ANAEA. By J. ROBER. 583 
the pupation the animal grows diaphanous green. In the first 3 stages the larva mostly attaches small pieces 
of leaves to the browsed middle rib of the leaf between which it is somewhat protected. The pupa is short, 
stout, of a shape similar to that of Charaxes jasius; it has no excision of the wings. After the 3rd skin- 
ning the larva constructs from a piece of a leaf drawn together at its rims a cylindrical funnel lined with spun 
threads and being just large enough as to shelter the stretched animal; in this funnel it remains hidden 
in the 4th and 5th stages, while at rest. The species is common. 
A. helie L. (Clerck) seems not to have been found again or to be a very doubtful species, since it 
has no more been mentioned by any author for nearly 100 years; only DRucE mentions that it may be the 
2 of ryphea or phidile. 
A. erythema Sat. (118 c¢) is said to occur on the Upper Amazon. Hersert Druce considers ery- 
thema to be synonymous with phidile, O. StauDINGER takes it to be an insignificant local form. We have figured 
a Colombian specimen which corresponds well with the description of erythema, but we are unable to decide 
whether erythema is a proper species or a local or aberrative form of phidile. — BaTES says about the Q: 
shape like that of the g, but hindwings with a long, spatulate tail being outwardly obliquely expanded. 
The colouring is the same, but the upper surface has no purple gloss and the irregular scaling on the under 
surface is much coarser. 
A. euryphile Fldr. (118 ¢), distributed from Mexico to Brazil, differs from phidile by the short tails 
of the hindwings. The upper surface of the hindwings is mostly lighter than in phidile, but it may be just as 
dark as in the latter. The under surface also shows hardly any constant differences. Whether it is a 
proper species ? 
A. sosippus Hp/fr. (118 ¢) from Peru Chanchamayo) and Ecuador has a dull violet reflection. The 
under surface is brown with numerous, small white scale-spots and two parallel dark oblique bands on the 
hindwings. The © seems to be still unknown. 
A. cratais Hew. from Bolivia does not lie before us. This species is smaller than glycertwm which 
it resembles, though it has a band of white spots on the under surface of the hindwings. 
A. glycerium Db/. and Hew. (118 c) from Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Chiriqui, 
Panama, Veragua, Colombia and Venezuela, is in some places very common, but the 9 is very rarely captured. 
Drvce states that the specimens from Mexico are the smallest and darkest, but that they agree the best with 
specimens from Colombia and Venezuela. — The form from Bolivia (Coroico, leg, A. H. Fasst) exhibits stronger 
colours, more and more coherent dark markings, often a considerable blue reflection and an under surface with 
much more pronounced dark markings, exhibiting also often a series of white glossy spots in the middle of 
the hindwings. We denominate this form ornata subsp. nov. 
A. echemus Dd/. and Hew. (= poeyi Lef.) (118d) is said to occur, according to DouBLEpay and 
Hewitson as well as Drucs, in Honduras, which is, however, contradicted by O. StaupincER. The figured 
specimens originate from Cuba. The species is remarkable for its colour of the upper surface, the black 
distal part of which, on the forewing, gradually changes into the fiery red basal part, and for the marking 
of the under surface reproduced by our figure. It is the type of the genus Cymatogramma Dbl. and Hew. 
A. verticordia Hbn. the habitat of which is stated by several authors to be Cuba, oceurs in Hayti 
according to other authors. According to GODMANN and SALvIN it differs from dominicana G. and S. (118 d) 
from the Island of Dominica chiefly by the absence of the yellow spots near the inner angle of the forewings. 
Both are, therefore, presumably forms of one and the same species. 
A. nobilis Bat. from the valleys of Central Guatemala has a somewhat curved costal margin and 
pointed forewings, the distal margin being somewhat sinuous before the inner angle, the inner margin straight, 
the distal margin of the hindwings slightly undulated, the tail long and somewhat widened at the tip. Fore- 
wing above of a prominent dark purple-red, 2 curved lines from the costal margin (behind the discocellular) 
towards the inner margin, all the veins blackish, hindwings blackish, at the base of a deep purple-red, near 
the tail a series of whitish spots being encircled by black. Under surface reddish, glossy, with a slight, irregular 
dark brown, hindwings with 2 dark and indistinct oblique stripes. 2 of a shape and colouring similar to the 
3. but the forewings with 2 curved oblique series of brownish-white spots, distal margin of the hindwings lighter 
with a gloomy brown shine, the submarginal spots larger and more complete. Under surface like in the 3, 
but much lighter. Seems to be very rare or to occur only in little frenquented places; as for instance on the 
Salama Plateau, near San Geronimo. 
A. nessus Latr. (= cleodice Fidr., tempe Fldr.) (118d) occurs in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia 
and Venezuela. The 33 are frequently captured, the 99° rarely. The 3 exhibits a blue reflection being very 
intense on the longitudinal band and near the inner margin of the forewings. The 9, as is shown by the figures, 
differs extremely, exhibiting the broad white median band of the upper surface of the forewings also on the 
under surface, where it is, however, strewn with small brown spots. Otherwise the under surface resembles
