of the forewing is greyish-black, the basal half of the discal cell greyish-yellow, the apex of the wing yellow 

 like the hindwing; at the costal margin in the centre of the black area a white, long-extended spot, and between 

 this and the yellow discocellular spot a small blue stripe. Also similar to tryphena (102 A f), particularly 

 above, but the under surface has no blue markings and on the hindMing the distal black line is much less 

 dentate and stronger, and the centre shows 5 intense black dots. 



P. eminens Obth., on p. 498, was considered to be an aberration of oppelii; in the meantime it was 

 found out to be a distinct species and we therefore figure it (102 C b). The species occurs in Northern and 

 Central Pervi. 



P. lebasii Guer. The form figured 102 A g has been denominated by Embrik Strand pseudolebasi ; 

 the author presumes it to be a species different from lebasii. This would be correct, if — what is not pro- 

 ved — Hewitsox's figiure represents a tyiaical specimen. — Moreover, E. Strand established the aberration 

 of lebasii: derufata which he describes as follows: ,,The specimen before me differs from Hewitson's figure, 

 by the follo\\"ing marks; the band of the forewing is narrower (about 2 mm broad), on vein 2 narrowly inter- 

 rupted, and the anterior proximal angle is extended towards the basal longitudinal streak which, however, 

 it does not touch; on the hindwing beneath the red costal-marginal streak reaches to the distal transverse 

 line; the forewing beneath is not marked red, but the terminal half of the cell is blue and separated from 

 ~T:he greyish-whitish basal part merelj' by a small dark diffuse patch, the other blue markings of this under 

 surface being similar as in the figure cited, though less distmctly defined." Colombia. — dividens subsp. nov. 

 from Western Colombia (Rio Magdalena) has a very narrow magnificent band being broken up into single spots, 

 and a broad marginal band of the hindwing. 



P. diotinia zyxata Fruhst. ,,Peru, Pozzuzo. (J of a larger habitus and above with much larger, greenish- 

 blue intramedian spots than diotima (102 B a). Under surface darker, the neat red submarginal line of the 

 hindwing is brighter. — zurita Fruhst. Ecuador. An excellent form, recognizable by an ultracellular, sup- 

 plementary blue intramedian spot of the forewing which is united with the bluish-grey cellular streak. Under 

 surface: the red cellular spot of the fore'wing is smaller than in the Peruvian and Bolivian forms, sometimes 

 almost extinct, but invariably faded. Forewing besides characterized by another M-hite costal spot and two 

 greyish-brown bku"red intramedian maculae. — demata Fruhst. Ecuador, Macas. AMiilst zuzita most probably 

 originates from the Pacific part of the CordUleras of Ecuador, demata is a vicarious form from the Amazon 

 part of the Andes of Ecuador. It originates from the Rio UjDano, a som'ce of the Amazon. The blue spots 

 above as in zurita, but smaller, darker. The large cellular spot on the forewing beneath, however, again 

 very large, equalling that of zyxata FruJist. from Peru. The -nhite preapical spot still more prominent than in 

 zurita, the hind\^-ing above, however, with a blurred marking." 



P. cardases Hew. (102 Bb), according to Frtjhstorfer; is a species different from diotima (102 B a). 

 Ecuador. 



P. cecidas cecidina Fruhst. ,,Peru, Cuzco. It differs from cecidas Heic. (102 B a) from Ecuador by 

 larger blue intramedian spots of the forewing and an almost twice as broad light silvery grey instead of 

 blue distal margin of the hindwing." — yurapa Fruhst. ,,Perii, Pozzuzo. It differs from cecidas Hew. of Seitz' 

 figure (102 B a) and from cecidina by the presence of a bluish-green complementary spot beyond the cell of 

 the forewing, so that this species exhibits the same peculiarity as P. diotima from Peru." 



P. morona xynites Fruhst. ,,Peru, Pozzuzo. Much larger than morona Hew. (102 A d) from Bolivia, 

 the green longitudinal band of the forewing narrower, the grejash-blue marginal zone of the hindwing much 

 more extensive." 



P. euriclea plistia Fruhst. ,,Peru, Pozzuzo. q identical with euriclea Hew. var. (Exot. Butt. IV t. 17 

 f. 90, 91); and different from the figm-e Robee-Seitz (102 Ah) hy the green band of the forewing being parted 

 in plistia. The greenish border of the hindwing m plistia narrower than in euriclea from Colombia." 



P. hilara Salv. (102 C c) from Peru (Chanchamayo) is allied to cabirnia (102 A d, e). Above it dJffers 

 from it bj' the shape of the median band of the forewmg and the marginal band of the hindwing, as is to 

 be seen from the figures. Beneath the apex of the forewing is of a pure silvery white, in the black disc there 

 is a blue band broken up into minute spots, and on the hindwing the proximal line almost extends to the 

 proximal margin; between the two lines there are 4 black dots. 



P. clara sp. n. (102 C d) from Eastern Colombia (Upper Rio Negro, 800 m, A. H. Fassl) resembles 

 ijeba (102 A h). The upper sm-face exhibits at the end of the discal cell of the forewing a more strangulated 

 and narrower marginal band. The differences beneath are exhibited in the figm'e. 



P. marianna sp. (?) nov. (102 Cb) from Western Colombia deviates above from ilia (102 Ah) by 

 the absence of the submarginal spots of the forewing, a more complete median and a narrower marginal band 

 of the hindwing. The under sm-face shows the differences to be seen from the figures. 



P. cabirnia thryoessa Fruhst. ,,Peru, Chanchamayo, Pozzuzo. An excellent form; the gi-een basal 

 ray of the fore^^mg is not as in cabirnia Hew. (102 A d e) from Bolivia, united with the coherent and much 

 broader submarginal band. The light green zone of the hindwing consists of single, proximally pointed spots.
