584 ANAEHA. By J. Réprr. 
A. nesea Godt. (= centaurus Fldr.) (118 d) has so far been known only from Colombia. The 2 seems 
to be still unknown. In the 3 the magnificent fiery bands of the forewings are absent, the latter, however, 
have often vitreous median spots. 
A. strymon Weym. from Ecuador (900 to 1500 m) is smaller than nesea, it has quite similarly shaped 
forewings, but the hindwings are not tailed. The upper surface is violet with broad dark margins and the same 
median spots of the forewings. The under surface is greyish-yellow with 3, partly shortened brown bands of 
the forewings and 2 brown bands of the hindwings running parallel to the distal margin. The forewings have 
a broad brown distal border of which, however, the apex of the wing and the inner angle remain free. 
A. titan Pidr. (118 e) has been described according to Colombian specimens, but according to HErR- 
BERT DRuceE it occurs also in Costa Rica. The Costa Rica form is much darker than the Colombian. The figured 
© has been discovered by Mr. A. H. Fasst in East Colombia (Upper Rio Negro, 800 m); it has, like the gg 
of nesea and tyrianthina, 2 half-diaphanous spots in the middle of the forewings. 
The typical form of A. rutilans Gétlr. from East Peru has no tails of the hindwings, whereas in the figu- 
red form of caudata subsp. nov. (118 e) from the Chanchamayo, they are relatively just as long as in titan. The 
under surface is quite similar to that of titan, but it lacks the white submarginal spots on all the wings. 
titan and rutilans are presumably forms of one and the same species. 
A. tyrianthina S. and G. (118 e) from Bolivia and Peru is the largest and most beautiful species 
of this group. It resembles nesea pretty much, but it has no tails of the hindwings. The @ of this rare 
species seems to be still unknown. 
A. onophis Fldr. (118 e) is distributed from Guatemala to Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, und has 
recently been found also in Bolivia (Coroico, Rio Songo). The 2 has a more compact shape, paler colours and 
a larger yellowish spot at the costal margin of the hindwings. Beneath the species is similarly decorated with 
dark and silky bands as pithyusa (118 f), but the dark inner half is distally more irregularly defined and pro- 
jects in thick obtuse teeth behind the cellule of the forewing. 
A. eubaena Bsd. (118 f) from Central America has more pointed forewings, being more sinuated at 
the distal margin; the ground-colouring is, compared with onophis, more brownish than black and the fore- 
wings seem always to exhibit only 4 blue submarginal spots. The under surface is lighter than in onophis, but 
scarcely different in the scheme of markings. 
A. arginussa Hbn. (120 Ba) occurs, according to O. StauptNguR from Peru to South Brazil (Rio de 
Janeiro). Drucr denotes it as rare in Minas Geraes; in Peru it is common. It greatly resembles onophis above, 
but the white submarginal dots of the hindwings are also beneath very prominent. — onophides Sigr. from 
the Chiriqui has only 4 blue submarginal spots of the forewings. — concolor we denominate the South Brazilian 
form (Santa Catharina, Sao Paulo) in which on the upper surface all the wings are hardly differently coloured 
on the basal area, as on the outer part of the wings, whereas typical arginussa exhibit a bright blue reflection 
at the base. 
A. amenophis Fldr. from Bahia, according to Druck also occurring in Guatemala, Colombia, East 
Peru and on the Lower Amazon, has been described as follows: ,,Q above like laértes (= morvus-9, 119 a), but 
everything coloured in steel-blue, a large basal area and a regular subapical band steel-blue, as well as on the 
hindwings a large discal area, without dots. Under surface like in iphis. We doubt whether this species is 
here at the right place. 
A. perenna S. and G. (= amenophis Druce nec Fidr.) (118 f) from Colombia, Guatemala, Peru and, 
as stated, also from the Lower Amazon, differs from all the species of this group by the blue marginal marking 
of the hindwings. 
A, pithyusa Fldr. (118 f) from South Mexico, Guatemala, Veragua and Costa Rica, is the smallest 
form of this group. It differs from the similar species chiefly by the shape; distal margin and proximal margin 
of the forewings are much less deeply sinuous, so that the inner angle does not project so much; the apex of 
the forewings likewise decreases in intensity thereby. The Q is, according to Drucr, much larger than the 
2, the base of the wings is bluer and the spots on the forewings are larger and mostly white. In many places 
common. 
A. lemnos Druce (120 Ba) from Peru (Chanchamayo) differs from the species having above similar 
markings by the deviating under surface which is much more variegated with reddish and white embeddings 
in the middle especially of the hindwings. The ground of the wings is beneath also lighter, so that the dark 
bands are more sharply contrasting. Above the whole proximal half of the wings is of a bright blue lustre, 
the blue distal spots are very large. The inner-marginal excision at the forewing very slight. 
A. appias Hbn. (118 f) from South Brazil (Espiritu Santo, Sao Paulo, Rio Grande do Sul), disco- 
vered by Mr. A. H. Fasst also in Colombia (Upper Rio Negro and Muzo), seems to be a species of little variability.
