CALLICORE. By J. Roser. 503 
C. bourcieri Guen. All the wings are prolonged at the angles. The green band is anteriorly just as 
broad as posteriorly and geniculate in the cellule. The under surface of the hindwings of a rather deep grey, 
with faded lilac. The markings are all strictly isolated. In the anterior ,,eight“ the second dot is effaced. 
The red costal margin is broad and is met by the third line below the fourth, while the fourth line proceeds 
on it as far as the costal. The black band bordering the red of the forewings is very narrow and both the 
small grey stripes following it are broad. The club of the antenna rather prolonged and at the base of the 
inner side reddish-brown. Quito. 
C. seropa Guen. Closely allied to clymena (102 Bc) the shape of which it has, the wing-contour being, 
however, generally more rectangular. All the fringes sharply interrupted. Band of the forewings broader, 
more intensely golden-coloured, distally sinuate, the band of the hindwings narrower and shorter. The markings 
of the under surface are finer, both the ,,eights“ strictly isolated and parallel. The red costal margin is very 
narrow and remote from the ,,eight*‘, but it expands in the right angle across the 3. and 4. line; the 3. line 
sends forth a fine black streak margining it as far as the costal vein. The red disk of the forewings forms a 
bend at its junction with the black band, and the two small white apical stripes are very broad and more 
sinuate. — Is possibly only a local form of clymena though it has a peculiar appearance. Para. 
C. nystographa Guen. Band of the 4 wings similar and of the same width, bright green, that of the 
hindwings parallel to the margin, the space between being double as broad as the band itself. Under surface 
with very fine markings, the two ,,eights very isolated, the anterior ,,eight‘‘ pyriform with 2 dots. Costal 
margin thin, terminating at the 3. line, the fourth reaches the apex of the wing. Black band of the fore- 
wings very broad, confining the red disk which extends towards the base of the wing. Quito. — According to 
a figure by H. Reser in Vol. 46 of the Berl. Ent. Zeitschr., the under surface of the hindwings is almost just 
as dark as in marchalii (102 Bd), but the black markings are much darker there, the under surface of the fore- 
wings exhibiting also an about thrice as broad black band. GuENEE has not mentioned anything about the 
dark under surface of the hindwings. 
C. pavira Guen. Shape and wing-contour like metiscus (102 Bf). Bands bright golden-green, blue at 
the edges, those of the forewings broad, connected with the base by a faded streak over the median vein, those 
of the hindwings nearly just as broad, entirely discoid, posteriorly pointed, below it a streak at the anal angle. 
All the fringes white. Under surface of the hindwings white with very fine markings; the first ,,eight“ pyri- 
form with a single dot. Red costal margin confined upon a broad, very short faded streak. Disk of the 
forewings entirely black with white apex, parted by a fine black streak not reaching the base. Base white 
with a plain carmine cellular spot. Peru. 
B. ¢ with azure reflection. 
C. coelinula Guen. Seems to be allied with elwina (102 Be), but the entirely white fringes, the spot 
on the hindwings of which I shall speak later on, the two-dotted ,,eights‘‘ ete. together with the different ha- 
bitat prevent me from uniting it with ,,elwina‘*. It has the shape and wing-contour of clymena with which 
HUsByer has mixed it up, from which, however, it is easily distinguished by its blue reflection. The fringes 
are entirely white on the hindwings; the latter, moreover, have below the blue reflection, between the 1. 
and 2. median vein, a glossy spot, more metallic than velvety blue, which is, however, only noticeable in 
certain exposure and changes even into green. The under surface may be compared with Hewirson’s figure 
31, but the satiny-white is homogeneous, the markings are more narrowed, the ,,eights‘‘ larger and closer to 
each other; the upper ,,eight** has beside the dot a very distinct comma-like streak. The 5. line is regular 
and slightly sinuous, and follows the dents of the wings; the red margin, finally, is very thin, far remote from 
the ,,eight** and confined by a distinct rhombic spot from which the 3. and 4. line start and which is distally 
somewhat concave. The black band of the forewings is geniculate. Brazil. 
C. brevipalpis Guen. (=? eluina var. Hew. [fig. 65] ? lidwina Fldr.*). I cannot tell for certain whether 
the said synonyms may not be partly applied to this new species, for the insufficient exactness of figures 
and descriptions prevents me from doing so; but since neither of the authors has spoken of the principal 
character, and the palps of this Callicore are so strikingly short, I concluded therefrom that they can certainly 
not have seen this species. At all events it has the following characteristic distinctions. The hindwings are 
prolonged at the anal angle and have entirely white fringes; their terminal band is very broad, pale and dull 
green, that of the forewings being oblique, bright green, distally very distinct, turning posteriorly on the oppo- 
site side into reflection. The subapical streak is very pronounced, the sky-blue reflection less bright than in 
coclinula not covering any spot. Under surface snow-white with rather thick, very distinct and isolated black 
markings. The anterior ,,eight’ forms a circle with a handle, something like a tennis bat, and has only one 
single large dot. The red margin is very thin and its distal end, by no means widened, receives the 3. and 4. 
line which join each other before reaching it. The palps do not extend beyond the forehead. Venezuela.
