Parepa Group. 



P. parepa Heu\ (55 e). Recognizable by the narrow red-yellow macular band on the upper surface parepa. 

 of both -n-ings. Beneath the forewing is exactly as above except that the apex is marbled with grey. The 

 distal half of the hii\dwing is similarly marbled. The dark brown basal area forms a right angle in the middle. 

 From Ecuador (Huigera, Guishapa, Loja). — milvia Thieme is probably the Peruvian form of jjarejM. The milvia. 

 red-yellow band is confined to the anterior part of the foremng and is entirely absent on the hinclwing. Distal 

 half of the hmdwing grey-brown beneath, with 2 black ocelli standing out distinctly. From Chosico in Peru 

 (S50 m.). There is onh" one female example, in the Tring Museum. 



P. phaea Hew. Both wings traversed beyond the middle by a brownish red-yellow band, which on the phaea. 

 forewing is divided into oval spots. In the $ the bands are broader and not divided on the forewing. The 

 under surface is similar to that of the figured ochrotaenia, but the bands are narrower. Ocanna in Colombia. — 

 ochrotaenia FIdr. (55 e) is a form of phaea m which the band on the upper surface is not divided; in the $ ochrotaenia. 

 it is broader (6 mm.) and more ochre-yellow. From Bogota (Colombia). — fuscata Fld7\ (55 e), a further form fuseata. 

 belongmg here, has the broad band on the upper surface strongly suffused with smoke-brown, obliterating its 

 edges. On the under surface, on the other hand, the band is not ochre-yellow but more red-yellow. From 

 Bogota (Muzo). Paramo de Guasco. — In amafania Thieme, another fhaea form, the red-yellow band is placed amajama. 

 nearer to the margin and runs parallel with it throughout. Its margins are smooth, nowhere interrupted and 

 not angled, mereh' somewhat ventrieose in the middle of the hindwing. Beneath the band is light ochre-yellow 

 and there is a white spot at the costa of the hindwing and another at the anal angle. From Oallanga (province of 

 Cuzco) in Peru. Coll. STAUDrNGER in the Berlin Museum. 



P. alusana Hew. The red-yellow band is placed somewhat beyond the middle. It is broadest in the alnsana. 

 middle of the forewing, narrowest at the inner margin of this wing; at radial 1 on the hindwing it is inter- 

 rupted on the upperside and forms aright angle on the underside. There are also here in the distal area of the 

 hindwing some oclu-e-j-ellow spots and a row of white dots. From Alusana in Ecuador (Coll. Hbwitson, Brit. 

 Mus.). 



P. praxia Hew. Above bro^v^l with a red-brown band beyond the middle of the forewing, running parallel praxia. 

 with the distal margin, and a red-bro\^ai costal spot on the hindwing. On the under surface of the forewing this 

 band is much broader posteriorly and is white at its origin, on the costal margin. A red-brown spot is placed 

 in the cell. Fram Jima in Ecuador. 



P. thiemei Stgr. (55 f). The dark red-yellow band, which runs from the costal margin of the forewing thiemei. 

 to the inner margin of the hindwing, is somewhat lighter on the underside of the forewing, but on the hindwing 

 ochre-yellow, covered with brown speckling. In the $ the band is about a third broader beneath than in the (J. 

 From the Quindiu Pass in Colombia (3800 m.). Thieme, Fassl. 



P. peruda Heir. Above browii with a broad, straight red-yellow band beyond the middle, which is peruda. 

 pointed at the costal margin of the forewing and the inner margin of the hindwing. Beneath the band is even 

 broader than above, on the forewing red-yellow, on the hindwing nearly white, somewhat marbled with brownish. 

 The distal margin of both wings is dusted with grey. Amazon. Coll. Brit. Mus. 



P. symmachus Godm. & Salv. Above dark brown with a dark red-yellow band 3 mm. in breadth symmachus. 

 running across both wangs near to and parallel with the distal margin. On the underside of the forewing the band 

 is broader and lighter red-yellow. On the hindwing beneath 2 ochre-yellow stripes occupy the place of the ba,nd. 

 Sierra Xevada of Santa Maria in Colombia. 



P. ornata Sm. (= phaeaca Stgr.) (55 f). The red-yellow band of the forewing is as strongly curved omafa. 

 proximally on the underside as on the upper. The hindwing beneath has an ochre-yellow transverse band, which 

 forms a right angle on the lower radial. Beyond it is placed a row of white dots in brown rings. Merida (Venezuela). 



P. phaeina Stgr. (= Pronoph. phaea var. Hew.) (51 b). On the forewing the band is only very weakly plmema. 

 indicated, but on the hindwing it is bright red-yellow and occupies almost half the breadth of the wing. On 

 the under surface this band is light ochft-yellow on the hindwing, proximally straight-edged and distally dentate ; 

 finely sprinkled with brown, with a row of white, brown-bordered dots. Pacho (3000 m.) in the Colomb. East 

 Cordilleras (Fa.s.sl); Central Cordilleras of Colombia (Thieme). 



P. pelinna Hetv. (55 e). May be known by the obliquely placed yet straight band of the forewing. The pelmna. 

 band of the hindwing is anteriorly constricted, and forms in the middle 2 distally directed teeth. The colour 

 of the bands is bright ochre-yellow. Beneath the bands are the same, only much lighter. Ecuador (Rosario, 

 Villagomes, Macas). 



P. parrhoebia Hew. Recognizable by the rose-red colour of the band, which forms two angles on the parrhoebia. 

 forewing and one on the hindwing, and has its proximal edge quite irregularly dentate. On the under surface 

 the forewing is as above, on the hindwing the band is broken up into several light brown spots. From Galgalan 

 in Ecuador.
