CALLIADES. By Dr. M. Draudt. 867 



The hindwinga exhibit a yellowish median spot and yellowish dusting outside in front of the distal transverse 

 band. Guiana, Colombia, Peru, Brazil. 



Th. orpheus Plotz (168 c) is very much distinguished by a dark blue submarginal band on all the orpheus. 

 wings, which is broader on the hindwing and here beneath dusted white; the forewing shows beneath a large, 

 white inner-marginal spot. Para. 



Th. erycina Plotz (168 a) has the forewing somewhat extended below the apex and on the hindwing erycina. 

 a prolonged and somewhat hook-shaped anal angle. The spots of the hyaline band are narrow, there may be 

 one or two small apical spots. Owing to the speckled white fringes, the border appears somewhat dentate. 

 Beneath the forewing is spotted somewhat rusty-red below the apex, the hindwing is strewn with lilac-grey 

 with 2 rows of black spots being distally more or less bordered with rusty-brown. Brazil, Colombia. 



Th. aulus Plotz (= fulviluna Mob.) (168 a) is above very similar, but it has red-brown fringes. au?i(.s. 

 Beneath the apex of the forewing is strewn with lilac and at the proximal angle there is a large, white spot 

 dusted with a rusty brown. The hindwing shows only a somewhat curved transverse band reaching neither 

 the costal margin nor proximal margin and being all round bordered with rusty red. Colombia, Brazil. 



Th. centrites Heto. is above quite black, only at the apex of the forewing there are 3 minute white cenirile.s. 

 hyaline spots, the oblique band is absent altogether; instead of it there is a black antemarginal band, and on 

 the hindwing a black cell-end streak and 1 or 2 spots near the proximal margin. Ecuador. 



Th. mithras Mab. The upper surface is coppery brown, on the forewing 2 postmedian, black, milhras. 

 dentate transverse lines, between which the ground is lighter, yellowish ; a similar yellowish spot is at the cell- 

 end. Hindwings unicolorous. Beneath blackish, the yellow markings clearer and also on the hindwings there 

 are 2 black, undulate transverse lines approaching each other at the proximal margin. Porto Cabello. 



Th. telegonoides Mob. <& Boull. is above dark brown with a somewhat indistinct, darker, post- idegonoi- 

 median transverse band. The hindwings have broad, yellow fringes. The thorax is metallic bluish-green. Beneath '^''*- 



the same, but the hindwing exhibits a broad, yellow marginal spot like in anafhus (167 a), but the anal angle 

 itself is brown. Colombia. 



Th. gallius Mab. (168 b) still more resembles anaphus above, but it is smaller and on the forewing gaUius. 

 it has very small white apical spots. The yellow anal angle of the hindwing is of a different shape and terminates 

 upwards in a fine point. On the under surface the band-marking is rather more indistinct, the yellow spot 

 more extensive. Colombia. 



Th. chrysorrhoea G. d; S. is similar, but above of a purer black, so that the band-markmg is chrysor- 

 scarcely prominent anymore; the small apical spots are absent, too. The hindwings are rounder, the yellow rhoca. 



spot narrower. Panama. 



Th. phalaecus G. ds S. also looks like a small anafhus (167 a), but it has 3 minute apical spots; phalaecus. 

 the hindwing is extended to a triangular apex. The under surface is blackish-grey with the same band-marking; 

 also the proximal angle of the forewing shows a yellowish spot. Described from Mexico. 



Th. sumadue Lef. is an entirely doubtful species which may also belong to TeUgonus. The short sumadue. 

 description runs: above and beneath brown with a yellowish macular band, larger spots in the middle, very 

 small ones at the apex. Forewing at the base more extensively green than the hindwing. Cuba. 



Th. capucinus Lef. Doubtful like sumadue. Wings jet-black, towards the base yellowish. Forewing capucbms. 

 of the (J with a small arcuate streak and beneath with an indistinct spot in the middle. The $ has 2 adjacent 

 yellow spots above and beneath. The hindwing is black at the base, beneath also at the proximal margin stre-mi 

 with red and grey atoms. Cuba. 



Th. zopyrus Plotz (= hydarnes Mab.) (168 a) greatly resembles Justus (168 e), but it has somewhat zopyrus. 

 rounder hindwings with speckled fringes and on the forewing 3 minute white apical spots. From Brazil. 



Th. bridgmani Weeks from Bolivia has remained unknown to us. hridf/mani 



17. Genus : Calliacles Mab. & Boull. 



It unites the characters of Cecropterus and Thymele. The ($ exhibits a costal fold. The hindwings are 

 long extended in the ^, more roundish in the ?.
