514 ADELPHA. By H. FRUHSTORFER. 
A. leucophthalma forms the transition to a charming, sharply confined group with ochre-yellow band 
leucophthal- of the forewings and white discus of the hindwings. — leucophthalma Latr. (107 f) found in Peru, the western

slope of the Andes near the Pacific Ocean near Guangamarca, (according to the statement of the author from 
the year 1809). The form is figured according to a $ from Cundinamarca in the Tring-Museum. The band 
of the forewing is beneath pale-yellow, and on the hindwings the white spots recur frequently. — mephisto- 
pheles Béir. from Colombia comes oftener to Europe than the type of the name. There are also in Colombia 
several local races. BuTiLER based his type upon relatively small specimens and STavuDINGER also figured a 
© stunted in its habitus. There are, however, much larger specimens lying before me without exact statement 
of their habitat. — tegeata subsp. nov. with paler band of the upper surface, but remarkably darkened 
under surface of the hindwings. A charming form is found at the volcano Irazu (Costa Rica) in about 2800 m 
height, wich was mentioned already by Gopman, but which has remained unknown to mein nature, just like 
dd from Nicaragua and Panama. 
A. zina the differences of which compared to lewcophthalma are to be noticed from our figure of 
restricta (107 f), is distributed upon 8 geographical subspecies: zina Hew. with elliptic white discus of the hind- 
wings composed of 4 narrow maculae, and leucacantha subsp. nov. in which the white disk consists only of 3 
components and is almost circular. The ochreous longitudinal band of the forewings lighter and broader than 
in zina, under surface paler with more white and yellowish markings. Both the forms in my collection from 
Colombia. — restricta subsp. nov. (107 f). Approximates leucacantha by the likewise more roundish than acute 
reflection of the hindwings. The under surface of all the wings darker reddish-brown, the longitudinal band 
of the forewings considerably narrower, more sharply set off, the violet spots more pregnant. Cananche, Cun- 
dinamarca June 1903. Clasping organs of the plainest structure; valve neither spined nor hairy, clunicula in 
the shape of an isosceles triangle, point of uncus not thickened, neat; point of penis not chitinized. 
A. justina inhabits Venezuela, Colombia, and Peru, occurring everywhere in distinctly separated 
territorial races. The white spot of the hindwings always appears elongated in the shape of a band. — lacina 
Bilr. *) from Guatemala to Panama, occurring as a great rarity, has a narrower beautifully. light-yellow band 
of the forewings. — justina Fidr. differs from A. zina by a larger and lighter yellow apical spot of the fore- 
wings. Colombia, rare. — justinella Fruhst. 3 deviates from justina Fldr. from Colombia by the blackish-dusted 
and also darkened, much narrower yellowish band of the forewings and the elongated white discal spot on the 
hindwings, which is, however, greatly reduced in width. — In StauDINGER’s collection there are also specimens 
without white reflection of the hindwings (maira form. nov.); habitat Venezuela. — praevalida subsp. nov. 
Yellowish longitudinal band of the forewings lighter, narrower. Subapical dots much smaller, the white discal 
spot of the hindwings, however, very much elongated and broader. At the costal margin there appears but 
a small macula as occurring in leucophthalma Latr. Hindwings beneath with a white band traversing the whole 
centre and being twice interrupted. Peru: Cuzco. 
A. olynthia, one of the best-known and most easily recognizable species characterized by uncommonly 
narrow, ochreous or reddish-brown row of spots contrasting delightfully with a purely white longitudinal stripe 
of the forewings. The under surface is either preponderantly faded yellowish-brown (106 a levicula), but only 
in the Colombian races, or it changes into reddish-brown (olynthia 106 a) which colour increases in intensity 
the more we go to the south. Clasping organs distinguished by the valve being without spines and set with 
very long hair, and by a remarkably high, narrow clunicula; point of tegumen relatively broad. — olynthia 
Fldr. is very common in Colombia and, according to the locality and season, varies there somewhat in the width 
of the white stripe of the forewings. This stripe is the narrowest in a 3 from Villavicencia, exhibiting at the 
same time the most imposing and darkest red-yellow spots on the forewings. — levicula subsp. nov. (106 a) 
has broader, but paler yellow components of the band of the forewings and another second pair of transcellular 
yellowish spots distal to the cell-apex which are absent in typical olynthia. Beneath more reddish instead 
of greyish-yellow as in Muzo- and Villavicencia-¢¢g, with purer and finer colours. From Pichinde in Co- 
lombia from an altitude of 5000 feet. Type in the Tring Museum. — An incidental aberration is introduced as 
inachia form. nov. having been thus denominated by StavpINGER in his collection. The white median zone 
of the forewings is absent and the reddish-brown band of the forewings is uncommonly broadened. — olyn- 
thina subsp. nov. shows the narrowest white median band of the forewings among the known olynthia-races. 
The under surface resembles yet the Colombian 33 by pale yellowish-brown colouring. Ecuador. — theaena 
subsp. nov. (106 a as olynthia) is very common near Cuzco in Peru. Like levicula it shows a pronounced row 
of transcellular maculae of the forewings proximal to the three usual preapical spots. The white stripe of the 
hindwings decidedly broader than in olynthina. Under surface with reddish-yellow or reddish-brown spots, 
all the white and violet maculae more prominent. — zopyra subsp. nov. is found at the Chanchamayo, Peru, 
and near Cushi in the Province of Huanaco in 1900 m height. It resembles theaena except that the ultracellular, 
reddish-yellow double-spot on the upper surface of the forewings is absent like in the Colombian forms. 
A. valentina spec. nov. is a considerably modified species with conspicuous and progressive extent 
of the reddish-yellow and white bands of the upper surface. The latter sometimes exhibits a proximal blue 
*) There are 2 Q-forms: qa) with relatively narrow complete white band, p) with white area of the hindwings 
being separated at the anterior radial. Beneath, both the ¢-forms lying before me from Orosi (Costa Rica) from an. alti- 
tude of 1200 m, differ from the ¢g by more pronounced violet-grey submarginal spots.
