274 CORADES. By G. Weymer. 



beneath brown with silvery striation at the apex and 3 red spots in the disc. Hindwing beneath striated 

 with silver tlu'oughout, with a broad yellow band across the middle, fluminalis Btlr. may probably be regarded 

 as the 2 of 7ja?!,wo?2M. Upper surface brown with 2 white spots at the costa and 3 red-yellow ones between 

 or beside the median veins. Hindwing with 3 ferruginous streaks between the veins. Beneath the forewing 

 has paler spots. Hindwing ochre-yellow striated with copper-brown and with copper-bro\^'n median and marginal 

 vloas. bands. Venezuela. Butler does not give the locality of his fluminalis. ■ — ploas Thierne (59 d) is the 

 Colombian form of pannonia. In it the 3 red-brown spots on the underside of the forewing are much dark- 

 ened and scarcely visible, the hindwmg has instead of the broad yellow band a silvery grey one, which, however, 

 is largely covered with brown striation. The ? was found by Fassl and differs from the ^^ in having 2 small 

 brownish white spots on the brown upper surface, placed at the costal margin, one 9, the other 17 mm. 

 from the apex, the latter bipartite. Apex and distal margin broadly lighter. The under surface is coloured 

 domhia. like that of the o , except that the white colour is somewhat more extended. A second form of the $ (domina 

 form, nov.) (59 d), in addition to the 2 somewhat more distinct white spots, has on the upperside of the fore- 

 wing a row of 4 red-yellow spots and on the hindwing a row of red-brown ones, and below them a red-brown 

 stripe which runs to before the tip of the tail. The distal margin is also narrowly bordered with red-brown. The 

 under surface is as in the first female form. Colombia (Alto de las Cruces), 2400 m., West Cordillera. Accord- 

 ing to Fassl the egg of ploas is somewhat larger than that of Pap. machaon, bomb-shaped, bone-white, smooth 

 at the base, otherwise much pitted. 

 argentaia. C. argentata Bflr. {— pannonia Hew. part.) (59 d). Above brown, distally lighter. Forewing beneath 



with 3 golden brown spots. Hindwing beneath with dark basal and median areas, anteriorly separated by a 

 short silver line and distally bordered by a somewhat curved one. Bolivia. 

 mclania. C. melatiia Stgr. The tails are somewhat shorter, the upper surface unicolorous glossy bronze-brown. 



Under surface dark brown, forewmg with a small whitish spot between the first and second median veins, 

 which is sometimes absent. The hindwing is entirely covered with fine, short, silvery transverse streaks, so 

 that the dark median band can scarcely be recognized. Bolivia. 

 cjjhele. C. cybele Btlr. (60 b). Above unicolorous black-brown. Beneath the species may be known by the 



scmiphna. golden broA\ai hammer-shaped spot on the forewing. Colombia. — semiplena Thieme is a form with the 

 posterior half of the cell on the forewing beneath filled up with golden brown along the median. Peru. — ■ 



iusciplaga. fusciplaga Btlr. is probably a further form of cybele; the underside of the forewing bears a very small light 

 broAvn spot in place of the golden brown hammer-shaped spot. According to Btjtlee the upper surface is similar 

 to that of sareba. Peru. 

 inedeba. C. medeba Hew. (60 a) has shorter tails and in the o a unicolorous brown upper surface. 



On the under surface recognizable by the red-yellow longitudmal stripe in the cell of the forewing and some 

 red-yellow spots behind it in the disc. The $ has on the upperside a row of small, obscure reddish spots 



columbina. on the forewing and also some similar spots in the disc of the hindwing. From Colombia to Bolivia. ■ — columbina 

 Stgr. (60 b) is a medeba form in which there is only a small spot in place of the red-yellow longitudinal 

 stripe on the under surface. Occurs not only in Colombia but also in Bolivia among the type-form. 

 sareba. C. sareba Here. (= melusina Stgr. i. I.) (60 b) may be known by the brownish yellow basal half of 



the forewdng beneath. Upper surface dark brown, the forewdng with an indistinct submarginal row of some- 

 what lighter spots. Bolivia. 

 chirone. C. chirone Heiv. ($ = laminata Btlr.) ((J 60 a under surface, on the plate erroneously called ulema, 



$ 59 d upper surface). The (J is unicolorous bro^vn above. Beneath differing from ulenui in having in the poste- 

 rior half of the forewing onlj' 2 light yellow spots, not 3 as in ulema, and in the light band on the hindwmg 

 between the base and the middle onlj' reaching the median, whilst in ulema it extends nearly to the base of the 

 tail. The $ (laminata Btlr.) has on the upperside of the forewing a submarginal row of yellow-brown spots, 

 which in the anterior part of the hindwing are united into a broader half-band. Beneath the markings 

 are similar to those of the ^, which we figure, but at the inner angle of the forewing there are 3 larger, ochre- 

 yellow spots in place of the 2 in the ^. The hindwmg is marbled with lighter in the basal and median 

 areas and instead of the ochre-j'^ellow stripe in the middle of the silver-white band there is here a brown 

 and white marbled stripe. Both sexes of this species, which is at present in but few collections, were found 

 by Fassl in July on Monte Socorro (Colombia) at an altitude of 3500 m. 

 xdcma. C. ulema Hew. (59 d under surface, erroneously called chirone q on the plate). Accordmg to Hew- 



ITSOX the upper surface is unicolorous brown, the example figured here is likewise brown, but has a red-brown 

 gloss throughout, with no trace of a band. The examjDles with distinct light submarginal band, mentioned by 

 Thteme, are thus transitional to the form tripunctata. Beneath similar to chirone, the differences have been 

 given above under the latter. The $ has on the upperside a submarginal row of red-bro^vn spots on the fore- 

 ^^'ing, a narrow, continuous red-brown band on the hmdwing. On the under surface 4 red-yellow spots are placed 

 in the posterior part of the forewmg, on the hindwing the first band is anteriorly white, posteriori}' sprinkled 

 with brown scales, hence indistinct, the outer band is light ochre-yellow, basalty margmed with white, 



tripimclaia. and contains 3 fine black dots. From Bolivia and Peru (Huancabamba, Limbaui). — tripunctata Weym.
