PEDALIODES. By G. Weymer. 259 



P. coca Sfgr. (55 a) is allied to jMUsia, but the row of dots consists of 6 and they are differently coca. 

 placed. From Gocapata in Boli-\aa (Gaelepp). 



P. entella Thieme. The distal margin of the forewing is emarginate below the apex. Above unico- entella. 

 lorous dark brown with grey fringes. Beneath: forewing light brown with rust-brown apex; hindwing dark 

 red-bro'mi, with light ferruginous marbling, a ferruginous band arising from the inner margin and spots of the 

 same colour beyond it between the median veins; a row of small black, white-pupilled dots in the same position 

 as in coca. Bafios in Ecuador (Haensch). 



P. proculeja Thieme has the distal margin of the forewing beloAv the apex emarginate as in entella. procideja. 

 Above unicolorous brown. Beneath lighter. Forewing with whitish costal spot and rust-brown apex. Hindwing 

 brown \\\t\\ light rust-bro^vn spots, yelloA^dsli towards the base, and an elongate-triangular, obscure, light 

 yellow half-band between the inner margin and the middle of the wing. A row of blackish dots with white 

 centres before the distal margin. From Urcos in Peru (Gaelepp). Tring Museum. 



P. tucca Thieme (55 a). Above unicolorous dark brown with broad scale-spot. On the underside of tucca.. 

 both wings some confluent spots forming more or less distinctly a chestnut-red submarginal band ; beside this 

 band a row of white dots. The figure has been prepared from an example in coll. Thieme. From the neighbour- 

 hood of the lUimani in Bolivia. — luperca Thieme is a form of tticca in which the scale-spot on the upper sur- h'perca. 

 face is half as broad. The ground-colour of the underside of the forewing is not light brown but dark brown 

 and the chestnut-red band is absent. Santa Inez m Ecuador. 



Pactyes Group. 



P. cledoina Thieme (55 b). Above glossy brown; the rust-red transverse band on the underside of the -ekthimx: 

 hindwing is anteriorly dusted with yellow and broken up into spots. A white dot is placed in cellule 2. From 

 Yungas de la Paz and Gillatincara (Bolivia). 



P. antonia Stgr. (55 a). The broad band on the upperside of the hindwing has a projecting branch antonia. 

 and is present in the same shape on the under surface, but here light ochre-yellow. San Antonio and Gilla- 

 tincara (Bolivia), Ghiri-Mayo (South-East Peru). — anina Stgr. is a form of antonia in which the band of the anina. 

 hind-wing is only represented on the upper surface by a short light grey spot at the costa and on the under 

 surface the lateral branch of this band is much shorter. Loco Valley in Bolivia. — quincedis Thieme (55 b), the qumcedis. 

 more copiously ornamented Peruvian form of antonia, differs from the latter in the large quadrate white 

 spot on the forewing above and beneath. The band of the hindwing is bright sulphur-yellow above, with 

 silky golden gloss, beneath as in antonia. Callanga in Peru. — exsanguis Thieme is a further form belonging exsanguis. 

 here, and differs from quincedis in having the whole of the markings snow-white. Gallanga, Peru. 



P. pactyes Hew. Above brown. Forewing with the fringes chequered with brown and white, hind- pactyes. 

 wing with an indistinct reddish wood-yellow median band which shows through here from the underside. 

 Beneath it is orange and somewhat angled. A white dot in cellule 2. Bolivia. — auristriga Thie^ne is a form auristriga. 

 in which the upper surface is unicolorous dark brown and the underside of the forewing bears a distinct costal 

 patch. The band of the hindwing is narrow and light saffron-yellow. Huancabamba in North Peru, serra serra. 

 Thieme, in which the yellow band forms a short point distad on vein 2, and stilla Thieme, in which this band stilla. 

 is broken up into separate spots, are forms of auristriga from the same locality. — spina foryn. nov. (55 b) is spina. 

 a further form belonging here, unicolorous black-brown above and showing on the underside of the forewing 

 a distinct whitish costal spot which is continued as a reddish brown band to the inner margin. Across the middle 

 of the hindwing runs an anteriorly white, posteriorly ochre-yellow band, which in cellule 6 forms a sharp angle 

 proximad, in cellule 4 an angle distad. In addition, opposite to the latter angle a white streak or tooth runs along 

 the median as far as the cell. In the somewhat lighter distal area a row of 5 white, black-edged dots, in the 5 

 (55 b) there is also a row of similar dots on the forewing. Found at the Quindiu Pass in Colombia (3800 m.) 

 in September by Fassl. 



P. chrysotaenia Hpffr. (55 b), a species similar to pactyes, may be recognized by the brown irroration chryso- 

 on the under surface of the hindwing, across which runs a golden yellow band from the anal angle round the ***'""• 

 cell to the co.sta, broad posteriorly, but in the anterior half only quite narrow and forming several angles. 

 From Peru (Ghanchamayo and Huancabamba). — fassli form. nov. (55 b), a similar form to the preceding, fassli. 

 has the distal margin of the forewing less undulate, and the ground-colour of the under surface is not marbled, 

 but dark brown. The hindwing has a white, bipartite costal spot and a half-band running up from the inner 

 angle, anteriorly narrowed and distally curved, also a few whitish clots between the end of this band and the 

 costal spot. From Monte Socorro, 3400 m., Colombia, July (Fassl). Named in honour of the discoverer.
