NOVITATBS ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 315 



I have 2 c? c? and 2 $ $ from Maranham, and 2 <? c? from Rio Demerara. 



Larva similar to s. sophorae, but ground-colour much suffused with brownish 

 yellow, and the bands are dark chocolate brown. 



Described from larvae sent by J. Steinbach from Tucuman and by F. Schimpf 

 from San Bernardino, Paraguay. 



Brassolis astyra astyra Godt. 

 (PI. VI. f. 8) 



Larva similar to B. sophorae, but thicker, much more suffused with dirty 

 yellow, and the bands broken up into spots, while innumerable narrow dark trans- 

 verse lines encircle the body from the head to anal segment. 



Figured and described from two larvae from Rio. 



Brassolis astyra rufescens subsp. nov. 



? . Very large and the oblique band of forewing as wide as in ? a. maritima 

 Stieb., but rusty orange scarlet, not rusty orange. 



Hab, Peru, 1 ? , Huancabamba, Oerro de Pasco (C. Böttger). 



Brassolis isthmia Bates and granadensis Stich. 



I caDnot see anything more than two subspecies in these two — a northern and 

 a southern subspecies of one species. 



Brassolis isthmia boliviana subsp. nov. 



<? ?. Larger thau either isthmia isthmia Bates or isthmia granadensis Stich. ; 

 differs above in the S in the oblique baud being much darker, orange rufous as 

 in the ? , and between veins 2 and 3 it is strongly produced ; in the ¥ the black 

 discocellular band is much larger than in either of the other forms. Below it is 

 paler in both sexes. 



Length of forewing ; c? 46 mm., ? 62 mm. Expanse: <? 101 mm., ? 133 mm. 



Hab. Bolivia, 1 S, Buenavista, E. Bolivia, 750 m. = 2437 ft., August 1906 — ■ 

 April 1907; 1 2, Prov. Sara, Sta Cruz de la Sierra, April— May 1904 (J. 

 Steinbach). 



DISCOFHORIDAE 



These insects, in my opinion, bear the same relationship to the Amathusiidae 

 as the Morphidae do to the Brassolidae. 



Enispe euthymius intermedia subsp. nov. 



This race is exactly intermediate between e. euthymius and e. durania, having 

 the dark bands and spots more developed than the former, but not so much as 

 in the latter. 



Hab. Burma to the Malay Peninsula and Siam, 3 <$<$, Bernadmayo and North 

 Chin Hills, Tavoy (Bingham) ; 5 SS, Perak ; 1 <?, Paughir, Shan States, 3000 ft,
