band of the hindwings occurring also in a spot at the inner margin of the forewings. The black bands of 
the under surface have brown filling. 
D. coeades Burm. Somewhat larger than athemon, of the same shape, and very similar also with respect 
to the colouring and markings, body above black, beneath white. Antennae with fine white ringlets. Hind- 
wings entirely white, forewings anteriorly with black costal margin and distal margin, expanded at the ter- 
minal angle, with 3 concave sinus, the first being longer, at the end of the cell, the second shorter but broader, 
in the 5. cell of the distal margin, and the third smaller, in the last marginal cell. Base of costal marginal 
band somewhat expanded with a bluish-green metal-spot. Beneath like above, but in the basal part of 
the black costal band there is a yellow ray penetrating yet into the first sinus and being proximally accom- 
panied by a blue metallic border; the apex of the wing, finally, is white and the black band before it bordered 
in yellow. Taken in the north of Buenos-Ayres, near the village Las Conches. 
D. amazonica spec. nov. (101 Aa) from the Amazon, is presumably a temporal or local form of athe- 
mon. It differs by its greater size and by greater extent of the blue brilliant colouring on the forewings as 
well as in the black margin of the hindwings. The brown band in the middle of the under surface of the hind- 
wings is stronger. 
D. coenus F. (101 Ab) from Brazil, Paraguay and Bolivia, has a very narrow black margin of the 
hindwings and a bright bluish-green gloss of the basal part of the forewings. The under surface has much 
browner filling in the black markings. — leucothea Bates from the Amazon has broader dark markings, albi- 
dula Weeks (= coeninus Sigr. i. |.) from Bolivia, however, narrower dark markings, so that the posterior sub- 
marginal spot and the white discocellular spot of the forewings are in coherence with the white ground-colour. 
D. theseus Fldr. (101 A b) is distributed from Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela. The species is remar- 
kable for the stretched shape of the wings and the broad black margins. 
D. limbata Stl. (101 A b) from Bolivia is somewhat larger than agacles, has broader black margins, 
a crescent-shaped white spot in the middle of the black hindwing-margin and verdigris colouring on the basal 
part of the forewings. The under surface has much more verdigris markings. 
D. niveata Biélr. from Bolivia differs from pittheus Stgr. (101 A b) from Venezuela, Colombia and-Panama 
above by full black margins and beneath by having an interrupted, posteriorly also only suggested brown me- 
dian band of the hindwings. 
D. pieridoides F/dr. (101 A b) from Colombia, Venezuela and Panama, differs from anubis by somewhat 
smaller size, somewhat narrower black margin of the hindwings, and on the under surface of the hindwings, by 
the absence of the brown half-band in the centre of the costal margin. 
D. anubis Hew. (101 A b, c) from the Amazon is larger than the preceding species. The ground-colour 
is above and beneath white, the black margins are very broad. The black margin of the hindwings is parted 
in the middle by a white line, at the distal margin of the forewings there are two white spots and in the centre 
of the costal margin there is a large white spot. The under surface has much browner markings of the 
distal margin and wing-base and an elongate spot filled with brown in the centre of the costal margin of the 
hindwings. 
In D. myrrhina Db/. (101 Ac) from South Brazil and Paraguay the hindwings are above and beneath 
fully white, only the centre of the under surface of the hindwings exhibits a brown dot sometimes hardly 
visible. On the basal part of the upper surface of the forewings there is likewise bluish-green gloss, and the 
under surface of the forewings is rather broad white at the distal margin. 
D. ate Godm. and Salv. (101 Ac) from Guapiles is unique among the white species for having on the 
under surface of the hindwings 2 submarginal blue eye-spots which are placed at the outer boundary of 
the submarginal brown band running parallel to the wing-margin and, therefore, being curved. Beside a sub- 
basal hindwing-band there is a premedian brown one with little bluish-glossy marking. The marking of the 
under surface of the forewings corresponds to the upper surface, although the common lustrous blue markings 
are present. 
B. Upper surface variegated. 
a) Under surface of the hindwings without eye-spots. 
D. tithia Hbn. (101 Ac) from South Brazil is one of the smallest species. The upper surface is greenish- 
blue in the 3, but much more greenish in the 9 having also purer white spots on the upper surface and one 
such spot on the anterior part of the hindwing-centre. This species is characterized by a broad brown median 
band of the under surface of the hindwings, with a light filling. — Larva according to WiLtH. MULLER, when 
being grown up, with considerably shorter accessory spines than the larva of mylitta, head pale yellowish, 
body on the first 5 segments quite green, on the following 6 segments green above the stigmata, only the 4th 
segment brownish-red, beneath the stigmata whitish-green with 2 white dorsal lines beginning from the 6th
