256 PEDALIODES. By G. Weymer. 



antulla. P. atltulla Thieme has the extreme apex of the forewmg not rounded, but somewhat produced. The 



upper surface is unicolorous dark brown, the scale-spot does not extend into the cell. Beneath: forewing dark 

 grey-brown, only in the anterior distal half somewhat lighter with 3 white dots before the apex. Hindwing 

 dark red-brown, the posterior half of the inner and distal margins chestnut-red. Beyond the middle a distinct 

 lighter discal luie, at the apex a silver-white hook and a silvery dot below it, and in the middle of the costa a 

 2nd silvery dot. The $ has the markings paler. Limbani, Upper Peru. 



dauHs. P. daulis Thieme (54 b). Forewing with rather sharp apex, above unicolorous brown, the scale-spot 



small and triangular. Beneath lighter brown; the dark basal half of the forewing is separated from the distal 

 part by a light line, which does not quite reach the inner margin. Below the apex 4 white dots. On the hind- 

 wing the discal line is somewhat undulate and extends from the costal to the inner margin. A row of white dots 

 before the distal margin, the first widened into a spot. A further white dot beyond the middle of the costa. 

 From Callanga in the province of Guzco in Peru. 



IHitizathcs. P. patizathes Hew. (= palizethes Kirby) (54 c). Above unicolorous brown. Beneath marbled with 



somewhat lighter brown, with a reddish brown submarginal band on the forewing. The hindwing with a white 

 costal spot, joined to the costal margin by a fme point. From Ecuador (Bttckley), Quindiu Pass in Colombia, 

 2800 m. (Fassl). 



paeonidcs. P. paeonides Hew. (= Pron. porcia Hew. on He\vitson's plate) is near the" preceding species, but 



the forewing is not truncate. The upper surface is reddish brown, darkest in the middle of the forewing. The 

 under surface is reddish brown, the hindwing dark sprinkled. The forewing as well as the hindwmg has 

 a costal spot, but both are very small and dull white. A small, narrow dirty white stripe runs from the 

 3rd median vein to the inner margin near the anal angle, by which the species may be known. From 



costqnmc- Ecuador. — costipunctata form. nov. (54 c). I regard as the Colombian form of paeonides. It is deep black- 

 tata. brown above, only at the distal margin of the forewing somewhat lighter for a breadth of about 3 mm. 

 The small costal spots on the under surface consist on both wings of only a few white scales, and the 

 fine white transverse line in the posterior part of the hindwing is also composed of single, widely-separated 

 scales. Fringes dark brown. Distinguished from simmias, to which it has also some resemblance, by the 

 entire absence of the rust-red colour. From Monte del Eden, Ibague, Colombia, 2700 m., December (Fassl). 



pallantias. P. pallatitias Hew. is reddish brown above, darkest in the middle of the forewing. Beneath reddish 



brown, striated with dark brown. Costal spots large, that of the forewing 4 mm. in length, triangular, that 

 of the hindmng 10 mm., in the middle angularly bent, reddish yellow. From Ecuador. 



uniformis. P. unlformis spec. nov. (54 c). Forewuig with the apex rectangular. Above dark reddish brown, 



frmges in the anterior half of the forewing between the veins with whitish tips, otherwise brown. Under surface 

 of the same colour, with only a trace of a small, somewhat lighter brown costal spot at 23 of the costal mar- 

 gin visible on both wings. In addition a brownish white dot in cellule 2 of the hindwing. The white tips 

 of the frmges on the forewing as above. From Bolivia. 



Phanoclea Group. 



phanodea. P. phanoclea Hew. The species of this group are distinguished by the elongate hindwing. phanoclea 



is bro«'n above, towards the anal angle of the hindwing red-brown. Beneath the forewing is brown with a 

 short white band at the costa, the hindwing yellow-brown, striated with dark brown, traversed by a straight 

 wood-3'ellow median band and with a row of 4 black dots with white centres. Ecuador. 



povcia. P. porcia Hew. (= Pron. paeonides on Hewitson's plate) 54 c;. Recognizable by the light yellow 



half-band at the apex of the hindwmg beneath. The upper surface is unicolorous brown. Ecuador (Buckley), 



albutin. Colombia (Monte Socorro and Quindiu Pass, 3500 m., Fassl). — albutia Thieme is a somewhat larger form 

 with the light half-band on the underside of the hindwing twice as broad and not light yellow but pure white. 

 The costal spot on the undereide of the forewing is also pure white. From Peru. 



iMhiotin. P. phthiotis Hew. may be recognized by the tripartite white costal spot on the Mndwing beneath. 



The forewing has a small costal spot, which is indicated on the upper surface also. Otherwise the colouring 

 is brown. Ecuador. 



stmmian. p. simmias Thieme (54zv). Above unicolorous brown. Beneath little lighter, towards the apex of the 



forewing and at the anal angle of the hindwing mostly ferruginous. Forewing with indistinct costal spot. The 

 transverse band beyond the middle of the liindwing is likewise sometimes very indistinct, as also the light dots 

 in the disc. From Bolivia (Yungas de la Paz). 



Piletha Group. 

 piletha. P. piletha Heic. {= pedacia Stgr.) (54c, d). May be known by the white half-band, anteriorly running
