262 PEDALIODES. By G. Weymer. 



pliinfia. P. phitltia Heu\ The upperside is similar to that of the preceding species, as is also the underside of 



the fore'ning, except that it bears a small light brown spot in the cell and the apex is broadly light brown, 

 marbled with black. The hind^^'ing beneath has a straight white band before and a light brown band beyond 

 the middle, proximally margmed with white. A black spot with white centre is placed anteriorly in this band and 

 2 similar ones before the distal margin. From Jima m Ecuador. 

 philcjiera. P. philotcra Hew. (55 e). The dark red-yellow band forms an acute angle on the hindwing. On the 



under surface the hind"nTng is brown, crossed by 2 ochre-j^ellow parallel stripes which arise from a costal 

 margin of the same coloiu' and divide off a dark pointed triangle proximally and a long quadrate patch in the 

 middle of the wing. Colombia (Paramo de Guasco, 3000 m. [Stubel], Quindiu Pass, 3500 m. [Fassl]). 

 phoenicusa. P. phoenicusa Heic. One of the largest species of the genus, with an expanse of 70 mm. The forewing 



is pointed, the distal margin dentate. Brown. Forewing with a distally curved red-yellow transverse band 

 beyond the middle. Hindwing onty with a red-yellow spot at the costal margin. Beneath the forewing is as 

 above, except that it bears in addition a red-yellow spot in the cell and a grey spot at the apex. Hmdwing 

 beneath grey, marbled with brown, with a broad, lighter, dentate submarginal band, on which is placed a row 

 of white, black-edged clots. Ecuador. Very rare. Only in coll. Hewitson (Brit. Mus.). 



Physcoa Group. 



physcoa. P. physcoa Heir. Above brown with a large, obliquely placed, oval red-j^ellow patch at the anal angle 



of the forewing. Beneath the distal half of both wings is marbled with grey and brown, the red-yellow spot 



marulla. as above. From Bolivia (Yungas de la Paz, Corvico). — marulla Thieme (56 a) is a form of physcoa m which the 



red-yellow spot does not rise obliqueh' but steeply, thus rumiing nearly parallel with the distal margin. From 



Chanchamayo in Peru. 



ereiha. P. ereiba Fldr. (= Pron. pasicrates Hew.) (55 f). May be kno"OTa hj the broad red-brown submarginal 



band on both surfaces of the forewing, which is dark bro^^ai. Figured from Felder's type in the Tring Museiim. 



cremera. Bogota (Li>\TDIg), La Vega, Colombian East Cordillera, 2200 m. (Fassl). — cremera Godm. <& Salv. (erroneously 



called cremona on the plate in the "Biologia Centrali- Americana") is a form of ereiba Fldr. in which the 



band is more red-yellow and is curved basewards at the costal margin. On the under surface this band bears 



between the first and second median vein a small black, white-pupilled eye-spot. On the hindwing the last 



2 eye-shaped dots in the submarginal row before the anal angle are larger and more distinct. From the Volcan 



Irazu in Costa Rica. 



pra.vWiea. P, praxithea Heu\ (56 a). A large and beautiful species. The recWellow band is present also on the 



underside of the forewing. The hind\raig is brown beneath, striated with dark brown, with a transverse band ir- 



rorated with whitish beyond the middle. Bolivia, Ecuador (St. Rosario, Villagomes). 



iriarki. P. triaria Godm. db Salv. (56 a) is near to lyraxithea but is smaller and the red-yellow border of the 



hindwing extends to beyond the middle. Beneath the red-yellow band of the forewing is broader than above, 



and before the apex of the forewing, as well as before the distal margin of the hindwing, there is a row of 



white dots. From the Volcan Irazu in Costa Rica. 



pliila. P. phila Heu\ (55 f). Somewhat smaller even than the precedmg, but likewise similar to praxithea. 



The band on the hindwmg onlj' reaches median vein 3. The underside of the hindwing is uniformly marbled 



all over with light and dark bro^ai, only with the apex ochre-yellowish. Bolivia (Yungas de la Paz), Peru (Cal- 



phUacnls. langa). — philaenis Thieme is a form of phiJa in which the band of the forewing runs straight and reaches the 

 distal margin above the distal angle. Of the red-yellow spots at the apex of the hindwing only an obscure ochre- 

 yellow submargmal line remains. On the under surface there is a white triangle at the apex of the forewing. 

 From Bafios in Ecuador. 



pandaics. P. pandates Heu\ Above brown with a broad ochreous marginal band, which in the anterior half of 



the forewing is broken up into spots, in the posterior half of this wing and on the hindwing is placed quite near 

 to the distal margin, onlj^ leavuig a narrow brown border. On the under surface the band has the same 

 position and colour as above, but both wings are densely striated with dark bro\m. In the 9 the band is pale 



pawphos. 3'ellow and nearly twice as broad as in the J. Bolivia (Yungas de la Paz, Corvico, Rio Songo). — pamphos 

 Thieme (56 a) should probably be regarded as only a form of pandates with the band entirely absent on the 

 upperside of the forewing, but on the under surfade scarcely differing appreciably. From Yiuigas de la Paz 

 in Bolivia. 

 napaca. P. napaea Bates resembles on the upper surface the form pamphos, but is different beneath. Here 



both wmgs are traversed by a shai-ply defmed submarginal band, on the forewing grey, on the hind-wdng yellowish 

 with a pupilled eye-spot between the first and second median vems. Guatemala. 



Juba Group. 

 juba, P. juba Stgr. (= cyrene Sm. ct Kirhy) (56 b). Above brown, bej'-ond the middle of both wings with a
