446 PHYCIODES. By J. Roszr. 
brown one on the inside is increased by another one separated from the former by a white line, and the 
apex is adorned by large spots of mother-of-pearl. Ecuador and Colombia. — encina Fldr., likewise from Ecua- 
dor and Peru (Chanchamayo) is somewhat larger and darker above, with pale yellow markings. On the fore- 
wings the middle submarginal spot produced distally in the shape of a comb. Underneath the colouring is 
more brillant, the apex of the forewings, as well as the light coloured portions of the hindwings bright 
silvery white. — intermedia form. nov. (92 g erroneously marked polina), from Bolivia, is intermediate bet- 
ween the two preceding forms, both in colouring and size. On the under surface the apex of the forewings less 
brightly silvered than in encina, the hindwings with large, pale yellow, indistinctly defined spots on silvery 
white ground. 
Ph. clio L. (92h) is found from Central America to Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. @ with broader, 
more rounded wings than 3. 
Ph. laias Godm. (90 g), from West Colombia (Rio Aguaca Valley, 6000 ft.) (1 g in Fasst’s collection) 
Upper surface blackish-brown, with yellowish brown markings. Underneath it resembles perna (92g), but the 
hindwings with 4 black stripes and 2 silvery white semi-bands. 
Ph. perna Hew. (92 2), from Rio de Janeiro, has in both sexes, especially the g¢, the wings very long and 
narrow. — alma Stgr. is distinguished by larger spots. Sa. Catharina. 
Ph. sestia Hew. (90 ¢, h) from Ecuador. ‘ 
wish-brown = saturata Roeb. (90h). 
@) 
varies very much, from pale straw-yellow (type) to yello- 
Ph. nauplia Z. (92 h), from Surinam, is smaller than clara Bates (92 h), of Central America and Venezuela 
which has, moreover, the white spots and bands larger. Bares treated clara as a separate species. — plagiata 
form. nov., from southern Peru (upper Madre de Dios, 1500—3000 ft., A. H. Fassi), has the white markings 
broader, and lacks the posterior black band in the subapical spot on the forewings. Underneath marked as above, 
but the dark portions are heavier and deeper black. 
Ph. eranites Hew. (92 c, d erroneously spelled evanides), from Chiriqui and Colombia. ¢ differs from 9 
(pl. 92 c) in having the markings of the under surface reduced, especially the white lunules at the termen of the 
hindwings only just indicated. The 2 varies much in colouring as well as in the markings. — mejicana 
subsp. nov., from Mexico (Presidio) is less black above, underneath more yellow. 
Ph. bella Ky. (= mylitta Hew.) (881i), from Ecuador has a close resemblance to Hueides aliphera 
(80 a), being, however, somewhat smaller, with black inner margin of the forewings and on the hindwings, be- 
sides the black border, a similar subterminal band, with the intervening space corresponding to the ground- 
colour. 
Ph. casiphia Hew., from Ecuador, is larger than bella, otherwise resembling it closely, but with a small 
white apical spot. Forewings black, with a red-brown band at the inner margin, asimilar median and a so- 
mewhat lighter subapical band, the two latter dissected by the veins. Under surface rather paler, with a 
submarginalrow of white spots on both wings. 
Ph. carme Dbl. a. Hew. (92 d), from Venezuela (San Esteban) differs from oblita Stgr. (92 d) in the brigh- 
ter colouring and sharper markings. Under surface nearly sulphur-yellow, marked as the upper surface, but 
with a row of yellow spots at the outer margin of the hindwings, and the middle one of the yellow terminal 
spots on the forewings reaching the termen. 
Ph. aveyrona Bates (92d as aveyrana), from Surinam, Venezuela and the Amazon, has straw-yellow 
underside marked as above. 
Ph. emerantia Hew. (92 d), from Colombia, bears a general superficial resemblance to certain Hueides. 
Underneath the white apical markings broader, and the hindwings are adorned with a series of large yellow 
terminal spots. Q not known. 
The species now follow resemble Hueides. 
Ph. eunice Hb. (92 a), from southern Brazil (Sao Paolo, Rio de Janeiro), greatly resembles Hueides 
isabella, but is smaller. Underside like the upper surface. — esora Hew. is said to differ from ewnice in having 
the black median band on the under surface replaced by a row of black spots. In consideration of the variable 
nature of ewnice, we cannot accept this slight difference as sufficient to base a new form upon. — pella Hew., 
from the Amazon, cannot, however, be taken as synonymous with ewnice, as KtrBy proposed. Forewings with 
a large yellow apical spot and with the yellow median band tapering anteriorly, on the hindwings the black me- 
dian band broken up into spots, and the black border is divided by a nearly 1 mm wide band of ferruginous. 
Ph. pelonia Hew. (Q=ithomiola Salv.) (92b), from Ecuador and Peru, differs from ewnice in the absence
