188 TAYGETIS. By G. Weymee. 



brownish ochre-yellow band, which is proximally strongly dentate and extends from the apex to the inner 

 angle. Under surface light reddish brown with 2 straight parallel brown transverse lines through both wings 

 as in virgilia. At the distal side of the 2nd transverse line a whitish nebulous stripe. In the. marginal area 

 a row of white dots in indistinct rings and a brown dentate line. From Colombia (Bogota, Carmen), Venezuela, 

 and Peru. According to Fassl the egg is almost twice as large as that of Pap. machaon, white, spherical and 

 completely covered with fine pores like a Corades-egg. 



acuta. T. acuta spec. nov. (45 b) approaches virgilia in the markings, but the shape is different. The forewing 



is much longer at the costal margin, the hindwing at the inner margin, whilst the imier margin of the fore- 

 wing and the costal margin of the hindwmg are the same length as in virgilia. The distal margin of the forewing 

 is consequently much more oblique. Vein 1 b (the submedian) of the hindwing runs out into a sharply pro- 

 jecting point. The point at vein 4 is even sharper. On the other hand the margm does not project at the 

 other veins, but is only slightly luidulate. Upper surface unicolorous brown. Under surface yellowish grey- 

 brown with 2 straight brown lines as in virgilia, but the outer line runs more parallel with the distal margin. 

 At the costal margin of the forewing it is 11, at the inner margin 9 mm. from the margin, whilst the distance 

 in virgilia amounts to 14 and 7 mm. On the hindwing also this line runs for the most part parallel 

 with the distal margin. From Espirito Santo (Brazil), 



celia. T. celia Cr. (45 a). The distal margin of the forewing forms an obtuse angle on vein 5. The hind- 



wing is dentate not only in the posterior half but also in the anterior, the tooth at vein 4 is stronger than 

 the others. Upper surface unicolorous brown. Under surface yellowish grey-brown, on the hindwing with 

 a somewhat violet tone, with 3 strongly curved brown stripes and the distal margin partly bro'nm. On 

 the third stripe are placed on each wing 5 dark brown eye-spots with white pupils and brown-yellow rings. 

 keneza. From Surinam, Brazil, Panama (Veragua). — keneza Btlr. (45 b) is a form of celia, which onty differs in the 

 less prominent eye-spots and an ochre-j^ellow spot on the middle of the hindwing beneath. From Nicaragua, 

 haenscM. Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, Guiana; Brazil (St. Catharina). — haenschi form. nov. (45 b) is a considerably 

 larger form of celia, expanse c? 71 mm., $ 85 mm. The wings with more strongty produced apex. Above 

 brown, the fringes between the veins whitish. On the underside the median band of the hindwing is almost 

 straight and distally sharpty bomided by a dark brown line. The distal margin of both wmgs is in the (J 

 broadly bordered with dark brown, in the $ on the other hand the whole under surface is lighter grey-brown 

 and only the boundarj'-line of the bands dark bro%^Ti. Hence the dark brown rings of the eye-spots stand 

 out more distmcth^ in the $ than in the q. The pupil of the ocellus in cellule 2 of the hindwing is much larger 

 than the others. Collected in Bolivia by Haensch and named in his honour. Colombia (Rio Vitaco). 



uncinata. T. uncinata Weym. (45 b) has the shape and size of celia Cr. Above brown with dark brown distal 



margin about 3 mm broad, white-grey for 1 mm. at the extreme edge, ciliae likewise white-grey. The under 

 surface is characteiisticallj' marked m that from the dark brown median band of the forewing, which is 8 mm 

 broad and separates the bluish grey basal half from the j'ellowish gre}' marginal area, a pointed tooth projects 

 distally on vein 4, dividing the lighter part of the marginal area into 2 parts. On the hindvving the brown 

 median band is removed fiu-ther distad, so that it closely approaches the eye-spots. From Mexico. The spe- 

 cies seems to be rare. 



angulosa. T. angulosa Weym. (45 b). This is an isolated species as regards shape and markings. The distal mar- 



gin of the forewing is ventricose in the middle, that of the hindwing forms a rectangular tooth on vein 4, 

 but has no other sharp angles. Expanse 68 mm. Upper surface grey-brown, at % the length of the wing is 

 placed at the costal margin of the forewing a distally and posteriorly curved yellow-grey stripe, which only 

 reaches to cellule 3. Hindning with a dark brown submarginal line. Under surface yelloMdsh grey, dotted 

 with brownish, the veins darker. The transverse lines fine, dark brown. The anterior transverse line ex- 

 tends on both wings through the cell to the median. On the hindwing it is continued to the inner margin. 

 The 2nd transverse line forms on the forewing a W , the points of which are placed on veins 3 and 4, on 

 the hindwing it forms a right angle on vein 4. In the marginal area 3 white dots on the forewing and 5 on the 

 hindwing; then follows a thin dentate submarginal line. Brazil (Amazonas, Petropolis). Rare. 



andromcda. T. andromeda Cr. (= laches F., fatua Hbn.). Expanse 68 — 83 mm. The distal margin of the fore- 



M'ing in the o produced iirto a somewhat obtuse angle at veins 5 and 6, in the $ this angle is not present, 

 the margm being iiniformly rounded here. Hindwing in (J and 2 uniformly angled at all the veins. Above 

 rmicolorous brown, the lighter band of the under surface in the 2 showing through faintly above. Under 

 surface bluish grey, with a rather broad basal band and a verj' broad, dark brown median band. The latter 

 is distally straight and sharply defined, and is followed by a straight, whitish grey band extending from the costal 

 margin of the forewing to the hindmargin of the hindwing. Beside this are placed in the marginal area on the 

 forewing 5, on the hindwing 6 yellow-brown ocelli with ochre-\'ellow and brown rings and white pupils, only 

 the 5th ocellus on each wing is brown or black. From Mexico, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, 

 Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Guiana, the Amazon to South Brazil (Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo) and Paraguay.
