580 ANAEA. By J. ROsmER. 
P. hippona. Of the following 21 forms we take 11 to be local races (subspecies), the others to be 
aberrative forms, according to our rather quite insufficient material. O. SraupINGER presumed 4 species: 
drurti, cecrops, bogotanus, and hippona. But since there occurs nowheres more than one principal form, the 
larvae of the Surinam-form hippona and of the South Brazilian drurii exhibiting but slight differences which 
do not justify the presumption of separate species, we are hardly wrong in combining all the forms to one 
species. We have to consider hippona fF. (= fabius Cr.) (117 a) from Surinam and the Amazon as the type 
of the species, varying considerably in the width of the yellow band of the forewings as well as in the 
size and number of the subapical spots. — ochraceus Bétlr. from Cayenne is an aberrative form in which all 
the light markings are ochre-yellow; the submarginal spots of the hindwings, however, have the usual yellow 
colouring. — In ab. castaneus Bélr. from Ega the colour of the broad inner-marginal band of the forewings 
and hindwings except the black distal margin is a beautiful chestnut-brown. — ab. butleri Stgr. from 
Pebas on the Amazon River has a greatly reduced dark yellow median band and well developed, mostly pro- 
longed yellow submarginal spots of the forewings. —ab. fulvus Btlr. (117 c), likewise from Pebas, is characterized 
by a broad brown median band and 4 brown submarginal spots of the forewings. — cecrops Dbl. and Hew. 
(117 a) from Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Costa Rica exhibits beside the differences of the upper sur- 
face a darker under surface than hippona; it flies in Mexico (in November). — bogotanus Btlr. from Colom- 
bia, being the first form of this species described, must be regarded as the type of the subspecies, differing from 
ab. tithoreides Btlr. (117 b) by exhibiting but two yellow subapical spots. — In ab. albinotatus Btlr. from Colom- 
bia the marginal spots and the median band of the forewings are white, the latter is also reduced to 3 smaller 
spots. — From the Chiriqui we have before us 1 9 with a complete median band, somewhat reduced marginal 
spots, and in the distal part broad light yellow brightened basal half of the forewings, as well as a reduced yel- 
low spot in the black marginal band of the hindwings reaching in the anterior part hardly as far as to the sub- 
costal. If this form should be constant, it would have to be separated as chiricanus subsp. nov. — A small form 
with very complete markings is fassli subsp. nov. (117 b) from the Cauca Valley (West Colombia, Upper Matagany, 
1000 m, A. H. Fassz). The under surface is very light, owing to a great deal of light violet markings. — lilops 
Bilr. from Venezuele has, at the distal margin of the hindwings, 4 yellow-bordered white spots; according to 
O. StavuDINGER this form is hardly separable from tithoreides. — trinitatis subsp. nov. (117 a) from the Island of 
Trinidad is, as shown by the figure, above considerably different and is distinguished from the most closely allied 
continental form (ochraceus Btlr.) especially by more numerous submarginal spots. The under surface, especially 
also of the forewings, is very light. — divisus Btlr. from East Peru is compared by the author with bogotanus, while 
O. StauDINGER who got this form also from Bolivia, takes it to be an aberrative form of quadridentatus Bilr. 
(117 b) with a dissolved median band and 4 small yellow marginal spots. The latter form occurs in Bolivia 
and has to be regarded as the type of the subspecies. — In ab. immaculatus Sigr. (147¢) from Peru the 
marginal spots are absent and the median band is more or less dissolved or vanished. — ab. diffusus Btlr. 
(117 b) from Ecuador, according to O. StavuDINGER also from the interior of Peru, shows a coherent yellow 
median band the posterior part of which is confluent with the end of the brown basal band having turned broad 
yellow. — aequatorialis Btlr. (117.c) from Ecuador and Peru exhibits a greatly reduced yellow median band 
and in contrast with it well developed marginal spots; the marginal spots cf the hindwings are white. — ab. 
peruvianus Sigr. from Peru has a much broader median band, but smaller marginal spots. — semifulvus Bélr. 
(117 ¢c) from Ecuador is presumably nothing else but a very conspicuous aberrative form which has no yellow 
marking whatever and in which the ample posterior half of the hindwings is black. — drurii Btlr. (117 d) from 
South Brazil has to be considered as a good subspecies. It is distinguished by broad spatulate tails of the 
hindwings, a large white subapical spot of the forewings and white submarginal spots of the hindwings. — The 
scheme of markings of the under surface is the same in all the forms, but the colouring is lighter in the one 
form, darker in the other. — Sexual differences are noticed neither in the shape, nor marking nor colouring.

65. Genus: Anaea Hbn. 
The numerous species of this genus are distributed from the Southern States of North America to 
South Brazil, some species are found also in the Antilles; they occur, however, at the northern frontier of 
their range in but one species, in the south in but few species, whereas most of the species are at home 
in the tropical districts. Although the species differ extremely in the shape of the wings as well as in the 
marking and colouring, still even species deviating in their exterior are easily recognized as members of 
this genus. The subcostal of the forewings is 5-branched, but there exist great differences in the course of these 
veins; they partly run freely, partly they merge into each other and partly they branch off again in order 
to run into the costal margin as minute, short veins. Considering this variability in the structure of the veins, 
it is Inappropriate to found genera upon small differences. We, therefore, combine Cymatogramma Dbl. and 
Hew. and Pyrrhanaea Schatz with Anaea; the latter genus is anyhow synonymous with Anaea, since its author 
presupposed the type of Anaea (troglodyta) as type for Pyrrhanaea. The sexual dimorphism is extremely diffe- 
rent; there are species with but slightly different sexes, whereas others, being not in the least similar on the 
upper surface, are also considerably different beneath for which reason the sexes of one and the same species 
have often been considered and described as different species (as for instance indigotica-zelica, panariste-bertha).
