaculata subsp. nov. was discovered by Fassl in August in Manicore (Amazon River). 



It is smaller than xenocrales typica (I20D(1), the blue spots of the forewing are reduced to 4 being scarcely 

 half the size of those in xenocrates, the marginal band of the hindwing consists of small isolated spots, and 

 the ground-colour beneath is lighter. 



A. 'porphyrio Bat. (119 a). We had subsequently also the $ figured (102 Ce). This species does not 

 only occur near Para (on p. 585 misprinted into ,,Peru"), but probably also on the whole Lower Amazon 

 River; it flies from July to September. 



Of ^. en6oto-f. (p. 585) wcfigurea $(102Cd) having been taken by Mr. A. H. Fassl near Manaos. 

 Perhaps it forms with porphyrio (119 a) and testacea (119 a) a single species occurring in various shapes. 



poIi/.vcna. A. polyxo polyxena subsp. nov., captured by A. H. Fassl in some (J(^ near Manicore on the Rio Ma- 



deira in August, is remarkably smaller than tjrpical polyxo (120 Dab), the markings are not verdigris, but 

 blue with a purple reflection and the marginal band of the hindwing is not sharply defined, but it graduallj^ 

 turns proximad, and only extends from the proximal angle to the anterior radial. 



iiHCfpfi. A. anceps sp. ■nov.'i (102 Ode). Mr. A. H. Fassl, in January 1922, captured some $$ of it near 



Manaos (Lower Amazon) and presumes them to belong to a species the (^ of which has not yet become 

 known. But it is neither impossible that they belong to a species from the glance-grou]), may-be felderi (119 d), 

 the under surface of which is similar to that of anceps. 



A. basilia Cr. (p. 589, 193 e). Of this species Mr. A. H. Fassl has discovered the $ near Maues 

 (102 Cf as basalts). The under surface is grey with blackish and whitish speckles, two white, black-pupilled 

 spots near the base of the tail-appendage, a black median stripe across both wings, which, however, neither 

 reaches to the costal margin of the forewing nor to the proximal margin of the hindwing, and black spots at 

 the costal margin of the forewing, particularly a large spot at the end of the discal cell. 



rrmmmi. A. Tosue caucana J. & T. from the Cauca Valley (West Colombia). ,, Forewing with rather small 



subapical spots, as they are reduced towards the base, and the bands correspondingly indistinct. Fringes of 

 a bright brown and slightly dusted with the same colour. Hindwing with traces of a bluish costal spot. 

 Distal margin of a bright brown, which colour gradually disajipears in the ground-colour. Under surface with 

 reduced white markings and the spot in cell 7 of the hindwing fainter." — Synonymous with laura (p. 590, 

 t. 120 Ad)? 



difirojiliom. A. discophora sp. nov. (102 C e) from Peru (Pozuzo) is remarkable by a large, very scantily scaled and 



therefore semi-transparent spot of the forewing occupying almost the whole distal half and only leaving free
