from Rio de Janeii'o to Rio Grande do Sul, but also occurs (according to Stattdij^ger) in Colombia. Boisdtjval 

 in liis ,, Species General" gave Chile as locality. Butler and Elwes, however, do not mention the species 

 in their lists of the Chilian butterflies, and Reed expressly saj'^s in liis ,,Mariposas Chilenas" that it is not Clulian. 

 viilpecula. vulpecula Weym. (52 a) is a female form of tisiphone in which the macular band on the upperside is not yellowish 

 white but ferruginous red-brown. The cell of the forewing is also reddish browai. Only some small spots before 

 the apex of the forewing remam light yellow. The under surface is entii'ely brownish ochreous, which colour 

 has absorbed all the white spots and rays, only the black veins, spots and longitudinal rays between the veins 

 being still present. From Rio Grande do Sul. 



eupolis. E. eupolis Hew. (52 a. b). Forewing above brown with red-j^ellow longitudinal stripes at the base, a 



sulphur-j^ellow band bej'ond the middle and a spot of the same colour- before the apex. Hindwing red-yellow 

 with broad brown distal margin. Beneath as above, but lighter, the apex of the forewdng vni\\ black longitu- 

 duial lines, the hindwing with white, black-edged longitudmal rays between the veins in the marginal area. 

 flava. From Rio de Janeiro and Esperito Santo. — As flava form. 7iov. I introduce a form of eupolis m which the red- 

 yeUow colour of the forewing above and beneath is replaced by sulphur-yellow and the greater part of the hind- 

 wing is lemon-yellow; of the red-yellow colour of eupolis only a, stripe about -4 mm. in breadth beside the brown 

 distal margin remams. Beneath the lemon-yellow ground-colour of the liindwing extends nearly to the termen, 

 the brown border being absent, but the black Imes and veins, as well as the white, black-edged longitudinal 

 rays, are as in eupolis. From Esperito Santo. 



39. Genus: ZaMriiia Hew. 



Size and shape of Catagram.ma. Head small. Eyes naked. Palpus long and thin, twice as long as the 

 head, covered with long hairs. Antenna less than half the length of the forewing, with long club. Forewing: 

 costal and distal margins convex. Inner margin straight. Costal strongly swollen at the base and reaching 

 to the middle of the costal margin. Two subcostal veins arise before the end of the cell, which is somewhat 

 more than half the length of the wing. The upper discocellular is short, the middle forms an angle inwards. 

 The distal margin of the hindwing is semicircular, the cell less than haK the length of the whig. 



zujomala. Z. zigOHiala Hew. Above dark brown. Basal half of the forewing reddish orange with the veins black. 



Beneath as above, but lighter brown, the distal half of the forewing and the whole of the hindwmg, with all the 

 veins and the hues between them black, on the forewing 2 ochre-j'ellow spots at the costal margin beyond the 

 middle and a romid black spot between the 1st and 2ncl median vein. The hindwing has beyond the middle 

 an indistmct band, somewhat hghter than the ground-colour, running parallel with the distal margin. 54 mm. 

 From Jima in Ecuador. Coll. Hewitson (Brit. Mus.). 



40. Genus : ^abatog'a Stgr. 



Apex of the forewmg produced, not pointed but rounded, the inner angle on the contrary strongly round- 

 ed off, the costal margm nearly straight, hence the forewing is comparatively narrow. Only one subcostal 

 vein arises before the end of the cell, subcostal vein 4 runs into the costal margin immediately before the apex. 

 Hindwmg with an obtuse angle in the middle of the distal margin. The rest of the neuration of this wing is as 

 in Idioneura; the cell is distally as strongly rounded as m that genus. Palpus long, with long hairs. Antenna 

 thin with the club strongly thickened. Ej^es naked. 



mirabilis. S. mirabilis Sfgr. ^■. forewing bro'mi-black \vith a large, transparent white inner-margmal spot and 



a small elongate subapical one. Hindwing whitish, inner margin, base and costal margin denselj' dusted with 

 dark brown-grey; only the apical half is pure white, with a rovi of black spots (which, however, may also be ab- 

 sent). Beneath the forewing is dirty white, with the apical area red-brown or dull yellow-brown. Hindwing 

 browTi, towards the inner margin grey, on the median vein, the three median branches and the lower radial 

 are placed silvery stripes, some of which are bordered with brown. 5 black dots between the veins. Only 2 

 examples of the species are known, in coll. SxArDrsGER (now m the Zool. Museum in Berlm). Thej^ came from the 

 Thale:shorst collection at Hamburg and bear the locality-label: Sabatoga in Colombia. 



41. Genus: li^iuaiiopofla Westw. 



Palpus long, \\ith long, stiff, erect hairs, onh' the dorsal surface and the terminal joint short-haired. 

 Antenna with the club gradually thickened. A special distmguisliing mark of the genus is that the forelegs of 

 the male are very much aborted. Ej'^es slightly hairy. In the forewing the costal is inflated at the base, 

 the median only slightly thickened, the submedian not at all. Two subcostal vems arise before the end 

 of the cell and the 4th subcostal runs into the costal margin before the apex. The upper discocellular is short, 

 the middle and lower vaiy in the different species. Sometimes the middle, sometimes the lower, forms a proxi- 

 mally directed angle, from which arises a small vem running mto the cell. Occasional^, however, this veinlet
