  pattern 
  alone 
  can 
  supply 
  evidence 
  they 
  certainly 
  belong 
  to 
  

   this 
  form. 
  It 
  has 
  been, 
  however, 
  pointed 
  out 
  on 
  p. 
  10 
  that 
  

   the 
  pattern 
  of 
  pdlenea 
  is 
  transitional 
  into 
  that 
  of 
  thalia 
  and 
  that 
  

   we 
  are 
  not 
  justified 
  in 
  considering 
  them 
  specifically 
  distinct 
  until 
  

   stronger 
  evidence 
  has 
  been 
  produced. 
  Burchell's 
  specimens 
  

   do, 
  however, 
  furnish 
  indications 
  of 
  the 
  local 
  development 
  of 
  a 
  

   pellenea-Yike 
  appearance 
  in 
  the 
  S. 
  Paulo 
  and 
  Cubatao 
  district. 
  

   Only 
  a 
  single 
  specimen 
  with 
  a 
  well-marked 
  rectangulated 
  

   band 
  on 
  the 
  hind 
  wing 
  upper 
  surface 
  was 
  taken 
  in 
  any 
  other 
  

   area, 
  viz. 
  1445, 
  from 
  Minas 
  Geraes. 
  The 
  most 
  peUenea-llke 
  

   males 
  are 
  1462 
  and 
  1463. 
  A 
  corresponding 
  female 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  

   found 
  in 
  1467 
  and, 
  allowing 
  for 
  its 
  worn 
  condition, 
  probably 
  

   in 
  1460 
  also. 
  This 
  character 
  is 
  exhibited, 
  but 
  in 
  a 
  less 
  

   degree, 
  by 
  1445 
  and 
  1465, 
  both 
  males, 
  and 
  slight 
  indica- 
  

   tions 
  of 
  it 
  appear 
  in 
  1461, 
  a 
  female, 
  and 
  1468, 
  a 
  male.

   This 
  specimen 
  is 
  exceptionally 
  dark, 
  and 
  all 
  the 
  yellow 
  

   markings 
  of 
  the 
  fore 
  wing 
  upper 
  surface 
  are 
  greatly 
  reduced, 
  

   the 
  basal 
  patch 
  and 
  the 
  spot 
  between 
  the 
  first 
  and 
  second 
  

   median 
  nervules 
  being 
  merely 
  represented 
  by 
  a 
  few 
  scattered 
  

   yellow 
  scales. 
  The 
  ferrugineous 
  ground-colour 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  

   wing 
  is 
  unusually 
  dark, 
  while 
  the 
  black 
  radiate 
  nervular 
  and 
  

   internervular 
  markings 
  are 
  exceptionally 
  developed, 
  thus 
  

   contributing 
  to 
  the 
  general 
  dusky 
  appearance 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  

   surface. 
  The 
  upper 
  surface 
  band 
  is 
  very 
  distinct, 
  but 
  compa- 
  

   ratively 
  narrow, 
  a 
  character 
  recognized 
  by 
  Westwood
