NYMPHALINAE. Additions. By Dr. A. Ssrrz. 59 
H. telesiphe. Mr. NEUSTETTER says about it: 
.,Here a new form lies before me from the Coll. Tosstzza which I denominate cretacea. In this interesting 
form, the bands of the forewings as well as the band of the hindwings are of a pure white. In felesiphe and 
sotericus they are red on the forewings, in telesiphe white, in sotericus yellow on the hindwings. One specimen 
from French Guiana.“ 
In Zueides lampeto (p. 396) we must add to the form fuliginosa: ab. pallida Riff. from Pastaza (Ecuador). 
Forewing similar to carbo, but the ground-colour intensely brightened, outside almost whitish. Described accor- 
ding to 1 Q. 
To Bueides isabella hiibnert Mr. NeustetrreR kindly sent us the following description of a new form: 
.£. isab. hiibn. var. olga subsp. nov. differs from hiibneri by a sulphurous transverse band being noticed on 
the hindwing between the costal margin and the median band. The veins in it red-brown like the ground- 
colour. The subapical band consists of somewhat smaller spots than in hiibneri Mén. Otherwise there are no 
differences. One 3 from Chanchamayo (Peru).“ 
Nymphalinae. 
1. Genus: Huwptoveta (p. 404). 
P. 404 for bogotana poaria read poasina; the same correction is to be made on: table 86 f (last figure). 
3. Genus: Melitaea (p. 431—434). 
By the kindness of Mr. Dyar and Mr. SxrnneR in America, and the investigations of Mr. Barnes and 
Mr. SyNDER who were kind enough to control the models, I subsequently came into the possession of a number 
of authentical specimens figured on t. 103 b and ec. 
M. quino Behr. The ¢ is easier to distinguish than the 9 greatly resembling chalcedon; its upper sur- 
face is darker, with smaller spots and with red-brown macular chains between the yellow ones. — We figure 
t. 103 b both surfaces of the $ according to a specimen kindly sent by Mr. Dyar. 
M. beani Skinn. The figure on t. 103 has been procured from Mr. Dyar according to a specimen of 
his collection. It distinctly exhibits the differences, especially regarding the position of the yellow macular 
bands. The form is, especially by the reduction of the red-brown, considerably darker than anicia. — brucei 
Edw. from Colorado, is a still darker form in which the upper and under surfaces are overshadowed by a sooty 
black. Seems to be very rare. The figure was done according to a specimen which Mr. Barnes kindly con- 
trolled. 
M. bollii Hdw. (103) from Arizona and definita Aaron (103) from Texas we figure according to kindly 
sent specimens of which that of bollii was controlled by Mr. N. Bryzr, of definita by Mr. W. Barnes. Both 
approximate more leanira than thekla, but they distinctly differ from the former: In bollii the lighter median 
band of the hindwing is very regular, towards the inner margin hardly narrowed, not acuminated; definita 
resembling a darkened wrighti (88 f) above, has a greatly shifting under surface of the hindwings which is tra- 
versed very much by black. 
M. maria Skinn. which we only briefly mentioned p. 434, probably most closely approximates brucez, 
but the macular chains above are somewhat differently arranged, and on the under surface of the hindwings 
we are at once struck by the difference of the submarginal, light-yellow helmet-spots being more than twice 
as broad in maria. Mr. A. J. SNypeR had the kindness to control a specimen we figure on t. 103. 
Of M. gilettei Barnes we figure t. 103 both surfaces of the type which Mr. Barnes had painted for us. 
The animal originates from the Yellowstone Park and is immediately recognizable by a strange obliteration 
and the uniformity of the dull red-brown distal band. Mr. Dyar places it between quino and nubigena.
