ANAEA. By J. Rozur. 589 
spun on to the under surface of a large hard leaf belonging to the lowest branch of an enormous tree 
of the primeval forest. The said pupa yielded, on the 26th of July, the 9 butterfly differing greatly from the 
+. with the broad, red-brown bands.*‘ — Seems to be not rare. 
Of A. xenica Bat. (= xelica Sigr.) (120 Be) from Guatemala only the 2 was known for a long time. 
In all probability it is a local form of chaeronea. ; 
A. promenaea G. and S. from Mexico (Cordova) is said to be closely allied to xenica (120 Be), but 
the base of the wings is more blue in the g, more purple in the 9. Differing from the g of indigotica by the 
absence of the slate-blue bands on the upper surface. 
A. proserpina Salv. (= pedile Druce) (120 Be) from Guatemala and Costa Rica lies before us in a 2 
from Costa Rica (Orosi, 1200 m, Coll. A. H. Fassi). We reproduce the figures from the ,,Biologia centrali-ameri- 
cana’. Here the spots before the apex of the wing converge to a preapical oblique band, and the hindwings 
are margined in dull lightblue. 
A. basilia Cr. from the Upper Amazon River is a rare species which seems to have been captured 
last by Bartss in the fifties of the last century. According to Drucs it greatly resembles the following species 
and has only somewhat more and lighter blue colouring. — phantes Hpffr. (120 A c), only a local form of basila, 
from Peru and Bolivia, is in both sexes rather variable above, because there may be abundant as well as little 
submarginal marking; the under surface, however, is rather constant. The $¢ also vary greatly in size. If 
the 2° connected by us with this species belong here indeed, we have to state yet Panama (Lino, 800 m, Coll. 
A. H. Fasst) as habitat. 3g from Panama are not lying before us. 
A. memphis F/dr. from Colombia and the Amazon is known only in the male sex. According to the 
author, this species is the most closely allied to iphis, but its size, shape of the forewings and marking of the 
upper surface greatly resemble basilia. — montana subsp. nov. from Central Peru (Hunamobamba, 1500 m, 
A. H. Fasst) is the larger alpine form with much more subapical and submarginal marking of the upper sur- 
face. The under surface is lighter blue and less irrorated in white. 
A. mora Druce from Colombia and Guatemala has been described as follows: Upper surface greenish- 
black, basal half of the forewing of a dim green, a green spot near the apex of the forewing and an indistinct 
spot near the anterior angle of the hindwings, being slightly tinged in greenish. Hindwing without a tail, 
basal half and distal margin green, a row of 4 small whitish spots from the anal angle to the apex. Under sur- 
face dark brown, all the wings spotted in chestnut brown, with greyish scales along the costal margin of the 
forewing, all the wings with a submarginal row of indistinct white spots. 
A. orthesia G. and S. (= mora Druce p. p.). 3 forewing purple-black, dusted in blue at the base, the 
margin of the forewing indistinctly blue. Under surface chestnut-brown, everywhere irrorated in rust- 
reddish and white. Forewing very pointed, hindwing without a tail. 2 brownish-black, at the base blue, fore- 
wing with a blue spot near the apex , under surface brown, with a reddish tinge, irrorated in brown and white; 
hindwings with tails. The 2 resembles greatly A. oenomais (119 c) but the wings are more pointed and their 
basal area of a more intense blue colour. Deviating from mora by a more purple hue of the wings, the 
blue of the basal area being less tinged greenish etc. Mexico, Guatemala. 
A. cambyses Druce from Peru (Chanchamayo) is above deep black, the basal third of the forewing 
green, two small green apical spots standing closely together; the basal third of the hindwing bluish-green, 
a submarginal row of 5 indistinct green spots, the anal angle and inner margin red-brown. Under surface dark 
brown, at the base, at the costal margin and at the apex of the forewing thickly covered with greenish-white 
scales, base and inner margin of the hindwing irregularly spotted in white, a submarginal row of small white spots. 
A. lyceus Druce (120 Bd) lies before us in several gg from West Colombia (Cauca-Valley, and 1 
pair from the Aguaca-Valley, 2000 m) and 3 99 from Bolivia (Rio Songo, 750 m, A. H. Fass), according 
to Druce this species occurs also in Ecuador. While in the Colombian 2 the violet-blue basal part occu- 
pies only scarcely the half and the subapical marking is very insignificant and blurred, the Bolivian 99 have 
a larger and greenish-blue basal part and greatly developed subapical and also some submarginal marking. 
Beneath these 29 are browner and have a much more silky gloss. We denote this form as lynceus subsp. nov. 
(120 A d). 
A. schausiana G. and S. (120 Cab) from Coatepek in Mexico is a peculiar species because both sexes 
are above almost the same. It is known to us only from the figures in the ,,Biologia centrali-americana“ which 
are depicted according to specimens of W. Scuaus. Approximates beatrix (120 Cb). 
A. odilia Cr. (= polycarmes F.) (120 Ad, 120 Bd) is a rare species from the Upper Amazon. The 
upper surface is lighter or darker, but always unmarked. The under surface exhibits more or less white scaling. 
The 2 is above greyish-brown with glossy blue scaling, except dull margins; several indistinct bluish subapical 
spots. Under surface light greyish-brown with a slight cloudy marking on the hindwings and small white spots 
at the distal margin of the hindwings. — The statements made by older authors about the larvae are in-
