rounded white postcellular spot. Beneath spotted the same, two thirds of the costal margin and the apex are 

 lUac-grey, as well as the hindwing in the costal-marginal part, behind the cell and at the distal margin, with 

 black veins; fringes of hindwing analwards and the abdomen beneath white. Guatemala to Bolivia. 



C. diores Ploiz (188 e) resembles the preceding above, but the hindwing is beneath marked just like diores. 

 above. South America ? 



C. phorcus Cr. (188 f) entirely resembles Vettius marpesia (189 d) above and beneath, but it is larger phorcm. 

 and distinguished by the absence of the scent-scale spot. Above the white band of the hindwing is longer and 

 extends almost to the proximal margin, and the fringes are in their whole extent yellowish-white, too. Surinam. 



C. ambrosei Weeks is above black with a white subapical dot of the forewing, below it there is a post- ambrosei. 

 discal row of 5 spots to the middle of the proximal margin; the two uppermost spots are very small, the next 

 is very large, the next small, and the lowest very small. Hindwing with a broad white band from the 

 middle of the proximal margin to the cell-end; the proximal margin is grey -haired. Beneath more brownish, 

 the spots closer together; on the hindwing the band being yellowish-white here extends from the middle of 

 the proximal margin in the same width to the apex. Expanse of wings: 1.1 inch. Venezuela (Suapure). 



C. richardi Weeks. Forewmg above dark brown ^^■ith 2 small, white subapical dots and 4 postdiscal richardi. 

 spots, of which that below the median is the largest, the two upper ones being small. Hindwing brown with a 

 whitish patch near the base. Beneath as above, forewing submedianly very much strewn with white; hindwing 

 dark brown, the basal area except the brown costal margin yellowish-white. Expanse of wings: 1.3 inch. Vene- 

 zuela (Suapure). It may perhaps be better to place it to Vettius (p. 981). 



C. jolus Cr. (188f). Above blackish-brown with 2 cellular spots 5 postdiscal and 2 subapical white jolus. 

 spots. Hindwing with a cellular spot and an oblong diffuse patch behind it. Beneath the apex of the forewing, 

 and the hindwing are golden yelloM', with chestnut-coloured veins, with the white spots of the upper surface 

 and golden \ellow .spots at the costal margin and subapically on the forewing. Surinam. 



C. bursa Heio. (188 f) is not dissimilar, but the hindwing above shows a large, round discal spot. Be- bursa. 

 neath the apex of the forewing is not yellow but black, but the inner-marginal part is broad whitish. Tlie yellow 

 hindiving shows a broad white longitudinal patch through the cell from the base to the distal margin, distally 

 dusted with a bluish grey as is also a wedge-shaped spot below it ; the cellalar spaces at the distal margin 

 are partly filled up by brownish wedge-shaped spots; the veins are not so red-brown. Brazil (Para). 



C. subviridis Plotz (188 g). It is questionable whether this large, beautiful species belongs hereto, subviridis. 

 Above jet-black with an oblique row of 4 postmedian, white spots, the lowest being very small, that above 

 it the largest, quadrangular; 2 subapical white dots; fringes of hindwings somewhat lighter, more grey. Beneath 

 the costal margin and the apical half of the forewing is of a deep green with fine yellowish veins. Tlie hind^-ing is 

 coloured the same, with a somewhat lighter postdiscal band and a blackish inner-marginal wedge. Sao Paulo. 



C. cynaxa Hew. (188 g) is above black, suffused with steel-blue, with a white, blue iridescent discal cynaxa. 

 band of the forewing. Beneath duller black, apex of the forewing and hindwing grey, especially the latter 

 thickly stre\\n with a yellowish-green and with black veins. Eyes red. Mexico to Panama. 



C. pieris sp. nov. (188 g). Above blackish-bro-mi with a broad, silvery white, semi-transparent discal pieris. 

 oblique band of the forewing composed of 3 spots, 2 small postdiscal ones behind them and 3 subapical 

 ones, the lowest of which is situate more toM'ards the margin. Beneath the apex of the fore-ning is reddish- 

 bro-R-n, the hindwing with deep chestnut-brown veins on a blackish-brown ground, with a very broad silvery 

 band of long, wedge-shaped spots, running through the cell and reaching neither to the costaJ margm nor to 

 the proximal margin. 1 ^ from the Rio Songo (Bolivia), type in the Coll. Fassl. 



C. ebusa Cr. (= psecas Cr., belistida Hew.) (188 g). Forewing blackish-brown, hindwmg almost ebusa. 

 entirely white, only the broad costal margin and distal margin brown. Beneath lighter, the apex steel-grey, 

 costal margin ferruginous brown, with some white postdiscal spots towards the apex. Hindwing white, veins 

 and a cellular spot chestnut-brown, the distal margin towards the apex irregularly marked chestnut-brown 

 and steel-grey; anal angle blackish-brown. Panama to the Amazon and Bolivia. 



C. antenora Ehrm., described as Pamphila, may presumably be ranged here. Above dark iHOAvn, antenora. 

 with a reniform hj^aline spot in the cell, a large, quadrangular one touching it beneath, abo/e it a triangular 

 one, its apex directed distally, above it more distallj^ a grey streak-spot. Beneath somewhat lighter, the fore^^ing 

 apically tinted lUac, marked the same. Hindwing entirely white with a pinkish-reddish lustre. Expanse of 

 wings: 42 mm. Venezuela (Suapure). 



C. marcus F. (= lyrcea Plotz) (188 g). Above black with a small white cellular spot, 3 postdiscal marcus. 

 spots and 2 subapical ones, hindwing with a broad, white transverse band which, being widened, almost reaches 

 to the proximal margin. Hindwing yellowish, in the disc more white with a brown longitudinal stripe above 

 the cell to the distal margin, a shorter one below it, and a large black anal spot. Brazil (Baliia, Para), Panama 

 to Guiana, and Trinidad. 



C. aurelius Plotz (188 h) is very much lilte marcus, the white discal spot of the hindwing extends aurethis. 

 to the anal angle; beneath the inner-marginal part is white, not blackish-brown. Nicaragua to Colombia, 

 Venezuela and Brazil.
