ATRYTONE. By Dr. M. Deaudt. 



the hindwing beneath tmted grey. Expanse of wdngs: 29 to 33 mm. British Guiana. Tlie larvae were fed on 

 sugar-cane. 



myron. A. myroH G. & S. (182 d) entirely? resembles the following helva, but the spots are more whitish- 



yellow, especially in the $ bone-coloured, the inner-marginal spot longer, the discal spot larger. Beneath the 

 lowest spot is much larger and dirty white. Mexico to Colombia and Bolivia. 



monica. A. monica Plotz (182 e) is allied to eulogius; above there are more yellow spots, the postdiscal spots 



thereby almost touch the subapical ones, also at the cell-end there is a large, bipartite, reddish-yellow spot, 

 and the submedian spot is twice as large, distally gnawed out. Beneath at the cell-end of the forewing there 

 is more black marking, on the hindwing the light postdiscal band is dying away towards the proximal margin, 

 the colour is not so reddish-yellow, more olive greyish yellowish. From Brazil (Blimienau). 

 helva. A. helva Machlr. (= sethos Mah.) (182 e) is above blackish-brown with 3 yellowish-red, postdiscal 



and 3 small subapical spots, as well as a lighter longitudinal streak at the cell-end; hindwing with 2 or 3 rather 

 indistinct small spots behind the cell and yellowish fringes. Beneath dull yellowish-red, strewn with grey, 

 the proximal half of the forewing black with the spots as above, but lighter ; hindwing with traces of a lighter 

 postdiscal macular band. The base of the costal margin of the hindwing is above densely haired black. Mexico, 

 Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Guiana, and Amazon. 



melane. A. melane Ediv. (=vitellina H.-Schdff.) (182e) looks like /lefoa, the yellowish-red spots are larger, the 



- disc of the hindwing behind the middle extensively reddish-yellow ; in the $ the spots of the forewing are bone- 

 coloured, the spots of the hindwing reddish-yellow. Beneath the hindwing is in the basal half densely strewn 

 with cinnamon-red, the postdiscal band more distinct and broader. California, Mexico, Guatemala, Costa 

 zachaeus. Rica and Panama. — f. zachaeus Plotz is a darker form from Surinam with above quite blackish-brown hind- 

 wings. 



Note: Mabille here mentions a forni ,,marmorosa". The citation added (Korr.-Bl. Zool. Mineral. Ver. Begensburg), 

 refers however to one of the Eudanms mentioned on p. 853, perhaps a form of Santiago (161 a). Mabille has certainly mixed 

 it up. 



gala. A. gala G. cfc S. (182 e).. Above as melane, but with 2 small spots in the cell of the forewing, the band 



of the hindwing being longer and inwardly curved towards the proximal margin. From Mexico. 

 monticola. A. itiotlticola G. ds S. (182 f) is easily recognizable by the sharply angled creamy white macular band 



of the hindwing on a deep cinnamon-red ground; forewing beneath with 2 or 3 roundish, orange postdiscal 

 spots and 3 white subapical dots, which are above yolk-coloured like the discal spots. It differs from the very 

 similar niveolimhus by dark fringes being on the hindwing very slightly speckled, and a dark costal margin. 

 Mexico, at an altitude of 8 to 10 000 ft. 

 niveolimhus. A. niveolimbus Mab. is easily discernible from monticola by the white costal margin and white fringes. 



The spots are not yolk-coloured, but more whitish hyaline. From Guatemala. 



ulphila. A. ulphila PL (182 f) is very closely allied to monticola and perhaps the same species. The yellow spots 



of the forewing are much larger and more numerous ; beneath the hindwing is lighter, the white band extends 

 with its tooth farther towards the margin and there is a cell-spot, the forewing exhibits near the proximal angle 

 a very large, yellowish spot. Mexico. 



lumida. A. lumida Mschlr. (182 f) is similarly marked. On the dark forewing the 2 central spots are whitish 



hyaline, the others yolk-coloured; near the apex there are below the 3 subapical spots farther towards the 

 margin 2 more small yellow spots. Hindwing without any markings. Beneath the forewing is as above; the 

 hindwing dark olive-grey with a faded, broad, light postmedian band. Colombia. Figured according to a $ 

 of Plotz. 

 augustus. A. augustus Plotz (182 f) is above not unlike gala and has a large, roundish, yellow spot in the 



cell-end; the postdiscal band of yellowish spots extends in a verj^ oblique direction right towards the apex; 

 the yellow macular band of the hindwing is long, towards the proximal margin inwardljr bent, the second spot 

 from above projects towards the margin. Beneath similarly marked as monticola, but the white band is darker, 

 the ground not cinnamon-red but greyish-brown. Brazil. 



iirqua. A. urqua Schs. is above olive-brown, with a fine black marginal line and grey fringes. The forewing 



only shows a small, roundish, white spot behind the lower cell-angle. Beneath lighter; here we see on the fore- 

 wing another small, subapical spot and a grey strigiform spot near the proximal angle; on the hindwing post- 

 discally a hardly lighter, bent band, aird a dark grey nebulous stripe along the proximal margin. Expanse 

 of wings: 27 mm. Castro, Parana. 



paranemi^. A. paranensis Schs. Above dark brown, lighter at the cell-end and with a light subapical streak. 



Hindwing with a black cell-end spot. Beneath the forewing is lighter brown, the apex grey, near the' proximal 

 angle a j^ellowish-grey nebulous spot ; scarcelj^ visible, small, lighter postdiscal spots in an oblique line. Hind- 

 wing light grey with a velvety black cell-spot and a similar spot below the lower median vein. Inner- marginal 

 part broad light brown, before the distal margin a dark line. Expanse of wings: 31 mm. Castro (Parana). 



brasina. A. brasina Schs. Above dark brown, hindwing haired olive yellow. On the forewing between the 



median veins a quadrangular, small hyaline spot, a smaller spot above it and 3 subcostal dots. Beneath lighter.
