crescent-bands, the orange-red subanal spots are neater. — The 9-form majugena Fruhst. is smaller, has more 
uniformly coloured wings, narrower white median bands, a darker ochre-yellow apical spot of the forewings 
and more conspicuous reddish subanal spots of the hindwings. — In mima Pruhst. from Colombia and Vene- 
zuela( ?) the yellowish median band of the hindwings beyond the cell is not overshadowed by brown, remaining 
on the whole more uniform and yellow of the same width as far as the submedian, the median band of the hind- 
wings is narrower, the yellowish subanal spot larger than in mileta. The under surface of the forewings is of a 
more hazy and darker ochre-yellow hue at the base and in the submarginal region. The larva greatly resem- 
bles that of selina, the pupa on the whole being also alike, the dorsal ridge rises almost as high as in laure, 
reaching the highest elevation in the middle of the 6th segment, where it forms a prominent point; from 
here it declines anteriorly and posteriorly in the same way; the horns are shorter than in /aure; the dorsal ridge 
is brown only on the 5th and 6th segments, moreover, just like the other edges white-margined. 
Ch. selina Bates (110 Be) from Brazil has a white half-band of the forewings, which is far remote 
from the yellow apical spot. — modica Fruhst. from Espiritu Santo, Minas Geraes and Rio de Janeiro, accor- 
ding to FRUHSTORFER, is the connecting link between selina and lauretta: upper half of the forewing-band yellow- 
ish, the lower half, beginning from the 8rd median vein, of a pure white, the band of the hindwing narrow- 
er than in selina, broader than in lawretta. Under surface: the yellowish zone beyond the median band, 
which is distally bordered by a broad dark brown, is very narrow. — murrina Fruhst. from Rio Grande do 
Sul: the reddish-yellow apical spot of the forewings is tapering posteriorly. The median band changes into an 
entirely dark yellow colour, while that of the hindwings is covered with a yellow hue. Median band of the 
hindwings considerably narrower, bent more proximally. Median band of the under surface of the forewings 
yellow instead of white. — Eggs green, globose, with very distinct longitudinal stripes and fine transverse 
stripes; they are always deposited on the upper surface (on the central nerve) of the leaves, frequently also 
on the tips of the leaves. The larva resembles those of the European reflecting-butterflies, the strong 
horns have short lateral and 2 terminal spines, on the back there are 2 short triangular elevations; the grown-up 
larva is yellowish-green with a green dorsal line and obliquely, anteriorly descending narrow green stripes 
touching the stigmata and forming posteriorly a short descending vein. The larva has the same habits as its 
European affinities. The pupa has larger and smaller dents on its back; it is green, finely dotted with white, 
with dark lines descending anteriorly and touching the stigmata; the dorsal ridge, the wing-edge and _ its 
continuation on the segments 5 and 6, the part of the wing-margin situate behind the wing-edge are bordered 
by brown; the dorsal ridge is on the 4th segment divided into 2 prominent brown stripes running towards the 
horns. The pupa does not move when being exposed to the light, but is otherwise most mobile, jerking furiously 
about on being touched. — W. MUELLER denotes this species /awre; but since the latter does not occur in South 
Brazil, one of the other species occurring there (seraphina, vacuna, zalmunna, sultana, zunilda or selina) must 
be meant. 
Ch. laurona Schaus from Brazil (Petropolis) has been described as follows: 3 similar to dawre (110 e), 
The wings have the same dark-violet reflection; the orange-coloured band of the forewings is broader and 
reaches the apex and the distal half of the costal margin. The anterior and distal part of the white band is 
bordered in brownish-red and distally overtopped before the vein 4 by a large brownish-red spot not reaching 
the apex. — The statement of the place where it was discovered appears to us to be not authoritative; it 
is strange that V. von BoENNINGHAUSEN who had been collecting in this district for more than 30 years, 
did not discover this species. The description also nearly agrees with druryi from Cuba. It may be also identical 
with modica. 
Ch. thoé Godt. from ,,Brazil‘‘ which has not become known to us, has been described as follows: 
both the wings with a white common band and a small dull eye-spot; hindwings beneath of a silvery grey, 
appearance and shape of dawrentia, upper surface of the g¢ blackish-brown with a violet reflection, with a 
common oblique, centrally spotted band; with 2 black undulated lines before its proximal margin. Besides, 
towards the anal angle of the 4 wings, one notices a yellowish-brown spot with a black dot, and on the last 
tooth of the hindwings a V-shaped line, and further on greenish colouring. The under surface of all the 
Wings is as in laure (110 e), but the 2 black dots at the inner angle of the forewings are absent. Abdomen 
of the same colour as the hindwings, antennae black with a reddish-brown club, 2 not differing from the 
3g, but without the reflection and the upper surface is somewhat less dark. — This species has not been 
mentioned by the modern authors; it evidently resembles lauretta, though the latter has no reflection. 
Ch. angelina Fldr. (110 Ac) is smaller than lawretta (110 Ad), the median band is white, not inter- 
rupted, only in the anterior part in the distal half yellow, the white band of the hindwings is narrower, 
posteriorly very much tapering, on all the wings there are 2 very distinct light submarginal stripes. From 
the Upper Amazon. 
Ch. plesaurina Btlr. and Dr. from Costa Rica (Carthago) described according to a g, differs from 
the griseldis-form linda by a narrower white band of the hindwings, and by the ochre-yellow band of the 
forewings being in the anterior part not contracted, but considerably narrowed in the posterior half and brighte- 
ning only before the submedian.
