CALLICORE. By J. RésErR. 501 
45. Genus: Callieore Abn. 
The species of this genus are distributed from Mexico to Argentina, one species has also been occasionally 
observed in the south of North America; their chief habitat is in the mountains. They have most characteristic 
features: velvety black upper surface with golden-green bands and very light, mostly white under surface of the 
hindwings with peculiar circular markings, owing to which the little animals have been denominated ,,88**. 
All the subcostal veins arise only after the end of the discocellular, the eyes are densely haired and the forelegs 
are very slender, not broadened in the g¢. 
According to W. MULiEeR the shape and depositing of the egg is in C. meridionalis the same as in Mys- 
celia orsis. The larva lives on Trema micrantha Dell. The two lateral, little diverging horns on the head of the 
fully grown-up larva are very long and slender and have short strong accessory spines each of them forming 4 
rosettes; the other spines are like in Wyscelia orsis; the body is anteriorly slightly, posteriorly more reduced 
in width; the head is green, the horns are brownish-grey with lighter bands, the back of the horns and the spines 
turned backwards are preponderantly greenish, the little warts are white, the yellow subdorsal stripe dis- 
appears shortly before turning into a pupa. Pupa similar to that of Myscelia orsis, above velvety-green, 
beneath pale green, a white and brown stripe running along the wing-margin being continued behind, beneath 
the stigmata; in the place of the lateral spines there are distinct white dots, smaller ones being less distinct 
in the place of the little verrucae. Influenced by the light, it performs movements like Myscelia orsis (cf. p. 482). 
The name Caillicore is to be used for the genus Catagramma if we interpret strictly the rules of priority; 
we, therefore, propose the synonymous name Corecalla for the present genus. 
C. clymena Cr. (102 Be) occurs in South America (to the south as far as Paraguay), but also in the 
southern parts of North America. — peruviana Gwen. from Peru and Bolivia has somewhat narrower blue bands 
on the forewings, whereas the blue band on the hindwings is a little broader. — bisosto Gwen. occurring in 
Guatemala is much smaller; wings less rounded. — We figure (102 B c) a remarkable aberration with respect to 
the under surface, having been taken by Mr. A. H. Fassu. — Belongs to the more common species. 
C. janeira Fldr. (102 B c) from South Brazil has the distal-marginal band of the hindwings only indi- 
cated. The ground-colouring of the under surface is darker and the black marking finer than in clymene. 
C. meridionalis Bates (102 Bc) from South Brazil has only in the 9 marks of the blue band of the 
hindwings. The black markings of the under surface are stronger and the distal bordering of the black sub- 
apical band of the forewings is distally projecting in the shape of a tooth. 
C. anna Guér. (= phytas Bsd.) (102 Bc) from Mexico is characterized by an almost snow-white under 
surface with fine black markings. The 2 has only a somewhat broader blue band of the hindwings. 
C. marchalii Guér. (102 Bd) from Colombia and Venezuela differs from all the species by the dark 
brownish ground-colouring of the under surface. 
C. merida Honr. (102 Bd) from the mountains of Venezuela (Merida) is very similar to the following 
species, though it has a broader and longitudinally parted blue band of the hindwings. 
C. panthalis Honr. (102 B d) from Venezuela resembles above lidwina (102 B e), beneath ewcledes (102 Be). 
C. consobrina Guér. Unknown to us. According to GunNgE the green band is rather broad, the under 
surface dirty-yellow, the ,,eights‘‘ are in touch with each other and border on the third line. The forewings 
very much narrowed and with but one single black dot. 
C. phlogea Salv. (102 Bd) from Colombia has a narrow and sharply confined band of the hindwings, 
being in boliviana subsp. nov. from Bolivia broader and dentate on both surfaces. — In phlogeides Sigr. from 
Colombia, the blue band of the forewings is broader and the blue band of the hindwings is missing altogether. 
C. dodone Guen. (102 Bd, e) from Colombia has broad band of the forewings, but no band of the hind- 
wings whatever or only quite a narrow one being placed more towards the centre of the wing. 
From C. neglecta Salv. (102 Be) from Guatemala, Colombia and Peru, granatensis Gwen. differs by 
a narrower blue band of the hindwings. 
C. lidwina Fidr. (102 Be) from Peru and Rio Negro has, in a certain exposure to light, a magnificent 
blue reflection. : 
C. eluina Hew. (102 Be) from South Brazil (as is stated, also from Venezuela) has a much narrower 
band of the-hindwings than lidwina and beneath somewhat darker ground-colouring, but the same blue re- 
flection as lidwina.
