PuU. IS. 111.1924. Additions: PIERIDAE. By J. Rober. 1017 



Of Perrhybris lorena Hew. (20 f ) A. H. Fassl captured a neuter on the bank of the Rio Estanzuelo 

 (East Colombia, near the small town of Villavicencio). The female (right) half differs from typical $$ by the 

 median band being yellow in the distal half and by the subapical band being dusted with red ; the red median 

 band of the hindwing shows an admixtiu-e of yellow scales. 



P. pyrrha F. (p. 64), according to Btjrmester, also occurs in Argentina (MLssiones). Presumably 

 one of the southern forms is meant by it. 



Pereute sivainsoni $ form, albosignata iVie;p. The description runs as follows: the transverse band of albosignafa. 

 the forewing above and beneath of a pure white, basal spots of hindwing beneath white, the costal-marginal spot, 

 being otherwise yellow, is here also white and basally shortened. Length of forewings: 32 mm. BrazU (Sao 

 Joao).

 black in both sexes; the hindwing above shows 3 small red discal spots and the under surface beside these 7 

 yeUow marginal spots. — regillus Fruhst. (p. 67) has been withdrawn again by its author. 



Charojiias eurytele aurantiaca Fruhst. ,, Smaller than eurytele Hew. (21 e), the spot at the cell-apex and aurantiaca.

 not stated, but presumably from the Pacific part of the Andes."

 spot at the end of the forewing above and beneath, and sometimes a faint blackish hue at the distal margin 

 of the forewing above. 



Cathaemia hirlanda planasia Fruhst. ,,^: forewing above white with a very broad, black subapical band planasia. 

 extending along the apex of the cell. Hindwing above slightly light yellow. Forewing beneath of a pm'e white 

 with a yellow cell and a darker yellow subapical spot. Hindwing light orange with a reddish-orange, complete 

 submarginal band being on both sides only narrowly bordered with a greyish black. The black discal band 

 without a basally emanating region as in hirlanda, praeclara etc. Patria: Matto Grosso, Cuyaba." — minturna mintuma. 

 Fruhst. „cJ$ with broader black subapical bands of the forewing than specimens from the Amazon, Colombia 

 and Peru. Hindwing beneath yellow with very pale submarginal bands posteriorly dying away, but which 

 in the $ turn orange. Patria: Venezuela." — posidonia i^rwAsi. ,,The darkest specimen of the Coll. Staudisgee posidonia. 

 is from Colombia and differs from hirlanda and its forms by the much broader black distal margin on all the 

 wings and an especially broad reddish-yellow, complete submarginal band of the hindwdng beneath proxunally 

 broadly margined with black. The median and postdiscal areas of a magnificent yellow. Patria: Colombia, 

 Putomajo." 



Leodonta batzebina subsp. nov. has on the forewing above light yellow, on the hindwing dark yellow hatzebina. 

 colouring; the marking is about the same as in dysoni (21 e), but the submarginal spots are smaller; also the 

 hindwing beneath has much yellow marking. Colombia (Muzo). 



Catasticta rubricata Weym., described from West Colombia (Cauca Valley), seems to be the same ruhricata. 

 species as Archonias pharnakia (21 e), since it merely differs by a slight increase of the marking especially on 

 the hindwing beneath. It is a matter of opinion to place this species to Catasticta or Archonias; in its exterior 

 pharnakia agrees better with Archonias than with Catasticta. The name rubricata seems to have the priority. 



Cat. hegemon G. & S. The description says: ,, Similar to sisamnus, but the band of the forewing hegemon. 

 is broader and the margin of the hindwing much more extensive. $ similar to the q, .scarcely colom-ed yellow. 

 V/e have specimens of both sexes and it can scarcely be doubtful that the species differs from sisamnus. N"ot 

 only the discal spots of both wings are larger, but those in the hindwing also flow together with the trans- 

 verse band. Thereby the distal margin is much narrower and its proximal border very irregular, almost serrate. 

 $ quite similar to the ^, but as much as our specimens exhibit, the cellular band is white and not yellow as 

 in most of the $$ of the other species. Patria: Costa Rica, Panama, Veragua, Chiriqui, Colombia, Ecua- 

 dor." hegemon is not known to me from autopsy, but it seems to me that albescens nx)V. (194 b) from West albescens. 

 Colombia (Rio Agua, 2000 m, A. H. Fassl) represents a local form of this species; the discal spots of the fore- 

 wing are smaller, and there are not 3, but 2, the dark border of the hindwing being more reduced; I cannot 

 tell in v/hat way the under surface differs. — It is doubtful whether helle nov. (194 b) from West Colombia lielle. 

 (Cauca Valley) belongs to this species or is a different species. • — chiricana 7iov. (194 b) well agrees with helle chiricana.

Cat. argolis sp. nov. (194 b), as the figures show, differs rather much from pitana (22 c). Before argolis.

 dant white marking. Peru (Pancartambo, S. Rosa) and ,, Colombia".
