54 Dr. A. G. Butler on new Species of Butterflies. 



Catasticta sinapina, sp. n. 



3 . Resembles C. nimlice on the upper surface, excepting 

 that the central ochreous band is more distinctly divided by 

 the veins, the spots composing it on the primaries smaller ; 

 the postmedian series consists of larger spots, and the marginal 

 spots on the secondaries are larger ; the latter wings are more 

 elongated at anal angle ; the under surface is quite unique in 

 colouring, the ground-colour mustard-yellow, and the veins 

 and markings purplish brown ; the pattern corresponds almost 

 exactly with that on the under surface of C. susiana. 



Expanse of wings 56 millim. 



Pucartambo, Peru (Whitely). 



We purchased this insect in 1872, but at that time I was 

 not in a position to decide whether or no it was undescribed j 

 it should stand near C. susiana. 



Catasticta reducta, sp. n. 

 JZuterpe colla, Hewitson (not Doubleday), in Coll. Hewits. 



. Pattern of both surfaces as in G. anaitis, but this 

 species is much smaller and has all the markings of the upper 

 surface ochreous, irrorated with purplish brown ; the nervures 

 are much more broadly blackish; the secondaries have a 

 marginal series of small white spots : the macular bands on 

 the under surface of the primaries are clear ochreous, those 

 towards apex being more falciform. 



Expanse of wings 52 millim. 



Ecuador (Buckley). 



Local form boliviana. 



Differs from the typical form in having all the markings of 

 the upper surface clear ochreous, with scarcely a trace of dark 

 irroration. 



Expanse of wings 51-54 millim. 



Bolivia. 



The above species is represented in Hewitson's collection 

 by seven examples four from Ecuador and three from 

 Bolivia and incorrectly identified by him as Euterpe colla. 

 In the same drawer an example of Doubleday's species is 

 associated with a specimen of C. zande, and wrongly iden- 

 tified as (7. nimbice.
