PEDALIODES. By G. Weymer. 255 



one before, the other behind the middle. At the distal side of each of these bands is placed a row of quadrate 

 whitish yellow spots, the first of which are close to the costal margin. From Merida (Venezuela) and Bo- 

 gota (Colombia). — mara Thieme is a form of Tpanyasis in which the underside of the forewing lacks the wood- vwra. 

 yellow line beyond the middle, which is replaced by bronze-yellow dots placed parallel with the distal margin. 

 The hiiidwing is m parts somewhat copper-red. From Bolivia (Yungas de la Paz). 



P. drymaea Heir. (= Daedalma d., angularis Btlr.) (54 a). The upper surface is dark brown, in the dnjmaca. 

 distal third of the %ving changing gradually into light brown. The fringes brown, chequered with light brown. 

 On the under surface the apex of the forewing is strongly dotted with white, before it a yellowish line simi- 

 larly as in panyasis. The marbling of the hindwing is much darker than in panyasis and is condensed into 

 dark transvei^se bands. Between these is placed at the costa a whitish spot, which is continued as a straight, 

 light browai stripe to the middle of the wing and is here lost in the marbling. By this stripe the species is easy 

 to recognize. The ? is like the q. Hewitson gives Colombia as locality, where Fassl has also recently found 

 both sexes at the Cipaque and at the Quindiu Pass at altitudes of 3000 m. This is interesting inasmuch 

 as Thieme questioned its occurrence in "New Granada", i. e. Colombia. The species occurs also in Bo- 

 livia (Yungas de la Paz) and Peru (Agualani). — rahab Thieme, the Peruvian form of drymaea,, is somewhat rahnb. 

 larger than the latter, with the wings less dentate and the distal margin of the forewing less produced. 

 The upper surface is unicolorous bronze-brown, not lighter distally. Beneath the wings are lighter brown 

 with rust-red apex and grey atoms at the costal margin. The scheme of markings on the hindwing is as in 

 drymaea, but darkened with rust-brown. A small spot on the costa and a larger one at the apex are distinct- 

 ly lighter. Peru (Chaliabamba, 3300 m.). 



P. tomentosa spec. nov. (54 b). Size of drymaea, the apex of the forewing somewhat more produced, tomentosa. 

 distal margin of the hind-ning undulate. AboVe black-brown, the fringes lighter brown between the veins. 

 Beneath olive-brown, the costal margin of the forewing with several small, white-powdered spots before 

 the apex. Hindwing finely striated with dark brown all over, with 2 indistinct brown dentate lines before 

 and beyond the middle. The inner and distal margins are sprinkled near the apex with fine whitish grey pow- 

 dering, suggesting the appearance of mildew. In cellule 2 and in cellule 3 a white dot. From Bogota. 2800 m. 

 Discovered by Fassl. 



P. muscosa Thieme (54 b). Above brown with large, darker scale-spot on the forewing and a whi- musco'ia. 

 tish spot on the costa of the hindwing. Beneath the forewing is olive-brown with a yellow-brown submarginal 

 band, which is anteriorlj^ bent basewards. Before the apex a white-dusted triangle and 3 white dots. Hind- 

 wing similar to panyasis, marbled with light and dark brown, in the anterior part strongly dotted with white, 

 so £ks to form in the basal area 2 lighter bands and before the apex a lighter half-band. Bolivia (Yungas 

 de la Paz, Corvico, San Antonio), Colombia (Alto de las Ances, 2200 m., Fassl). 



P. jephtha Thieme (54b) resembles muscosa in the scheme of markings, but the forewing is not round- Jephtha. 

 ed, but forming an acute angle at the apex, its distal margin not produced, but nearly straight; at the same 

 time distinctly and sharply dentate. Above unicolorous brown. On the under surface of the forewing the 

 apex is not spotted with pure white but powdered with grey and a row of grey spots is placed along the an- 

 terior part of the costal margin. Hindwing dark marbled and crossed by 2 distinct white oblique bands, with 

 dentate margins, one from the middle of the inner margin straight to the middle of the costa, the other 

 as a half-band from the inner angle to the 3rd median vein. From the Cordilleras on the coast of Colombia 

 (province of Antioquia). 



P. tiiveonota Btlr. Above pitch-black. Forewing beneath ferruginous with brown costa and a qua- niceonota. 

 drate brown spot at the end of the cell, behind it a conical yellow spot; a grey submarginal band with 3 white 

 dots; distal margin broadly brown. Hindwing beneath olive-brown, sprinkled with black and silver-grey 

 dots, across the middle a silver-grey band which becomes white at the inner margin, a silver-grey spot at the 

 apex, several small spots of the same colour before the distal margin and between them a row of silvery dots. 

 FronfHuasampilla in Peru (3000 m.) (Whitely). Only in the British Museum. 



Pammenes Group. 



P. pammenes Hew. (54 b) may be recognized by the reddish cinnamon colouring in the distal half of pammenes. 

 both wings above. The distal margin in the forewing is rounded, the fringes chequered with brown and white. 

 The under .surface is similar to the upper, but lighter. On the costa of the forewing behind the middle a light 

 brown spot and before the apex 3 white dots. Hindwing red-brown with a broad, light red-brown submar- 

 ginal band, dentate at the edges and striated with dark brown, in which is placed a row of white dots in 

 black rings. In the middle of the costa a narrow whitish spot. Bolivia (Rio Chaco, Rio Tanampaya, 

 San Antonio). — garleppi Thieme is the mountain form of pammenes, in which the submarginal band on the yarlepiji. 

 under surface is indistinct and the eye-spots placed in it are indistinct or entirely absent. From Cillutincara 

 (3000 m.) and other high mountain localities in Yungas de la Paz (Bolivia).
