312 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



reaching from costa nearly to tornus ; three white spots, of which the third is largest 

 just before apex ; a large black spot representing ocellus of underside just beyond 

 oblique band. Hindwing without any markings, but two large patches of black 

 androconia. Beneath rufous yellow, strongly vermicnlated with black and grey ; 

 the position of ocelli and other pattern best seen from figure. 



Length of forewing : 54 mm: Expanse : 114-5 mm. 



Hab. Rio Dourango, N.W. Ecuador, 1 3, 350 ft., June 1901 (Flemming and 

 Miketta). 



Opsiphanes berecynthia buenavistae snbsp. nov. 



S ? . Above much like the subspecies b. berecynthina Hopf. ; but curved orange 

 band of forewing narrower and more angled. Below duller and greyer. 



Hab. Bolivia, 6 3<$, 3 ? ?, Buenavista, E. Bolivia, 750 m. = 2437 ft., August 

 1896— April 1897 (J. Steinbach), (type S); 1 ? Salampioni, 800 m. = 2600 ft. 

 (Simons); 1 <$ , San Ernesto, 1000 m. = 3250 ft., September 1900 (Simons); 1 S, 

 Mapiri District, 1895; 1 <?, Sta Cruz de la Sierra, 1905-1906; 1 S, Prov. Sara, 

 February 1904 (J. Steinbach). 



Opsiphanes josephus excisus subsp. nov. 



S. Differs above from ;'. josephus in the wider band and less falcate wing ; this 

 orange band is much more excised on the inner side than in either j. josephus or 

 j. excultus. 



?. Similar to <?, but much larger, and has a rather broad orange margin to 

 the hindwing above vein 4 ; the band on the forewing is so excised and reduced 

 that it resembles a picture of a flash of forked lightning. Below both sexes are 

 paler than in either of the other subspecies. I believe this is the first recorded S 

 of 'josephus. 



Hab. Colombia Coast Eegiou, 1 S , 1 ? , Rio Dagua (W. Rosenberg). 



Caligo 

 Here there are numerous remarks to make. 



Caligo teucer Linn. 



Herr Stichel has wrongly united minor Kaye with his t. insulanus, which 

 has caused Fruhstorfer to rename minor as eurylochus phryasus. 



Caligo ilioneus pampeiro Frühst. 

 (PI. V. f. 1) 



Larva long, cylindrical, tapering sharply to both ends, brownish wood yellow 

 tinged with pink, with a median dorsal very sharply defined black-brown line, and 

 two lateral ones less straight, much less sharp, and paler, more greyish ; in between 

 these three lines numerous cloudy and indistinct greyish streaks and lines ; the 

 head huffish, with two black-brown bands on each side ; tail-forks moderate ; whole 

 body, head, and tail covered with short huffish hairs ; on median line four or five 

 short fleshy points. 



Food plant : banana. 



Described and figured from several larvae sent by F. Schimpf, 



Sau Bernadino, Paraguay.
