the forewings the base is blue instead of red. — equatorialis Guen. (= bonplandii Hew., var. bourcieri equatorialis. 
Bilr.) from Colombia and Ecuador are small specimens with narrowed blue band of the hindwings and dar- 
kened under surface of the hindwings. — lineata Bilr. from Peru differs from equatorialis by the two black 
lines of the under surface of the hindwings being more remote from each other. — rubrobasalis Rb/. essentially 
differs from the typical form by the red basal colouring of the discocellular on the under surface of the fore- 
wings, while on the under surface the hindwings and the apical part of the forewings are also of a more dark- 
brownish colour. Ecuador, 650 m. — parabomplandii *) Dogn. differs merely by the shape of the black lines on 
the under surface of the hindwings. The outer line is very much curved, thus partly approaching the inner line, 
which is also more curved than in normal specimens. Colombia (Popayan). — mola Dogn. from Ecuador (El 
Monje, Loja, Zamora) has a narrower band of the forewings, which is parted in the discocellular and does not 
reach the costal margin; the band of the hindwings is narrower, too. Under surface of the forewings as in 
@orbigny?, that of the hindwings greyish-white, the outer line rounded and regular, the inner line slightly cur- 
ved; 5 black dots; the red margin of the costal margin inclines to leaping over the first line and reappearing 
behind the second line. 
P. picteti Gwen. This species of which we have no specimen at hand, has been described as follows: 
Shape and exterior like bonplandii. Above the same marking, but the forewings have two deep-blue rays 
starting from the wing-base and following the two main veins. A round white subapical spot. Under surface 
of the forewings black with white basal area followed by a broad pink-red transversal space which is effaced, 
in the cell stronger coloured and at the margins sky-blue. Then comes a white costal spot and below it a row 
of irregular spots, the first being green, the others deep cobalt-blue. Behind the apex a streak, likewise blue. 
Under surface of the hindwings silky greyish-white with 2 fine black lines, one of which is central and very 
much curved, the other, parallel to the margin, being serrate-dentate and bordered by small red dust-grains 
in the first half of the line. Apex margined by a fine carmine line from the base to the second line. Peru. 
P. morona Hew. (102 Ad) from Peru and Bolivia resembles above a small bonplandiw, but is quite 
different beneath; conspicuous is the red middle-line of the hindwings. 
P. priene Hpffr. (102 Ad) from Peru seems to be a common species. — boliviana subsp. nov. from 
Bolivia has above a broader, more coherent band of the forewings with a bright golden gloss; the red space 
of the under surface of the forewings is larger, and the ground-colour of the hindwings browner, while it is 
all grey in aenea subsp. nov. from Colombia whereby the black dots stand out in bold relief. In this form the 
golden-green median band of the upper surface of the forewings is more sharply demarcated and the greyish-blue 
band of the hindwings narrower. 
P. cabirnia Hew. (102 A de as cabirina) from Peru and Bolivia, differs above from bonplandw by a 
metallic band and basal ray, but still more beneath by lines proceeding in red, on silver-grey ground. 
P. cotyora Hew. (102 Ae) from Bolivia has quite a different under surface, both the wings without red. 
With humboldtii Guér. (102 A e) from Venezuela, Colombia and Peru commences the series of species 
haying a yellow under surface of the hindwings. — rhodoptera Bélr. above and on the under surface of the hind- 
wings resembles humboldtii, on the under surface of the forewings, however, comnena (102 A f). — divergens 
Bilr. from Ecuador, has a larger red basal area on the under surface of the forewings. — ouma Dogn. Hind- 
wings with a narrower blue band being nearer also to the wing-margin, on the under surface of the hindwings 
instead of the red spot a small blue spot. Ecuador (Loja). 
P. tringa Guen. The author has described this species as follows: very closely connected with hwmboldtii 
of which it might be merely a local form. The shape of the hindwings, however, very different, being rounded 
instead of prolonged at the anal angle. The upper surface differs little, but the under surface of the forewings 
has an entirely carmine disk except the basal area, the yellow colour remains. By this arrangement the black 
colour is confined to a plain band, while, in humboldtiz, it covers almost the whole wing. Peru. 
P. lucrezia Hew. (102 Ae) from Colombia resembles above ewriclea (102 Ah), but has yellow under 
surface of the hindwings with a dentate black submarginal line, a black curved median line, 5 black dots and 
several small red stripes before the distal margin. The basal part of the forewings is red, the apex of the 
wings yellow with a black and ared line, from the middle of the costal margin a black band runs to the 
inner angle. 
P. goeringi Dru. (102 Ae) from Venezuela has no green band of the forewings, but at the end of the 
discocellular a green spot, a small green apical spot and in the posterior part of the discocellular a green 
streak to which another smaller spot is distally attached. On the distal margin of the hindwings we notice 
some green moon-spots. The under surface of the forewings is black, only the basal part of the discocellular 
and the apex of the wings are yellow. The under surface of the hindwings is ochre-yellow with 2 dentate black
