black submarginal spots coherent with the black margin in the anterior part ; under surface somewhat lighter, 

 hindwing with black cucullate spots at the distal margin on a yellow ground and a black dentate median band. 

 Colombia. Lathy dk Rosenberg denote Fblder's figure to be extraordinarily marred, and put stress upon 

 the great resemblance of this species with troezenides (22 d) and positively assert both the siibspecies to be 

 one and the same species. 



Cat. zande FIdr. (p. 73 as synonym to cora) has, according to the material of the British and ParLs zande. 

 Museums, been recognized by Lathy <£■ Rosenberg (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1911, p. 521) to be synonj^mous 

 with cora Luc. and paradoxa (22 d) likewise synonymous with this species. The said authors state that cora 

 has hitherto not been correctly identified by anybody, what is due to the insufficient description. But as our 

 figure of paradoxa corresponds with the description of cora Luc, it has to be regarded as the typical one, and 

 the name cora has to be cancelled and replaced by the name paradoxa the description of which is accompanied 

 by a correct figiure. 



Cat. manco Dbl. has likewise been mistaken hitherto. Lathy <Ss Rosenberg have described and manco.

Cat. ochracea Bat., according to Lathy cfc Rosenberg, is the Guatemala-form of nimbice (22 b); ochrncca. 

 we could not obtain any specimens of it; it is presumably little different. 



Cat. amastris Heto. is said to be the $ of niobe (22 d); amastris is unknown to us. amasiris. 



Cat. apaturina (22 f ). Lathy cfc Rosenberg remark that the specimen figured by us does not correspond 



with the type (in the British Museum), because the latter exhibits a white band of the hindwing, and that 



it apparently corresponds more with truncata having been described by the said authors. Our specimen originates 



from Ecuador, the habitat of the apaturina Btlr., truncata, however, from Venezuela. In our specimen the 



band of the hindwing is still darker yellow than in our figure, but still lighter than in the figure of truncata; 



the under s\trf ace of ovtr specimen differs considerably from that of truncata : whilst the f orewing does not show 



great differences beside its darker ground-colouring, the hindwing exhibits both in the distal and basal areas 



a light bluish shine and at the costal margin a white stripe which is only in the middle narrowly interrupted 



by black, and at the end of the discal cell there are 2 yellow dots. In case this specimen should belong to 



a separate species, it may be denominated: xanthotaenia. xanthotae- 



nia.

triangles on both wings; beneath still lighter, especially in the hindAving. The insect makes the impression of 



a G. manco (194 c) having tiurned entirely orange, but all the dark parts, also the base of the wing, the cell and 



the black-tinted veins are much less dusted dark. The $ presumably belonging to it is very much lilie that 



of manco, but all the marginal wedge-shaped spots are more pointed and those of the forewing more distinct, 



and the whole ground-colour is of a purer white, too." Monte Tolima in the Colombian Central Cordilleras at 



an altitude of 3200 m. 



Cat. soccorensis Fassl. ,,Size, colouring and marking above very much like that of C. semiramis (22 d); soccoremis. 

 but the yellowish-white oblique band passing through the middle of the hindwing is almost entirely absent. 

 The costal margin of the forewing is still more indented ; the hindwings are more sharply dentate. Quite different 

 is the under surface which recalls the most that of C. niobe (22 d) but is still more distinctly marked. The 

 yellow radiary rays thereby become much more distinct, so that they are, just like the median oblique band 

 of the hindwing, situate on a bluish-grey ground (not light yellow as in niobe). The dense hairing of the 

 head, thorax, and bases of the wings is of a lustrous black and much darker than in niobe. This new, 

 charming Cafasticta is a decidedly alpine insect of which I only captured a single specimen on the summit of 

 Mount Socorro in the Colombian Western Cordilleras, at an altitude of almost 4000 m, where it was drinking 

 in the company of the red C. tricolor in a snug, picturesque gorge at the bank of an icj brook. It probably 

 represents the C. niobe of Peru and Bolivia in Colombia."

 like Archonias pharnakia Fruhst. (21 c), but beneath it has the typical marking of Cat. modesta." Colombian

Cat. apollinari Fassl ^ ,,is a form of modesta, in which all the markings above are whitish-grey, not apoUhmri. 

 oUve-yellow as in the type. It forms the transition between modesta and troezene (p. 105) and probably replaces 

 these forms on the eastern slope of the Colombian Eastern Cordilleras; whilst farther to the south in Peru and 

 Bolivia the modesta-ioTms are replaced by the still whiter, thus certainlj^ closety allied C. Jiebra (22 d).'' Rio
