CALLIONA; CORACHIA; NYMPHIDIUM. By Dr. A. Seitz. 709 



E. borsippa Hew. from the Amazon is bright orange-red, almost miniate; the (^ has a blackish-brown borsippa. 

 apical part of the forewing and from the costa of the hindwing there extend the beginnings of black bands ending, 

 however, incompletely in the centre of the wing. The under surface exhibits bluish-grey bands alternating 

 with reddish-grey ones. 



E. charessa Stick, is established according to a ^J from the Rio Jurua. Small (12 mm); shape of the r-harpsm. 

 preceding, forewings red-brown, with black spots, similar to penthea; in front of the border a series of black, 

 oblong, small spots being proximally bordered in light. Inner marginal area grey as far as the sub median. 

 Hind wings white, costal area and apex greyish-brown, at the border a fine black line, and in front of it small 

 black spots. Unknown to me. 



E. borsippina Btl?-. A small species; only the $ known. On a dark-brown ground the forewings exhibit borsippina. 

 3 incomplete red-yellow macular bands before, in and behind the centre and a complete stripe before the border. 

 Hindwings light yellow, costal part and apex brown, in front of the border some small blak spots. From the 

 Rio Tapajoz. Is not before me. 



E. elpinice Godm. {^ 142 f, $ 138 g). As the ^ which was hitherto unknown and which I therefore elphiice. 

 likewise figure, shows, a real Echenais. Under surface quite similar to that of alector-^. $ with obtuser wings, 

 the ring-marking not so distinct. Bolivia, Colombia; the figured cj from the Rio Songo (Coll. Fassl). 



E. aemulius F. (= geris DM., hemixanthe Fldr.) (138 g). Similar to the preceding species, larger, fiemuUu.'^. 

 and recognizable by the broad orange distal band of the hindwings passing over to the anal angle of the fore- 

 wing. South Brazil. In Rio temporally common, but local (e. g. near Botafogo). — adelina Btlr. (138 g) from arMnui. 

 Costa Rica to Ecuador has the hindwings, except the base, pale yellow which colour extends far on to the 

 forewing. 



86. Genus: Callioiia Bat. 



This genus is as little separable from Lemonias as the preceding. Its resemblance with Aricoris accepted 

 by Butler only refers to the exterior. The ^^ do not resemble much the Lemonias owing to the large white 

 discal spots on both wings, but anatomically there is hardly any difference. The Calliona are of a still more 

 slender structure than most of the Lemonias, the palpi project greatly also in the (J, the antennae are scarcely 

 thickened. at the ends; the ^^ with white discal orbs, the $?, as far as is known, with a yellow oblique band 

 of the forewing. The butterflies are apparently very rare. 



C. irene Ww. (138 a). On each of the 4 black wings of the ^ a white, roundish disc, the basal part irene. 

 of the hindwings scarlet. Under surface greyish-brown with 4 white discs as above; in the basal part of the wings 

 dark transverse bands. The 9 looks entirely different, resembling somewhat Mese.ne sagaris-^ (131 i), but 

 the ground-colour is lighter brown and makes the same transverse streaks the ^ also has appear in a dull shade 

 Lower Amazon: Para, Humayta. 



C. siaka Heic. (138 a). ^ similar to irene, larger, hindwings along the costa red, along the border blue, siaka. 

 Beneath in the basal part of the hindwings scarce dark small spots. I do not know the $. From Maipm'es on 

 the Orinoco and Amazon. 



C. latona Heiv. (138 a). The ^ has the forewings similar to the preceding, but it is smaller and its Jatona. 

 hindwings have not a white, but a scarlet inner-marginal stripe. From the Amazon. — In delia Stick, the white delia. 

 disoal spot of the forewing is much smaller, the whole hindwing, except narrow margins, red and beneath there 

 are no dark transverse streaks. Known to me only from Stichel's figure and description; from Venezuela. 



87. Genus: Coracliia Schs. 



This genus was based on a single $ which greatly approximates some 2$ of Lemonias. It has, however, 

 a more strongly curved margin of the forewings and short, knobbed antennae. The upper median vein rises 

 close at the lower cell-angle, the lower radial comes out of this, the cell-end vein is proximally convex, some- 

 what oblique. The hindwings are long, almost as long as the forewings, whereby nearly the exterior of an 

 Indian Gerydus (AUotinus) is created. 



C. leucoplaga Schs. (= tablazonis Strd.). $ quite similar to the $ of Lemonias argenissa (137 i). but Icxcoplaga. 

 the white band of the forewing is broader with bulging margins and traverses the wing transversely, not obli- 

 quely. In the (J this band of the forewing is replaced by a faded, grey, costally parted discus-spot. Costa Rica, 

 certainly rare. 



88. Genus: ]M'yiMplii«liuiii i^. 



The uniformity of the veins argues against the branching-off of further genera such as Peplia Hbn.. 

 Nymula Bsd., etc. which have recently been again based upon differences in the palpi and the male exterior 

 genitals. If the well done figures in the ,, Genera Insectorum" are correct, I cannot find any essential difference 

 between the palpi of Peplia and Nymula, and the clasping-organs vary also considerably in different undoubted 

 Nympkidium. In the veins there is no differene. Some N ymphidium are obviously secondarily transformed
