black outer margin sharply defined. Both forms are marked on both sides alike, but the basal area of the fore- 
wings is slightly yellowish. 
Ph. celemina spec. nov. (90k), from Colombia, resembles Ithomia celemia. Underneath the hindwings 
with very large terminal spots. 
Ph. ithomoides Hew. (90k), from Colombia. The Q mimics Hirsutis hecalesina, but is much smaller, 
The under surface exactly corresponds to the upper side, but somewhat paler. The 3 is distinguished by the 
very narrow wings and the broad yellowish-brown longitudinal band on the hindwings. 
Ph. poecilina Bates, from Veragua closely resembles ithomoides (90k). 9 with broader wings, dark 
brown; forewings with an ochreous-yellow discocellular spot and a large number of similar spots beyond 
the cell arranged in rows: One row of 6 spots separated only by the dark nervules, from the costa at the 
middle, with 2 spots behind the median nervure; 2 parallel rows conforming to the termen, but not reaching 
the apex in which there only are 3 spots. Hindwings deep brown, in the middle and at the inner margin 
a large rounded blotch of orange, with a row of yellow submarginal spots and 3 others placed proximally to 
these near the outer angle. Underside like upper surface; hindwings with an orange spot at base of costa, but, 
aside from the submarginal row, without any yellow spots. Antennae pale ochreous, black at base. Abdomen 
yellowish-brown. 
Ph. alsina Hew. (90 k), from Nicaragua, differs from mimas Sigr. (92 c) in having the bands contiguous, 
broader and deeper yellow, also the terminal spots larger, occasionally broadly spread out and united with 
the first yellow band. Typical mimas 33 have the spots much smaller than would appear from the figure. The 
specimen which was figured on pl. 92. c as mimas, came presumably not from Rio Dagua, the home of the typi- 
cal form, but from some other part of Colombia. We name this form subfasciata subsp. nov. 
Ph. philyra Hew. (= ezorias Hew.) (92 c), from Mexico (and Santa Catharina ??) resembles in general 
certain Heliconius and Dione, all of which are protected species. Underneath as above, only somewhat paler. 
Ph. letitia Hew. (91a), from Ecuador and Colombia, has the general habitus of an Ithomiid, without, 
however, resembling any particular species. The markings of the underside are the same as those of the upper 
surface, but narrower, those at the termen of both wings yellowish-brown; the ground-colour lighter. — ocel- 
lata subsp. nov., from Peru (Chanchamayo), with deeper, nearly black markings above and the median band of 
the hindwings narrower, yellowish-white, not sharply defined distally. On the forewings the white submarginal 
spot at the inner angle enlarged, centred with black scales, like a regular ocellus. In the upper outer margin 
of the forewings some sharply defined white spots. The markings of the underside chestnut-brown, not fulvous 
as in letitia. — leucophaea Weym. (91 a), from Huancabamba, differs from ocellata in the paler ground-colour 
of the upper surface and the blurred markings. Also beneath the terminal markings are paler brown. 
Ph. lansdorfi Godt. (92a), from southern Brazil, closely resembles, especially beneath, Heliconius phyllis 
and besckei which fly in the same localities. Larva and Pupa do not deviate from the general type. — jacin- 
thica form. nov. (90k), from San Jacintho, has on the forewing the ferruginous area increased, with a broad, 
but short terminal band of ferruginous from the anal angle. 
Ph. acraeina Hew. (92f erroneously as amoenides) is the first in the series of species that mimic 
Acraea (Actinote). A 2° from Fassw’s collection is larger than the figured 3, with the base of forewings and the 
hindwings paler and the median band of the forewings more yellow, the yellow subapical marks reduced. The 
typical 2 form is the ¢g-like form figured by Dr. StaupryeER (Exot. Schmett. pl. 36). The aberrative form 
figured on pl. 91a, we name Q fa. aberrans. — A common form is hilarina form. nov. (92e as acraeina); 
forewings with shorter red median band and black hindwings. Very similar to Actinote hilaris (82 e). Peru, 
Colombia, Bolivia (2400 ft.). 
Ph. neria Hew., from Ecuador, is described by the author as follows: “Stands nearest acraeina. 3 
upper surface dark brown, forewings with a large triangular orange spot divided by the nervules, discocellular 
black. Under surface fulvous, veins and lines black, forewings with the basal spot as above, hindwings du- 
sted with yellow, base yellow and two red spots. — eritia Schaus, from Ecuador. Hindwings black, scaled 
with dark grey in the basal half; underneath the pale border seems to be absent since the author does not men- 
tion it. — microdryope form. nov. (92), from Colombia, is smaller, the red median band on the forewings 
different and the hindwings with reddish-brown lustre. Very similar to Helic. dryope (78 b), but much smaller. 
Ph. actinote Salv. (= acraea Hpffr.) (92f), from Peru, is distinguished by the narrow rusty-red terminal 
bands of the under surface. —limbata subsp. nov., from Bolivia has the markings of the upper surface paler ferrugi- 
nous, on the forewings the subapical spot smaller and narrower, and the ferrugous terminal band beneath very
