908 CAACPTOPLEUKA; CYCLOGYPHA. By Dr. M. Drattot. 



than the others. Forewiiig beneath blackish, margmal area lighter, ferrugmous-reddish, especially at the proximal 



margin. Hindwing in the posterior haK light ferruginous-brow^l, the black bands hardly visible. Bolivia. 

 lachesis. E. lachesis Schs. looks like osyris (177 a) and is above separated by a small hyaline spot in the upper 



angle of the black cell-spot and a subapical hyaline spot. Beneath the yellovv of the hind^ving extends in 2 



antemarginal rows of spots to the costal margin, and the proximal angle of the forewing also shows 2 yellow 



spots. Mexico (Tabasco). 

 ecliptica. E. ecHptica Btlr. (177 b) is extremely similar to the precedmg, the proximal half of the forewing 



is much more monotonous in the colouring, darker, without the violet tish-grey dusting. The posterior tibiae 



are -nithout the hair-pencil which is present in the two preceding. Mexico to the Amazon. 

 Claudia. E. claudia Plotz (176 i) is above very similar to undulatus, easily discernible by the hindwing beneath 



iriseriaia. being coloured bluish-grey in the larger anal haK. Venezuela. — triseriata Plotz (176 i) is presumably only 



a form of it with a still more extensive and more violettish whitish anal part of the hind'O'ing beneath, so that 



there are 3 transverse bands in it ; the forewing is also somewhat whitish at the apex and proximal angle. 



Venezuela. 

 chacona. E. chacona Plotz (177 b) from Panama is very closely allied to claudia, but much smaller. The 



upper surface shows much more faded band-marking, the hindwing beneath is in the anal half of the distal 



margin only narrowly bluish-grey, so that only one transverse band is in it. 

 eremiia. E. ereoiita Plotz (177 b) is larger, above dusted lavender-grey, with distinct, coherent macular 



bands, in the cell there is only one shortened spot. The hindwing beneath is almost quite whitish bluish-grey, 



only the costal-marginal part is narroA^'ly grejish-brown. South America. 

 impressa. E. ittipressa Mab. (177 c) is blackish, without any violet tints. Forewing at the base and apex lighter, 



in the discal area darker. Hindwmg almost uni-coloared with 2 indistinct darker transverse bands. Beneath 



lighter brown. Palpi beloM- grey. From Panama to Bolivia. 



43. Genus: Camptopleiira Mab. 



The palpal apex is obtuser than in the preceding genus. The forewing shows a costal fold in the end 

 of -which the costal margin forms an obtuse angle; the broad hindwing is regularly roimded, otherwise all agrees 

 with Ehrietas. 



theramenes. C. theramenes Mab. (= auxo Mschlr.) (177 c) is dark brown, with deep violettish-black bands 



and watered in the same colour. The under surface is lighter with 2 dentate darker bands near the distal margin. 

 The proximal margin is somewhat lighter. Mexico to South Brazil. 

 ebemts. C. ebenus 3Iab. in its size and colouring resembles Brachycorine areas {Drury), but it is still blacker, 



forewing scantily strewn Tiith small grey scales behind and below the cell. Beneath unmarked, only at the 

 margin somewhat lighter. By the angled costal margin it belongs here. From Bolivia. 

 ipMci-aies. C. Iphicratcs Mab. has very broad -ndngs; blackish-bro^^Ti, strewn with a greyish blue, the undulate 



lines reddish black. Hindwmg more reddish ochreous-brown, broadly margined dark, with 2 blackish-brown 

 marginal bands. On the under surface all the lines are light reddish-brown, in the disc almost whitish, unmarked, 

 ^^ith a darkened apex of the forewing ; hindwing reddish-brown with a narrowly darkened distal margin. Very 

 closely allied to thrasybulus, but constantly differing. From Cayenne and Brazil. 

 tcrmon. C. termon Hpffr. (= strigiilosa Stgr.i. 1.) is liltewise very closely allied to thrasybulus (177 c), but 



differing by the marking and coloiu-ing. Above more ochreous-grey, the costal and distal margins red-brown 

 \^•ith 3 red-bro-wn, spotted undulate lines, at the border greyish-blue with a sagittally spotted marginal band 

 strewn with blue. Hindwing still lighter grej/ish-ochreous, distal margin and 2 undulate bands dark brown. 

 Beneath the forewing is whitish-ochreous, the costai margin of the forewing, 2 confluent marginal bands, hind- 

 wing with 2 costal-marginal spots and apex darker. Length of forewings: 19 mm. Peru (Chanchamayo). 

 iisias. C. tisias G. cfc S. (177 c) looks verj' much like C. thrasybulus; the markings are more regularly 



linear, not so faded, the ground-colour is of a more uniform tint. Costa Rica, Panama to the Amazon. 



cataphanes. C. cataphanes 2Iab. is smaller than ^/ieramewes (177 c) and most closely allied to te'mow; the violettish 



bluish-black markhigs are finer, more distinct, towards the base they disappear more under the lavender-grey 

 dusting which co\'ers the costal-marginal part and basal part as well as the body. Beneath blackish, the proximal 

 angle of the forewing whitish in the $, at the costal margin there is a very distiact, black macular band; hindwing 

 in the ^ in the anal half light red-brown, in the 2 as far as the middle of the cell whitish with 2 black bands 

 and 2 cell-spots. Fringes black. Sa. Catharina. 



44. Genus: Cyclogj'pha Hhn. 



Very closely allied to the preceding genus and distinguished by a stronger antennal club, longer termmal 

 joiiit of the palpus, and a more pointed apex of the foi'ewing. The costal margui of the hindwing is strongly 

 angled behind the proximal third, and shows a long hair-pencU at the rise of tlie costal.
