NEW SUBSPECIES OF CALIGO. 181 



Calif/0 teiicer subsp. semicaerulea, J, & K. 



Forewing as in typical teucer, except that the yellow transverse 

 band is more pronounced and the broad black marginal half more 

 opaque. Hindwing alone with the bluish green area not extending 

 much further than half way across the cell. The blue across the post 

 median area of the cell quickly changing to greenish, thence to base. 

 Marginal half opaque black. 



Habitat. — Central Peru, La Merced. 



Type in coll. Joicey, 



Caliijo teucer subsp. cachi, J. & K. 



Differs from iimws from Chiriqui in the forewing pale area being 

 considerably paler, and the blue reflection of the hindwing being less 

 intense. In size generally smaller, some males being even smaller 

 than male ineDinon. 



Habitat. — Costa Eica, Cachi, 3,000 ft. 



Type in coll. Joicey. ' 



Note. — The Calif/o telamonius figured in the Biologia Cent. Am., 

 by Godman and Salvin, as coming from Calobri, Panama, is equal to 

 menes, Stich., but is rather an undersized specimen for that region. 



Calif/o teucer subsp. ecuadora, J. & K. 



Like C. teucer subsp. semicaerulea from South-East Peru, but paler 

 in the forewing and with the blue basal colouring less intense, and 

 more overlaid basally with greyish green. 



Forewing in basal area, below the median vein, pale slaty-grey. 

 Outer marginal area pale, well defined, and lighter than in 

 semicaerulea. 



Habitat. — Ecuador. No more precise locality, but it is most 

 likely Eastern and not Western. 



Type in coll. Kaye. 



Caliyo eurilochuii subsp. delectans, J. & K. 



Forewing very transparent light greyish with the post-median pale 

 light creamy-yellow band merged in the ground colour towards the 

 base. The mottling on the underside showing through over the greater 

 part of the wing area, even in the broad black marginal band. Hind- 

 wing with a broad black marginal band, slightly shot with bluish 

 purple, the base greenish merging into deep violet blue. Underside of 

 forewing below brownish-grey, very finely mottled with slender white 

 striae, including the outer half of the inner margin. Inner margin 

 near base with a greenish area. In the inner half of cell is a mottled 

 pattern with two brownish areas. Two subapical black spots with 

 small white ciescent-shaped marks behind. A well defined eye mark 

 between veins 5 and 6, and a black spot between veins 2 and 3. Under- 

 side of hindwing below brownish-grey, not blackish-grey, otherwise 

 very like C, eurilochus subsp. minor. Eye spots near costa and below 

 cell not markedly enclosed within a dark area. No white transverse 

 streak in cell from vein 7. Two ^ s. 



Habitat.— Venezuela, Patao Guiria (August, 1891). 



Type in coll. Rothschild. Co-type in coll. Joicey. 



This curious race of eurilockui,, if it is really a form of eurilochus 

 and not a distinct species, is remarkable in being so different from the
