516 ADELPHA. By H. FrRuuSTORFER. 
median zone of the hindwings on which we miss the reddish-brown anteterminal region of the upper surface, 
so that collina looks again very similar to certain A. alala. — aretina Pruhst. has still narrower white bands 
than collina. Both the forms are found in Keuador. 
A. aricia, a rare and magnificent species, apparently met only in Peru and Bolivia. Two territorial 
races. aricia Hew. (108 a) of which we figure the characteristic under surface occurs in Bolivia. The upper 
surface is adorned with a much broader reddish-yellow band than serenita subsp. nov. of which we figure the 
upper surface by the name of aricia (108 a). Its under surface exhibits less bright reddish-brown bands and spots 
than the larger type from Bolivia. Habitat Peru. 
A. epidamna Fidr., an extremely rare species of which but few specimens are known, one of them 
in FRUHSTORFER’s collection *). It is pretty sure that epidamna replaces the preceding species in Colombia. 
It is, however, mentioned separately here, because the reddish-yellow submarginal band of the forewings is not 
rectilinear as in A. aricia, but it turns out distally in the shape of a crescent between the radials and the 
anterior median, and also disappears already at the central median. The under surface shows more prominent 
black crescents distal to the reddish-brown median band, and purer white small submarginal spots. 
A. cocala commences the large group of species with yellowish-brown band of the forewings and white 
area of the hindwings. The series of species then gradually turns into such forms in which a little white appears 
on the forewings, and finally into forms where the yellowish-brown is isolated only to remain as a separated 
apical spot. All the three combinations of colours have a relatively obtuse uncus and a valve with large 
medial dorsal tooth the shape of which differs in the single species. The clasping-organs of A. cocala are charac- 
terized by basally remarkably thickened uncus, valve short with strangely little developed dorsal appendage, 
the end with sharp teeth. cocala is one of the most widely distributed Adelphes; we meet it from Honduras 
to Bolivia and, on the Atlantic part of the Continent from Guiana to Sa. Catharina. — lorzae Bsd., the nor- 
thernmost branch of the race, is by mistake mentioned as A. wrraca by GopMAN, in the Biologia, from Hon- 
duras in my collection and distributed as far as Panama, is distinguished by the broader white median band 
of the hindwings and paler yellow middle area of the forewings. — lorzina subsp. nov. from Colombia has already 
decidedly narrowed yellowish-brown and white area on both the wings. — fufina subsp. nova, another local 
form from Colombia, shows a darker yellow part of the forewings without any traces of a whitish hue at the 
submedian. The white stripe of the hindwings less extensive than in lorzina. — urraca Fldr. (107 a) of which 
we figure a 9 specimen, is a luxuriant form beating the type from Surinam by broader yellow and white areas. 
Under surface distinguished by most prominent white and violet spots. Upper Rio Negro, also at the proper 
Upper Amazon, e. g. near Iquitos. — urracina subsp. nov. (106 c), common in Peru arid parts of Bolivia, lies 
before me also from Mato-Grosso. The bands very much approach the type, but the band of the forewing 
appears more complete, the whole colouring darker. — suapura subsp. nov. (106 ¢ as saparua) from Venezuela 
is a little form with considerably reduced yellow bands of the forewings. From the Suapura River. — cocala 
Cr., common in Cayenne and Surinam, has again somewhat broader reddish-yellow bands of the forewings 
than swapura. — riola subsp. nov. (106 c as 3 instead of 9), from Rio de Janeiro and the State of Sao Paulo, 
initiates the interesting Brazilian geographical forms; distinguished by the darkened faded reddish-brown 
under surface with reduced greyish-violet spotting and most pronounced, anteriorly tapering white stripes 
of the forewings. In riola, of which we figured a 9 from Rio de Janeiro, we notice in the g and 2 a white hue 
at the submedian of the upper surface of the forewings, which, in caninia subsp. nov. (106 b as riola) projects 
into the yellow zone already in the shape of a band. Sa. Catharina and to the north as far as Sao Paulo, 
while in didia subsp. nov. from Espiritu Santo the connection with cocala is restored by the white being 
absent in the submedian zone, whereas the whole colouring of the under surface entirely resembles that of 
the other species from Rio de Janeiro to Sa. Catharina. 
A. trinina is confounded in the collections with A. cocala. It has a delimited range and is found 
only from Colombia to Ecuador beside A. cocala, as well as in Trinidad. trinina differs above by the reddish- 
yellow preapical maculae of the forewings being either absent or hardly suggested, and beneath by the absence 
of the white median band of the forewings being replaced by a faded loam-coloured band. The tegumen 
has a considerably more pointed uncus, the valve remaining also more slender than in A. cocala. Besides the 
medial dorsal tooth projects nearly double as strongly as in the vicarious type. The end of the valve only faintly 
spined. — fufia subsp. nov. (107 b) is remarkable by a dark ochreous, sharply confined band of the forewings 
and by white stripes reduced towards the anal angle. Colombia, apparently not rare. — cocalina subsp. nov. 
(106 b) smaller than the preceding one with a more uniform yellowish-brown zone and reduced white stripes 
of the forewings. Ecuador, Paramba, from an altitude of 1200 m. Type in the Tring-Museum. — trinina 
Kaye was united with A. velia by its author, and described and figured as A. velia trinina in Trans. Ent. Soe. 
1913, p. 555. The ¢ differs from cocalina and fufia by broadened white median band of the hindwings.
