596 HELICONINAE. Additions. By Dr. A. Sxrrz. 
like in notabilis, i. e. the anterior spot is distally carmine. Ecuador. — rosacea Riff. stands between notabiles 
and ochracea, the discal spots being more confluent; no basal red on the forewing and no rays on the upper 
surface of the hindwing. Ecuador. — ilia Niep. forms a transition from notabilis to estrelle Bates (= vestalis 
Stgr.) and was, therefore, commented upon by us together with feyert, ochracea and rosacea (p. 393). From 
the forms of the groups of wenoclea and microclea we might undoubtedly be able to form a similar series as the 
one collected by OpERTHUER for the vesta-group; but if we would denominate all these intermediate forms, 
we would get to an immense amount. — On p. 385 a form fraterna Niep. was yet mentioned which we were 
unable to explain according to the description. In the meantime, a figure of it has been published in the fine 
small work ,,Lepidoptera Niepeltiana‘‘, which we reproduce on table 110 Ae. 
H. hecuba. NEUSTETTER (1. |.) remarks to this species having been dealt with on p. 388, that the specimen 
figured as cassandra on t. 76e is not the typical cassandra itself, but its form intermedia Raff. representing 
already a transition to hecuba. Genuine cassandra are smaller, and the yellow macular band of the hindwing 
is narrower. This last mentioned form was taken in Ecuador together with choarina. — 
H. aoede. The specimen figured t. 76 f. is not typical, but it belongs to the form aoede faleria Fruhst. 
In the typical aoede the lemon-coloured spots of the forewings are smaller, farther remote from each other so 
that the black space encompassed by them appears larger. (NEUSTETTER). 
H. xanthoclea. The form newly discovered by Fasst was described by Neusterrer already before 
our number appeared and denominated fassli. This name, therefore, has the precedence. 
H. xanthocles (p. 389). The second form quoted here is called vala (as it says also in the figure), 
not vola. 
H. burneyi. According to NEUSTETTER (i. |.), the specimen of huebneri figured on t. 77 a is not typical, 
since the lemon-coloured oblique spot in the middle of the forewing is too large, the red rays of the hindwings, 
however, too narrow. This form represents a side-form from Mato Grosso which might be denominated 
specially. 
petiverana and hydara. On p. 392 we have expressed our opinion that both forms are connected with 
each other by the close affinity of the hydara-form colombina with the petiverana-form demophoon; for com- 
pleteness’ sake we state here that, while SticHeL and Rirrarru do not even mention the great resemblance 
of the two adjoining forms, Mr. NEUSTETTER writes ,,he cannot find any essential difference at all between 
demophoon and colombina, although hundreds of specimens went through his hands. Thus, colombina would 
have to be eliminated as a synonym of demophoon, and the latter would have to be placed as a connecting link 
between petiverana and hydara. 
Exactly between feyert and lativitta stands ochracea Riff. forming a connection between the erato- 
(delila-)group and the microclea-forms (NEUSTETTER1.1.). ochracea exhibits quite uniformly ochreous spotting. 
Hereto belongs also fuliginosa R7/f., differing from the typical vesta Cr. by the yellow macular group of the 
forewings being prominently dusted in black; Guiana. 
In the phyllis-like forms we must also mention the cybelinus-form helena Riff. being closely allied to 
amalfreda (p. 393), but the distal yellow spots of the forewings are sometimes altogether absent. From Berg-en- 
Dal in Surinam and from Obidos on the Amazon. 
We must add to cyrbia (p. 392) that specimens with an extremely narrow red band of the forewing 
were denominated bela Riff. 
In phyllis the following forms are to be mentioned yet: 
P. 394 the anacreon-form anaitis Riff. forming the transition from the typical anacreon (78 e) to artifex Stachel, 
from the former of which it differs by the absence of the glaring-red basal area of the forewing and the thinner 
rays of the hindwing. South Bolivia. 
— ab. differens Riff. is a phyllis in which the red band of the forewing extends far into the cell; there is 
mostly also red noticeable between the lower median vein and the submedian. Peru and Bolivia. 
— ab. sperata Riff. approximates amata Stgr., but the red spot of the forewing is inside tinged with an intense 
yellow. Hindwings with traces of the yellow anterior band. Bolivia, South Peru. 
— athene Newst. approximates amata Stgr. (p. 394) from Bolivia, but all the yellow is absent here, so that 
the hindwings are unicolorously blackish-brown with a red transverse band of the forewing; similar to hydara 
(p. 392), but the band is light red, not scarlet. Bolivia. 
To H. hortense (p. 395) we must add yet Mexico as habitat. 
H. clysonimus. Of this butterfly Fasst has published two more forms: flavopunctatus and fischeri; 
both from Colombia.
