586 ANAEA., By J. Roser. 
A. oenomais Bsd. (119 c) from Mexico, Costa Rica and Chiriqui makes the impression of a small, 
little marked zphis to which the under surface is also quite similar. — lina form. nov. from Panama (Lino, 800 m) 
may be a temporal form of oenomais. The basal colouring of the upper surface is not blue, but green (glossy), 
occupying also a larger part of the wings. The under surface is brown and less irrorated in white. 
A. cicla Mschlr. from Surinam, of which apparently only 1 specimen has become known so far, 
according to which the species has been described, seems to be allied to oenomais. It has the same shape of 
the wings, but the inner margin of the forewings is straight. The larger inner half of the wings is above 
of a light blue silver with a greenish shine; in the dark border there is a small blue, subapical spot; before 
the small tail of the hindwing there stands a black spot with a blue pupil. The under surface seems likewise 
to agree well with oenomais. 
A. herbacea Bilr. from Costa Rica is presumably a form of glawce (119 c). The basal part of all the 
wings is green and less extensive; except a green subapical spot and 3 white dots at the distal margin of the 
hindwings, the upper surface has no marking. The under surface essentially corresponds with glauce. 
A. acaudata spec. nov. (119d) from Bolivia at first sight makes the impression of a felderi (119 d) 
without tails. The shape of the wings, however, is still quite different: the apex of the forewings is more roun- 
ded, the distal margin is almost straight, there is no trace whatever of the small tail and the inner angle of 
the hindwing is rounded. The marking of the forewings is almost the same as in felderz, but the greenish-blue 
colouring of the hindwings expands further distally. The under surface is generally lighter than in felderz, 
through the wings, from the middle of the costal margin of the forewings towards the middle of the inner margin 
of the hindwings, runs a blurred dark band; in a basal direction from this band the wings are darker than 
on the distal part; from below the apex of the wings to the first median vein of the forewings runs a greyish- 
brownish band and the hindwings have a blurred greenish-blackish submarginal band in the reddish-grey 
distal part; between the second and third median veins there is a small black, submarginal dot. 
A. hedemanni F/dr. from Mexico (Potrero, January) has been described as follows: smaller than 
glauce (119 c), apex of the forewing greatly protracted, pointed sickle-shaped, hindwings without tails, but 
distinctly angled at the third median vein. All the wings above steel-bluish black with 5 steel-blue submarginal 
spots, beneath of a glossy greyish white reddish brown, striated in white, with a median band being angled 
at the third median vein and fading away proximally, on the forewings with a submarginal, greyish green 
stripe, on the hindwings with almost disappearing black dots being interiorly marked in blue. 
A. moeris Fldr. (119 ¢) from Colombia is conspicuously marked in intense green. The hindwings 
have very long tails, and the inner angle of the forewings forms a pointed sickle. Whether it is a proper species 
or a form of morvus, we cannot. decide. 
A. alberta Druce (119d) from Peru has a glossy brown under surface with thick dark and light 
brown spots. Not known to us in nature. According to the figure, the forewings exhibit more distinctly the 
blue spots of the forewings which are in moeris continued from the apical district along the distal margin; the 
sickle of the inner angle is just as pronounced as in moeris, but the hindwings have only a short tooth instead 
of the long spatulate tails. 
A. glauce Fldr. (119) from the Upper Amazon and Colombia varies in the colouring of the markings 
above between green and blue. The 9 is, as is shown by the figure, considerably different from the g, by 
having long spatulate tails, with a strongly faleated tornus of the forewing and a more abundant metallic cove- 
ring. — glaucome Fidr. are according to O. SraupincER little marked specimens of glauce. — In felderi subsp. 
nov. (119d) from Ecuador the greenish-blue basal area is reduced, whereas the submarginal marking of the 
same colour is more developed. The under surface is lighter, though more contrasting, on the outer part of 
the hindwings greenish. — glaucina Stgr. (119 d) from Colombia is perhaps a proper species. The upper sur- 
face is shown on the figure; the under surface is rather monotonous. — As-centralis subsp. nov. (120 B b) we 
describe, according to two specimens from Panama (Lino, 800 m, Coll. A. H. Fasst), a form being smaller 
and more slender and having a greatly reduced, green basal colouring, particularly of the hindwings; the under 
surface is much lighter (grey with a slight reddish shine) and has less dark markings. 
A. florita Druce (120 Bb) from Peru (Chanchamayo) is a neat little animal with pronounced blue 
markings. The under surface is light brown, irregularly scaled in brown and white; from the apex of the fore- 
wing to the middle of the inner margin runs an indistinct white line. The hindwings are the darkest at the 
base and behind the middle, at the distal margin there are 6 indistinct white spots. 
A. praxias Hp/fr. from Peru is somewhat larger than glawce (119 ¢) with the same colouring, but 
only one plain little apical spot of the forewings below which there is sometimes another small blue spot parted 
by a vein, before the middle of the distal margin. Hindwing without tail or tooth. 
A. vieinia Stgr. (119d) from the Upper Amazon has sometimes another pair of blue spots at the 
distal margin. The under surface resembles that of anassa (120 A e), though it is browner. The hindwing has 
no tailed continuation, but its anal angle is extended to an obtuse point by which it is distinguished from all 
the similarly coloured species. — iphimedes Stgr. i. 1. from Bolivia has more and greenish blue markings of 
the upper surface and a paler brown under surface.
