grey underneath. — Only known to me from the original description. According to BurteR a local form of 
pelops. 
Ph. fasciata Hpffr. (= pearcei Druce) (89 f), from Peru, is distinguished by the broad yellow band on 
the upper surface of the hindwings. The forewings are yellowish brown, with a rich network of black lines. 
Hindwings with blackish-fuscous base and termen, the latter enclosing 2 yellow lines. Underside yellow, 
with faint yellowish markings. — fasciatella subsp. nov. from Huancabamba (1500 m) has the median band 
narrower and on the hindwings only one yellow terminal line. 
Ph. theona Mén. (89 g), from the southern States of North America, Mexico, Honduras and Nicaragua 
resembles above Melitaea, but differs underneath in the regular, sharply defined bands. — perlula Fldr. 
(= hondana Weym.) (89 g), from Venezuela has the markings quite indistinct above, and underneath the brown 
subbasal band of the hindwings reduced to a large spot. The forewings lack underneath the black median 
marks. — yorita Reak. (89 g), from Honduras, is intermediate between theona and perlula. — ezra Hew. (89 g) 
has the pale, often quite white spots on the upper surface of the forewings produced and the reddish brown 
bands on the underside less brillant. Chiriqui (Panama). 
Ph. cyneas Godm. a. Salv. (89 g, h), from Arizona. Ground-colovr above yellowish-brown to blackish- 
erey, with 2 rows of light spots greatly varying in size. 2 of a lovely fulvous tint, with the outer band of 
pale spots bordered with black on the outside. Under surface of forewings fulvous, with pale, black-margined 
spots; hindwings whitish-yellow, the black nervules, the deep black termen and double black median band 
forming a sharp contrast. 
Ph. cynisca Godm. a. Salv. (88 h), from Mexico, is closely allied to cyneas. Upper surface without any 
ferruginous spots on the hindwings, the yellow band enclosing the apex of the cell much broader, forewings 
with rufous spots at base and along termen underneath. 
Ph. taeniata spec. nov. (89h) from Tarapoto resembles on the upper surface of the forewings ursula, 
differing, however, in the heavy markings of the hindwings above. Underside yellowish, feebly marked with 
pale fuscous, from which on the forewings the blackish-brown double band, in the middle confluent, placed - 
near the termen, stands forth very clearly. 
Ph. teletusa Godt. (89 h), from Brazil, has brownish-yellow markings on blackish-brown ground, namely 
a large spot in the outer half of the forewings reaching the inner margin, a subapical band divided by a dark streak, 
a minute spot at the apex of the middle cell and a few small apical dots on the forewings, on the hindwings 
a median band, tapering towards the inner margin, and a submarginal band composed of fine lunules. The 
colour of the under surface is yellowish, with brownish, resp. greyish-black markings, strongly contrasting with 
a submarginal row of ocelli appearing on the hindwings. — peruana subsp. nov. (89h), from Peru, has the 
brownish-yellow markings of the upper surface greatly enlarged, the underside, however, much more monoto- 
nous. — In boliviana subsp. nov., from Bolivia, the pale markings are, especially on the hindwings, greatly 
reduced, and the under surface is more heavily marked than in peruwana. 
Ph. burchelli Moulton has a very wide range, since it is found, according to its author, in the pro- 
vince of Goyaz, in Chapala, South Brazil, Peru, Ecuador and in Nauta on the Upper Amazon. From the very 
lengthy description it appears to resemble teletusa; the broad yellow median band on the forewings has about 
the same shape, the forewing has at the termen between submedian and third median 3 yellow spots, and the 
yellow band displays on its outer extremity some lunules of the ground-colour, both on the fore and hindwings. 
Ph. poltis Godm. a. Salv. (88 i), from Mexico, comes closest to orthia from Brazil and Paraguay. 
Ph. orthia Hew. (89 h) resembles velica, but has the forewings more elongate and all the light markings 
of the upperside much narrower. Also beneath it is like velica; possibly both belong to one and the same spe- 
cies. Some specimens have the pale markings almost white, with all detail obliterated: = ab. evanescens n. 
Ph. berenice Fldr. (89 i), from Peru, advertised by SraupINcER under the name of telemachus 1. 1., 
greatly resembles orthia, but differmg in the presence on the hindwing of a yellow submarginal line, very 
distinct especially in Q, in addition to the submarginal row of lunules. Underside much more yellowish, but 
hardly differing from orthia in the markings. 
Ph. sejona Schaus (89 i), from southern Brazil (f. i. St. Catharina and Rio grande do Sul), is much 
lighter coloured than orthia, from which it also deviates in the markings 
Ph. velica Hew , habitat unknown, has, judging from the figure supplied by the author, the brown 
spots.on the upper surface much larger, being therefore much lighter than dictynna subsp. nov. (89k) from
