Ch. Kallina Sfgr. (110 Bd) from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catharina and Rio Grande do Sul) kallina. 
greatly resembles agathina above, but beneath, especially on the hindwings, it is very different. The 9 has 
instead of a band only an oblique row of white dots on the forewings. The larva fully resembles that of selina. 
The pupa has a much less projecting dorsal ridge which, in the middle of the 6th segment, rises to a little 
prominent obtuse point, slanting from here anteriorly in a straight line, posteriorly in a convex line; the 
horns are short and obtuse, all the edges with a white margin. — bertila Fruhst. from Paraguay, founded upon bertila. 
a 2, has been described thus: larger, ground-colour dark greyish-brown, the proximal white spots of the 
forewings more pregnant, as well as the black submarginal band of the hindwings. Under surface: on the 
forewings the black subapical region is reduced, so that only rudiments are yet left beyond the cell, a peculia- 
rity being already met with specimens from Rio Grande. Hindwing with a distinct row of submarginal white 
crescents which are missing altogether in agathina and kailina. 
Ch. felderi G. and S. (110 Bd) from Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia and Peru, has another shape of the felderi. 
hindwings, and differs somewhat beneath. The 9 has been discovered by Mr. A. H. Fasst in Bolivia (Rio Songo). 
Tt resembles the 9 of zwnilda beckeri, but it has on the upper surface of the forewing a much broader and diffe- 
rently placed band; beneath it is of much stronger colours and more pronounced markings. — 9 mathani Oberth. mathani. 
has a blue oblique band of the forewings. — In floris Fruhst. from Peru (Pozzuzo) the ¢ is above darker blue floris. 
but with purer white spots than fe/der?. Under surface: distal region of all the wings dark violet instead 
of brownish-yellow, with a complete submarginal black band bearing smaller white spots. Ocelli of the hind- 
wings smaller. 
Ch. zunilda Godt. (110 Bd) from South Brazil has a 2 varying so much that Hewrrson has been zunilda. 
deceived and has described it as a species of Catagramma (Perisama). The 9-form beckeri Hew. lacks the beckeri. 
large brown spot on the forewings. According to VON BOENNINGHAUSEN it is very rare near Rio de Janeiro, 
but more common in the more southern provinces. Mr. SCHEIDEMANTEL has repeatedly bread the species from 
larvae, near Blumenau; nevertheless we have not yet any precise knowledge of the first stages. The butter- 
flies are extremely timid and they nearly always fly furiously about in the breeding cage. 
Ch. callianira MWén. (110 Bf) from Nicaragua has a blue reflection on the whole upper surface except callianira. 
the apex of the forewing. It has a characteristic reddish-brown submarginal band of the hindwings, which 
occurs otherwise only in such species that have also a yellow median band of the forewings. 
Ch. thaumas Bates from the interior of Guatemala (not lying before us) resembles pavon, though thaumas. 
it is still closer allied to elis. From pavon it differs by having instead of the orange-yellow subapical spot of 
the forewings 3 white spots near the wing-apex, and from elis by the absence of the orange-yellow spotted 
median band, and also by a more pronounced blue reflection. The under surface of the hindwings is of an 
ochreous grey, darkened by brown atoms; in the wing-centre there is an irregular brown stripe, a more sub- 
dued and moon-like stripe is running near the distal margin. Satvrin and GopMAN combine this form with 
the preceding one. 
Ch. elis F/dr. (110 Be) from Ecuador and Colombia has a rather broad brownish-yellow median elis. 
band of the forewings. The @ is not yet known. — farge Pruhst. from Colombia is according to the author con- farge. 
siderably larger, the apex of the forewing more prominent, all the wing-margins are more dentate. Distal part 
of the hindwings lighter with more conspicuous ochre-yellow submarginal macular band remaining distinct 
and complete as far as to the anal angle (the latter statement does not hold good in all cases). —fabaris Fruhst. fabaris. 
from Bolivia (Cochabamba in September, La Paz in April) and Peru (Pozzuzo), has been described as follows: 
Only somewhat larger than elis, submarginal band of the hindwings above still considerably broader and always 
existing distinct as far as to the anal angle, whereas in elis the band is sometimes only as thin as thread and 
disappears already at the upper median. 
Ch. druryi Hon. (2 = laura Hbn.) (110 Be) seems to occur only in Cuba. It is easily recognized by druryi. 
the broad, indistinctly delimited yellow band of the forewing. The light-blue reflection exists on the whole 
hindwing and at the base of the forewing. — acea Fidr. from Mexico has a darker upper surface with a nar- acca. 
rower forewing-band, but a broader hindwing-band; the hindwings are extended into a longer point. 
Ch. laure Dru. (110 Be) distributed from Mexico to Colombia and Venezuela, has a much broader laure. 
white band of the wings, which is continued to the inner margin of the forewings. The 9 is, as the figure shows, 
considerably different. The under surface has, in both the sexes, pronounced golden bands. — lauretta Sigr. lauretta. 
(110 A d) from South Brazil and Paraguay has no reflection and narrower white bands. Specimens in which 
the yellow subapical spot is separated afar from the median band being of a pure white, are called hiibneri hiibneri. 
Stgr. i. 1. — According to voN BOENNINGHAUSEN very rare on the Corcovado. — In the Honduras-form mileta mileta. 
Bsd. the J differs but slightly from laure. The 29, however, are much larger, more yellow, the apical spots 
smaller, more roundish, lighter, the anterior part of the median band of the forewing is of a pure white, the 
bands of the hindwings are nearly as broad again, the centre of all the wings is lighter with more undulated
