894 CYCLOSAEMIA. By Di-. M. Deattdt. 



17. Genus: C^closaemia 3Iab. 



Scarcely to be separated from Kisoniades. The forewing is comparatively a little broader, the hiiidwing 

 still rounder, the terminal joint of the palpi longer. Quite a number of mostly rather similar forms. 



Tierctinius. C. herennius Cr. (174 g). Above deep blackish-brown, in the basal half almost black, at the cell- 



end with a large, black spot twice pupilled white, and behind it besides 2 black bands. Hindwing the same, though 

 without the cell-spot. Beiieath the fore-ning is lighter brown, at the proximal margin light brov^Tiish; the hind- 

 wing is bluish-grey with 3 black transverse bands, the proximal one of \^'hich bifurcates in the shape of a Y 

 near the costal margin. South America. 



caecus. C. caecus Plotz (174 g) is somewhat similar, discernible particularly by the non-pupilled discal spot 



on the forewing. The colour is a lighter, duller bro"\\Ti, the bands are narrower. Beneath the hindwing is lighter 

 lilac-grey, the bands pale brownish, the proximal one not forked. Patria unknown. 



morvus. C. morvus Plotz (174 g) is very much larger, it has only a singly pupilled cell-spot, only one ciurved 



band behind it, in which there are 3 white subapical dots below the costal margin; hindwing at the distal margin 

 somewhat lighter -^^-ith small darker spots in the spaces bet\^'een the veins. Beneath the proximal third of the 

 hmdwmg is bluish, at the proximal margin almost entirely white. BrazU. 



monoph- C. moHOphthalma Plotz (= trigonilla Schs.) (174 g) is smaller, above similar to morvus, but much 



thalma. Hgiiter brown; the singly pupUled cell-spot is situate in a yellowish ring; the subapical spots are absent. Beneath 

 the hindwing is monotonously light brown with 2 fine brown transverse bands, and in front of a marginal line 

 with a row of dark triangular spots. BrazU. 



pMdyle. C. phidyle G. & S. (174 g) like caecus, has a non-pupiLled black cell-spot, but it is much larger; 



the brown wings are lighter in the disc, 3 subapical dots in one line are encircled by black. The species is easily 

 recognized by the light reddish-yellow apical half of the forewing beneath, in -which the cell-spot is enthely 

 absent. It seems hitherto only to be known from Panama. 



myris. C. myris 3Iab. is just as large as 2)hidyle; the apex of the forewing is prolonged. Above reddish- 



brown, without apical dots, with an indistinct blackish postdiscal band, which is angled on the upper radial 

 vein and runs obliquely to the proximal margin; in the large black cell-spot there is a white dot, from where 

 a brown shade extends to the proximal margin. The hindAving shows traces of 2 darker postmedian nebulous 

 bands. Beneath monotonously yellowish-brown, the cell-spot indicated by reddish-brown, the bands are more 

 distinct than above. It is perhaps no Cyclosaemia. Described according to 1 $ from Sa. Catharina. 



anastomo- C. anastomosis Mah. (174 h) is a iriore common species, above brown with 2 darker transverse bands 



*^*- and the cell-spot encircled by yellowish, with 2 Avhite dots there in. Beneath lighter, the bands narrower, on 

 the hindwing spot-shaped ; the proximal margin of the hindwing is bluish-grey. Widely distributed from Mexico 

 to Brazil. 



Unoculus. C. binoculus Mschlr. (= carina Hew.) (174 h) differs by more spot-shaped transverse bands, the proximal 



one being only indicated on the forewing, the margin darkened. Beneath the bluish-grey colo'ur is absent at 

 the proximal margin of the hindwing, instead of which there is a large black spot at the anal angle. Para. 



gratiosa. C. gratiosa 3Iab. resembles binoculus. Forewing above yellowish brown with a broad, brown marginal 



band and a curved postdiscal band ; the cell-spot as m the two preceding enckcled by yellow with 2 white dots, 

 the basal area darker brown. Hmdwmg with 3 bent bands. Beneath light brown, the bands more distinct, 

 the forewing at the proximal margin light ash-grey. Hmdwing at the costal and distal margins light grey, from 

 the middle to the proximal angle bluish- white ; the bands on the brown ground distinctly defined, on the white 

 ground dying aAvay except the marginal band remainmg dark. Panama (Chu-iqui). 



jacohus. C. jacobus Plotz (174 h) differs by the cell-spot above exhibiting 3 white dots and bj' 3 subapical 



hyaline dots. Beneath the hindwmg is quite light blue with an irregular black border. From Rio. 



paullinus. C. paullinus Cr. (174 h) is above quite similar to gratiosa, but it has a white subapical dot; beneath 



the whitish parts are coloured ochreous reddish-yeUow. Guiana. 



metalKca. C. metalHca Mob. is easily recognized by the metallic green head and thorax; above coppery brown, 



the forewmg with 3 white subapical dots encircled by black; an antemarginal, a postdiscal and a discal brown 

 band, the two distal ones spotted, the proximal one extending to the proximal margin as the continuation 

 of the large, black, twice white-pupillecl cell-spot. The hindwing shows 3 bands of brown spots. The under 

 surface is light grey, almost white, the bands pale dirty broiAii. Guiana, BrazU. 



diophfhal- C. diophthalma Plotz (174 h) in its colom' and marking resembles rather much monophthalma, but 



the cell-spot itself is divided mto 2 separate spots beneath each other, and the antetermiiial maciUar band 



ma.
