316 NOVITATES ZOOLOGICAE XXIII. 1916. 



MORFHIDAE 



Here I have much to say, bat in many cases the facts are so difficult to work 

 out that I must leave some of my remarks for a future paper. 



Morpho perseus richardus Frühst. 

 (PI. VI. f. 1) 



Larva sing-like, narrowing rapidly towards head, thickly clothed with very 

 short hair, and with rows of hair tufts along the back and sides, deep red with 

 small black and yellowish buff patches. 



Described and figured from a larva from Minas Geraes. 



Morpho perseus iphiclus Feld. 

 (PL VI. f. 3 larva, f. 4 pupa) 



I am unable to see any difference between Colombian p. iphiclus (type Felder 

 coll.) and the series collected on the Caura River by S. M. Klages. 



Larva deep red with irregular cream-coloured bands. 



Pupa with two short points on head bright grass-green. 



Described and figured from larvae and pupae sent by S. M. Klages, Maripa, 

 Caura River. 



Morpho patroclus phokylides Frühst. s 

 (PI. VI. f. 2) 



Larva orange buffy yellow, strigillated and streaked with deep red ; on third, 

 sixth, and seventh segments twin golden yellow patches edged with deep red, and 

 on the fourth, fifth, seventh, and eighth segments is a large single golden yellow 

 patch, also edged with red ; tufts of hair pale crimson. 



Figured and described from two beautifully preserved larvae sent by 

 J. Steinbach, Buenavista, E. Bolivia, August 1906— April 1907. 



Morpho sulkowskyi ockendeni subsp. nov. 



3. Differs from all other forms in the hindwing between costa and vein 3 being 

 enormously produced. 



? . Differs from all other forms in the dark outer band-like margin of fore- 

 wing being red as on the hindwing, not black or dark brown. 



Hab. S.E. Peru, Carabaya (G. Ockenden). 



Morpho aurora interposita subsp. nov. 



3. Intermediate in colour between aurora and aureola, and still larger than 

 aurora. 



?. Larger, paler, more the colour of Morpho portis, a large brown patch 

 followed by a white on upper discocellulars, reaching far in and also beyond cell of 

 forewing ; marginal black-brown border twice as wide as in 3, and containing 

 two pinkish lines. Hindwing : outer fourth pinkish cinnamon brown with two 

 irregular dark brown bands coalescing at nervures. Below as in 3, but paler, and 

 with a strong greenish opalescent wash. 



Ilab. S.E. Peru, La Oroya, Iuambari, and Santo Domingo, Carabaya, 28 33, 

 1 ?, 3100-4500 ft., 1901-1905 (G. Ockenden).
