242 STEREMNIA; GYROCHEILUS; ELINA. By G. Weymer. 



powdered with white. Hindwing dark oUve-brown, raarbled and spotted with black, distal area lighter with 

 a strongly dentate olive-brown submarginal band, a row of white dots before it, and some whitish yellow 

 spots and streaks at the costal margin and anal angle. The distal margin is entirely dark brown. Prom Huanca- 

 bamba. North Peru, at 3000 m. 

 agrauUs. P. agraulis spec. nov. (51 f). ,$: above reddish brown, somewhat glossy, at the base somewhat darker. 



Forewing with 3 white dots before the distal margin in cellules 3, 4 and 5. fringes white, spotted with black 

 on the veins. Hindwing with 4 white dots in cellules 2 to 5. Marginal lines dark brown, fringes unicolorous 

 brown. Forewing beneath brown, apex and distal margin white, irrorated with dark brown. The white dots 

 of the upper surface are likewise present. Hindwing beneath dark grey, marbled with white and black, at the 

 costal margin 2 broken white spots, at the inner margin 2 triangular grey spots, before the distal margin 

 a row of white dots in black rings. Fringes brown. Differing from monachella in the absence of the dark brown 

 scale-spot in the middle of the forcAving above, the different shape of the markings on the hindwing beneath 

 and especially in the absence of the dark black-grey border. Moreover the incisions in the distal margin are 

 deeper and the teeth more pointed. From Bolivia. 



36. Genus : f^tereuiiiia Thieme. 



This genus lacks not only the teeth beyond the middle of the costal margin of the hindwing which 

 Steroma possesses, but also the one placed at the apex itself, which projects rectangularly in Pseudosteroma. 

 Hence the somewhat convex costal margin of the hindwing passes into the distal margin in almost an even 

 curve. The excision of the inner margin is not so deep and the teeth of the distal margin project less than 

 in the two preceding genera. 



polyxo. S. polyxo Godm. di Salv. Above brown, in the (^ unicolorous, in the $ with an obscure reddish brown 



submarginal band on both Avings. Beneath the forewing brown, with yellowish brown apex. Hindwing yellow- 

 ish brown, striated with dark brown, with a yellowish band before the iniddle, which is anteriorly widened 

 and cleft into two. Before the distal margin a broad yellowish band, which in the posterior half of the wing 

 projects widely proximad in 2 teeth, forming the letter W. Collected in the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta 

 (Colombia) by Simons and Tetens. 



rugilas, S. rugilas Thieme (52a). Above brown; on the forewing somewhat reddish before the middle of 



the distal margin. Forewing beneath reddish brown with grey apex, hindwing black-brown marbled with 

 light, with indistinct white median band, arising from a white costal spot, and a row of white dots before the 

 somewhat lighter distal margin. Colombia, Callegos on the Quindiu Pass at an elevation of 3000 m. (Fassl). 



misella. S. misella Thieme (52 a). Above olive-brown, towards the margin somewhat lighter, the ^ with 



scale-spot. Fringes of both wings chequered with browl^ and white. Beneath dark brown, at the distal margin 

 of the hindwing and the apex of the forewing somewhat lighter and finely striated with dark, with an indistinct 

 submarginal line. The teeth of the hindwing project but little. From Huancabamba in North Peru. 



36. Genus: Ccyroclicilus Btlr. 



Costa of the forewing strongly curved, distal margin but little undulate, that of the hindwing dentate, 

 inner margin of the hindwing rather strongly excised. The costal vein of the forewing is rather strongly swollen. 

 Of the subcostal veins of the forewing the first arises before the end of the cell, the 2nd just at its anterior 

 angle, the rest behind it. The middle discocellular vein on both wings is angularly bent inwards, consequently 

 the posterior part of the cell is longer than the anterior. Medium-sized, dark brown butterfhes, inhabiting 

 Mexico and the neighbourmg state of Arizona. 



pairobas. G. patrobas Heiv. (52 b). Above dark brown, forewing with 4 -white dots in a row, fringes chequered 



with black and white. Hindwing Avith a broad red-brown submarginal band, on the proximal edge of which 

 stand 2 white dots in cellules 2 and 3, and with a narrow, somcAvhat obscure red-broAvn stripe between this 

 band and the distal margin. Beneath the AAdngs are e\'en darker brown than above. On the forewing the apex 

 is poAA'dered with AA'hite and the white dots are placed in black rings. On the hindAving the distal margin is broadly 

 bluish grey, marbled AA'ith red-yelloAv and broAvn, at its proximal side is placed a row of whitish yellow 

 spots, at its distal side scA^eral broAA-n lines separated by red-yelloAA' ones. In the highlands of Mexico 



triionia. (Oaxaca, North Sonora, Durangocity, Jalapa). — The form tritonia Edw. only differs in its darker upper surface, 

 the infuscated red-brown band of the hindwing and the absence of the white dots in this band. On the forewing 

 above and beneath there are sometimes only 3 white dots instead of 4. From Arizona and North Mexico. 



37. Genus : £liiia Blanch. 



In this genus 2 subcostal A^eins arise before the end of the cell on the forewing, the rest beyond it. 

 The costal and median of this wing are inflated at the base. The distal margm of the forcAAdng is undulate, that 

 of the hmdAAdng strongly deiitate and its inner margin excised. The genus consists of medium-sized and small 

 butterflies, and occurs in Chile and the adjoining and neighbouring countries.
