more like in tarapotensis, the yellow band of the forewing, at the costal margin broader than in ewphrasius, 
the hindwings at the base and in the part of the median veins not so abundantly overshadowed. Ecuador. — 
ab. gracilis Riff. from Peru, taken by Fasst also in Colombia, denotes specimens in which the median band 
of the hindwing is as narrow as in tarapotensis, though coherent; the marginal band only half as broad as in 
lepidus, coherent and rather sharply defined; from Peru. 
idalion with entirely confluent bands are ab. confluens Newst., and in euphone a denomination (con- 
fluaus Neust. i. l.) is suggested for specimens in which the median and marginal bands of the hindwings are 
confluent; we denote them as ab. nephele, ab. nov.; the type in the Coll. NrusTErrer originates from Medina 
in East Colombia. 
P. 283. — H. ithaca hero Weym. Here the apical row of white spots on the hindwings is continued 
as far as to the inner margin by a red-yellow submarginal band of about 3 mm width being traversed by 
the black veins; discovered by Fasst in Villavicencio. — ab. cajetani Newst. is distinguished by the bifurcation 
of the upper black median spot of the forewing and being united in cellule 4 with the black of the distal mar- 
gin. From Colombia. — (In vittatus Neuwst., likewise from Colombia, there are no yellow spots in the 
apical part.) 
Of clara (73), being closely allied to anderida, there exists a deviation in which the yellow oblique 
band of the forewing is torn up into 4 or 5 yellow, single spots by means of black embeddings (resp. enlarge- 
ment of the spots round the cell-end); this is zygia Riff. from Colombia. — In euchoius Weym. the small, (in 
typical clara) light yellow spot before the inner angle (which is sometimes absent) is red-yellow, above the 
inner margin there is often a black stripe, the black marginal band of the hindwing is but half as broad as 
in clara, and the hindwing is traversed by a median band, like in typical anderida. Colombia. — rebeli Neust. 
resembles H. holcophorus (74b), but the lemon-coloured spot in cellule 3, which in the ¢ is cut off from the 
sulphur-yellow median band (and which is altogether absent in the Q of holcophorus) is much larger, the black 
submedian band of the forewing is still broader, towards the base not so much pointed. On the hindwing the 
black median band, especially in the 9, is much broader, on the under surface the white marginal spots are 
large. ,,Bogota™ (?). — From zuleika, the form dentata Newst. was branched off, in which the black marginal 
band of the hindwing bends in between the veins into the hindwing in large dark ares, so that the brown ground- 
colour extends towards the margin in long points on the veins. Panama. 
Of cydno hermogenes (74 A) a 9 has been discovered now, with only yellow spots of the forewings (NEv- 
STETTER). Whether this is the sole or typical 9 of Hmwrrson’s hermogenes, or whether there are also g-like 
2° (i. e. with yellow and white spots of the forewings) is still uncertain. Further cydno-forms are: — cydno 
cordula Newst. and mediocydno Newst. The latter has the forewings like cydno, the hindwings of epicydnides. 
Colombia. Furthermore punctata Neust. — From galanthus (74d) the form exornata Riff. is branched off, in 
which the forewings are like in galanthus itself, also with a just as broad white spot, whereas the white marginal 
spots of the hindwings are augmented. But at the same place with them fly all the transitions from our figure 
of galanthus (74d) to such forms that have scarcely 1 small spot in the apex of the hindwing. — Of alithea 
there occur specimens in which the band of the forewing is greatly reduced and dissolved into spots; all of 
these spots are situated behind or beneath the cell. Above, this reduction has made more progress than beneath 
where the band remains better preserved. This is egregia Riff. It occurs in typical alithea with a yellow band 
of the forewing as well as in the form haenschi with a white band of the forewing. Both are found in Ecuador 
(Balzapamba) and were captured by Ricu. Hamnscu. — neustetteri Riff. (= minor Newst.). Pygmean speci- 
mens, the forewings being only 30 mm long (instead of 70 as in alinthea). Black with a faint blue lustre, band 
of the forewing quite narrow, the marginal band of the hindwing only half as broad (314 instead of 7 mm 
as in alithea). Kcuador. — In an aberrative form of gustavi, ab. flavomaculata Weym. 7. l., from the Rio Acuaca 
Valley in Colombia, there are yet remainders of the yellow cydno-band before the inner angle of the forewing. 
Regarding H. rubellias Hew., Mr. Neusterrer writes: 
,,Here I beg to remark that the animal figured on t. 74f as rubellius S. and K. is certainly no rubellins 
(I refer to the original figure); I also possess a typical rubellius. The forewings are like in heurippa, the hind- 
wings exhibit a somewhat obsolete macular band right across the middle. The figured specimen agrees com- 
pletely on the upper surface with melpomene-karschi Riff. I occasionally showed Mr. Fasst this form which 
entirely agrees with the figure. Mr. Fasst, however, told me that the said figured specimen has brown trans- 
verse bands on the under surface of the hindwings, as is the case in all the cydno-forms as well as in rwbellius, 
it can, therefore, neither be karschi Riff., for the latter has no brown transverse bands, but is beneath exactly 
like melpone. We have, consequently, a new form before us, which belongs to the group of rubellius-wernickei 
and for which I should like to propose the name of seitzi m. My rubellius originates from Venezuela.*
