Jlab. Brazil, Parana (?). 



This locality is more than questionable. Topical markii 

 occurs at Ega, on the Upper Amazon, and it is even possible 

 the present species may be an aberration of it. Hewitson's 

 locality for markii is New Grenada, but as he figures both 

 davisi and markii under the same name, his locality probably 

 refers to the davisi, which is a Colombian species. His fig. 2 

 on pi. i., Callithea in Ex. Butt., agrees with what is known 

 from the Ega district of the Amazon. 

 Type in Cull. Joicey.

Velamysta pardalis totumbra, subsp. n. 



$ . Fore wing like pardalis pardalis, except that there are 

 no blackish marks in disc and the S-shaped black discoidal 

 mark is much less pronounced. Inner margin less heavily 

 black. Hind wing ochre-brownish as in fore wing, without 

 discoidal patch and no trace of a black band thence to inner 

 margin. 



$ . Both fore and hind wing ochre-brownish. Fore wing 

 with all the black markings less than in pardalis pardalis. 

 Hind wing with a small black mark along discoceilular within 

 the cell. No black band connecting the inner margin. 



Expanse 74 mm.

Type in Coil. Joicey. 



Haensch, in Seitz. vol. v. p. 158, says of pardalis : — " In 

 the <j> the hind wing is of the same brownish colour as the 

 fore wing." This is incorrect, as in both pardalis pardalis 

 and pardalis totumbra the sexes are alike as to colour; par- 

 dalis has white hind wings and totumbra brownish.
