366 ACTINOTE. By Dr. K. Jorpan. 
suppressed above, hindwing without distinct blue gloss. Underside of the hindwing and apex of the forewing 
in the ¢ striped with brownish orange, in the cell somewhat more grey, in the @ the stripes grey, the 
crange-red discal band of the forewing in the 9 not sharply defined distally. — East Bolivia. 
A. griseata Bilr. (Q 81 b, abdomen erroneously spetted with orange). This species flies in East Peru in 
places where callianira also occurs. $9: wings narrower than in callianira, the discal band of the forewing 
posteriorly not widened, distally more regularly notched at the veins, hindwing paler bluish grey. Both the 
markings on the forewing beneath scarcely paler than above, whilst in callianira the discal band is more 
or less yellow; underside of the hindwing densely striped with grey, with narrow dark distal margin; abdo- 
men beneath and laterally entirely black. — Central East Peru: Pozuzo, Cushi, etc. 8 
A. anaxo. 3: upper surface with the exception of the distal margin strongly glossy green- sine: 
forewing with orange-red discal band from the costal margin to the hinder angle, without orange or red 
basal area. Q not known. East Peru. — anaxo Hpffr. Under surface of the hindwing only in the basal 
third distinctly striped with yellowish grey. Chanchamayo. — comta Jord. (82d). Band of the forewing 
breader, underside of the hindwing and distal part of the forewing densely striped with yellowish grey, in 
anaxo the distal ?/s of the hindwing and the distal part cf the fcrewing almost pure black-brown. Callanga, 
province of Cuzco, South-East Peru, taken by GartEpp at 1500 m. 
A. hilaris Jord. (82a). 3: collar and breast with small orange or more grey spots, underside of the 
abdomen marked with orange. Upper surface much as in callianira, the discal band shorter and the hindwing 
less blue. The under surface quite different; the discal band of the forewing edged with white distally, hind- 
wing with broad white discal band, which is proximally bounded by a blackish line and posteriorly joins a 
large white patch occupying the basal and abdominal areas from the costal margin nearly to the anal angle; 
there remains thus in the basal 3/5 only a large triangular brown costal patch, of which the above-men- 
tioned fine line forms the continuation. © similar to the 3, paler, the proximal area above tinged with 
black at the base, the white cclour yellewish, less pure and conspicuous. In both sexes the lower angle of 
the cell of the forewing is more produced than in the allied species. — East Peru. 
A. amphilecta spec. nov. In Kast Ecuador occurs an Actinote which stands midway between A. diceus 
thespias and A. negra. 3 somewhat smaller than that of thespias, the basal area of the forewing paler orange, 
dentate on the veins, incurved between. Discal band coloured like the basal area or more yellow, varying 
in length and breadth, the band-like black interspace posteriorly more oblique than in thespias, sometimes 
broken up into spots in consequence of the greater extent of the orange colour. Hindwing with very faint 
blue gloss, from the base to just beyond the apex of the cell orange, this area strongly striped with black 
(in the type the cell almost entirely black), often only orange stripes present, which are placed between the 
cel] and the costal margin. Beneath the discal band of the forewing is yellow or orange, the basal area 
as above, a basal costal spot on both wings grey-yellow, the base and cell of the hindwing striped with 
yellow-grey, these stripes as well as the basal spots often distinctly tinged with orange-brown. 9 larger 
and paler, the discal band of the forewing yellow, proximally slightly orange, in the single example posteriorly 
joined to the proximal area; hindwing to beyond the apex of the cell orange, blurred, striped with black. 
Beneath paler, hindwing and distal part of the forewing striped with yellow-grey, cell of the hindwing al- 
most entirely yellow-grey, round its extremity a dark nebulous band, distal margin likewise blackish, on the 
dise yellow-grey stripes. Palpus in 3 and © laterally yellowish-scaled at the extreme base; abdomen beneath 
with three rows of washed-out yellowish spots; pronotum without spots. Hinder angle of the cell of the 
hindwing less produced than in thespias. —In the British Museum 7:3 and 1 9 from‘ East Ecuador: Gualaquiza 
(type), Canelos, Sa. Inez and Aguano. 
A. eresia. Recalls the thalia group in the great extension of the light colour on the upperside. 
S: upper surface pale ochre-yellow to red-orange, with black veins; on the forewing the distal margin, an 
oblique band distally to the end of the cell, a discocellular spot and a cell-spot black. Underside of the 
hindwing characteristic: at the base some small orange spots, in the middle a white band, proximally 
bounded by a black line which is angled at the apex of the cell. Q paler than the 3, the black markings 
more extended, the markings on the underside of the hindwing standing out less sharply. The two lower - 
radial veins of the hindwing close together and the lower angle of the cell strongly produced. Distributed 
from Colombia to Bolivia in several geographical races, only known from the east of these countries and rather 
rare in collections. — eresia Fidr. (82d). g: the veins of the forewing broadly edged with black, these 
stripes as thick as the discocellular streak. Ground-colour sometimes much paler than in our figure. 2 not 
known. East Cordillera of Colombia. — leptogramma Jord. (82c). Variable. 3: vein-stripes slender, disco- 
cellular stripe and black discal oblique band broad and usually united, the distal margin broadly black to 
the hinder angle; distal margin of the hindwing washed-out black. On the under surface the black discal 
line of the forewing extends to beyond the lower median vein. @ with the black more extended than in the 
3; basal area of the forewing and the hindwing entirely black, or again only the basal third and the distal 
margin of ‘the hindwing blackened. East Ecuador: Archidona and Batos at the Rio Pastaza. — eresina 
Hpjfr. (82.c). Paler than the preceding forms, the 2 sometimes pale straw-yellow, the black reduced, on the 
under surface the black discal line of the forewing only reaching to the upper median vein. The examples 
vary considerably in the tone of the ground-colour as well as in the extent of the markings. , Known to 
me from the Rio Palcazu and Rio Marcapata, from Cuzco and Carabaya; examples from Bolivia, the typical 
locality, I have not been able to compare.
