1020 Additions: PIERIDAE. By J. Rober. 



purely -wliite markings in the shape of a large discal spot parted by the veins and an irregular submarginal 

 band being in the ^ but indistinct and consisting of dots and longitudinal streaks. The hind^ying shows the 

 very same fierj^ red marking as C. imcoecheae (22 f ), but the marginal triangles are particularly in the $ much 

 broader and distally bordered with snow-white. The under surface is very much like that of C. uricoecheae; 

 the white spot of the forewing shows through beneath ; the yellow radiary streaks are more incisive and some- 

 what longer. The insect flies in the forenoon in the sunshine on blossoming shrubs, especially on the extreme 

 tops, where it is difficult to capture. I often waited for days in these high and cold regions eternally hidden 

 in fogs for a glimpse of sunshine ; sometimes the morning was so cold that even at noon all was still covered 

 with frost in the shade, and I often had but quite short sunny moments during the day, immediately 

 followed by rain intermixed with sleet and snow." (Fassl). 



dentata. Cat. detitata L. & E. (194 d) from Southern Peru (Acopampa), at an altitude of 11500 ft., in Fe- 



bruary and March. According to the authors' opinions it is the Peruvian form of amastris (= niobe, 22 d). 



albofasciata. Cat. albofasciata L. cfc R. from Colombia (Maganja), 9000 ft., February. It entirely resembles above 



- 0^ figm'e (22 f ) signed with „urizoecheae" , but the dull grey-dusted spots in the discal area of the forewing 



are here almost purely white. 



seitzi. Cat. seitzi L. & R. (194 d) from West Colombia (Guabinas on the Rio Cauca), January. 



watlcbisi. Cat. watkinsi L. <f- R. from Southern Peru (Uruhuasi), 7000 ft., March, April. Almost exactly like 



seitzi, but the basal part of the hindwing, especially in the cell darkened with brown. 



distinota. Cat. distincta L. cfc R., Peru (Rio Colorado) 2500 ft. (La Merced), North East Peru (Huancabamba), 



August. Larger than the preceding, but otherwise above similar to them, the basal half of the wing darker, 

 the submarginal spots of the hindwing larger. Beneath the marking is more uniform, the ground lighter, the 

 brown postmedian band broader and more distinctly defined. 



leucophaea. Cat. leucophaea L. d; R. (194 d). Peru (Uruhuasi, 7000 feet), North East Peru (Huancabamba), 



3 to 10 000ft., March. 



lanceolata. Cat. lanceolata L. & R. (194 e). West Colombia (Torne in the Cauca Valley), August. 



minor. Cat. minor L. & R. Peru (San Ramon, 3000 ft., Rio Colorado, 2500 ft.), March, April. Very much 



like watkinsi and distincta, from the latter slightly different bj^ the gi'ound-colour above being more uniformly 

 grejdsh-brown, the base of the forewing not being so very sootj' blackish ; beneath the base of the forewing 

 is yellow, without the extensive blackish-brown dusting of distincta, and the brown postmedian band is narrower. 



subflava. Cat. subflava L. & R. (194 e). North East Peru (Huancabamba) 3 to 10 000 ft. 



-punctata. Cat. putictata L. (£• R. Southern Peru (Uruhuasi, 7000 ft., Cuzco), March, April. Above almost 



exactly like subflava (194 e),^but beneath the distal part of the wing is browner, especially the dark postmedian 

 band broader and less interrupted. 



aureomacu- Cat. aureomaculata L. & R. Southern Peru, 7000 ft., March, April. Above somewhat like suasa 



lata. (22 e), but the light parts more ochreous than sooty brown; beneath similar to phile (194 f), but the yellow 

 spot in the cell-end of the forewing much larger, the small spots of the median band in the hindwing smaller, 

 but whiter, the light, small marginal spots of the hindwing more distinct. 



sufjusa. Cat. suffusa L. & R. (194 f). North East Peru (Huancabamba), 3 to 10 000 ft. 



superba. Cat. superba L. cfc R. (194 f). Southern Peru (Uruhuasi), 7000 ft., February till May. 



similis. Cat. similis L.d: R. Southern Peru, 7000 ft., April, May. Above similar to subflava (194 e), but the 



hindwing beneath of a bright and pure yellow, reticulated with blackish-brown like in manco (194 c). 



intermedia. Cat. intermedia L. & R. ,,(J very similar to innuba Rob. (p. 70), but larger and lighter, the marking 



on the hmdwing beneath much yellower. Southern Peru (Uruhuasi), 7000 ft., March till May." An intermediate 

 form of innuba and pieris (22 a). 



sicprcma. Cat. suprema Fassl. $. ,,The largest of the red Catasticta-ioTms and probably allied to C. vulnerata 



(p. 73) being unkno^^■n to me. All the median bands, also those of the forewings, brownish -red and only near 

 the costal margin of the forewing turning somewhat orange. The submarginal dots of both wings and the small 

 marginal spots of the hindwing sulphur-colom'ed ; fringes narrow and white. Beneath similar to uricoecheae, 

 but the red of the forewing, especiallj' in the lower part, showing through; the yellow radiar}' streaks of the 

 hindwing beneath very narrow, almost hardly traceable. Body densely haired black. A single ^ from the 

 Quindiu Pass, Colombian Central Cordilleras, 3800 m, where it was drinking from the blossom of a lilac-like 

 shrub." 



susiana. Of Cat. susiana Hpff. (= collina Stgr. i. I., calanga Stgr. i. I.) (194 e) we reproduce the figure of the 



under surface. (Peru).
