The i-t phaeton Liic is similar to the cf. The second form, ?-f. syndemis nov., has a broad bhiish band syndemis. 

 on the hindwing; the discal spots of the upper surface of the forewing are bluish, the middle ones only 

 indicated, those of the under surface are onlj'- represented by a few indistinct httle spots; hindwing above 

 with distally convex bluish crescents outside of the discal band; discal band of the underside reduced, con- 

 sisting of small, black-edged red spots; tail long; oiae specimen, from Bogota, in the Tring Museum. — 

 COroebus FIdr. cf: the ceU-spot of the upper surface of the forewing is absent, or it is more or less distinct coroebus. •' 

 but diffuse (ab. philocleon Fldr); the discal spot between the 3. radial and 1. median usually more proximal p/i/Zocfeon. 

 than in phaeton, the submarginal spots smaller; on the hindwing the discal band broken up into spots; the 

 3. and 4. spots reduced; the dentition of the harpe more regular and the dorsal process longer than in 

 phaeton The form of the $ similar to the & is ?-f. dione /i'. dr- J.; in the second form, the ?-f. coroebus Flclr., dione. 

 the markings of the upperside are bluish and the discal band on the upperside of the hindwing is strongty 

 widened posteriorly, also the discal spots of the hindwing beneath are reduced. East side of the Cordillera 

 of Bogota: Northern Venezuela. — cleotas Graij (= lycortas Fldr). cf : discal band of the upper surface cleotas. "^ 

 of the forewing more oblique than in the other subspecies; a row of nebulous bluish grey spots between 

 the cell and the submarginal spots; harpe terminating in a two-pronged fork, whose prongs are straight and 

 approximately of equal length. In the ? the middle vaginal lobe is short, the side one narrow and pointed. 

 The two colour varieties are: ?-f. cleotas Gray, similar to the cf, and ?-f. adaea R. & J., in which both wings adaea. [/^ 

 above have a discal and a postdiscal row of bluish patches. Brazil, from the province of Rio de Janeiro 

 (Petropohs) to Rio Grande do Sul : according to Boisduval also in Uruguay, but the statement appears to us doubtful. 

 P. aristeus. Cell-spot of the forewing very large, the discal spot between the 3. radial and 2. median 

 very long, forming with the cell-spot a large pale yellow area. The ? resembles the o^, or the markings 

 of the upperside are bluish and the discal band of the hindwing is broad ; both forms on the underside 

 with lai'ge, more or less distinct pale yellow cell-patch. South America and Panama. — aristeus Cr. (cf ^ aristeus. 

 bari Obedh). o^: the cell-spot of the forewing rhombiform, the discal spot placed before the 1. radial long, 

 the next extending almost to the submarginal row, the third small and indistinct; discal band of the hind- 

 wing above only distinct posteriorly. Only one form of the S known (Cramer's figure) : forewing with long, 

 indistinct grey-blue longitudinal streaks and hindwing with very broad bluish band. French and Dutch 

 Guiana; one cf in coll. Charles Obeethur. — ctesiades R. (k J. Cell-patch of the forewing longish, nearly desiades. .-' 

 reaching to the base, two large, long discal spots, as well as a long triangular spot behind the 2. median 

 and the cell; discal spots of the upper surface of the hindwing small, red. Upper Amazon. — desmias B. & J. d^mias.-J 

 Cell-spot shorter and narrower than in cfeaiades, a small spot in the apex of the cell, a second distallj' to 

 it, two large discal spots and behind the base of the 2. median a spot which is smaller than in ctesiades; 

 hindwing as in bifias. Province of Sao Paulo, Brazil; one cf in coll. F. Dctcane Godman. — bitias Godt. bitias. 

 f= eurotas FIdr.; ctesias Fldr.; lacordairei Borre) (13a). cf : cell-spot of the forewing more transverse than 

 in the preceding subspecies: discal band of the hindwing never complete, only indicated, or interrupted in 

 the middle. ? dichromatic: ?-f. bitias Godt. resembles the cf; ?-i. therapes R. & J- is similar to the ?-f. ttierapes. 

 aristeus, but the bluish streaks of the forewing are shorter and the band of the hindwing is narrower, also 

 the cell-spot of the under surface of the forewing is partly pale yellow. Common on the east side of the 

 Andes of Ecuador and Peru; upper course of the Rio Negro; Bogota and Chiriqui; the last two localities 

 appear to us doubtful. — vilcanotUS R. <& J- Cell-spot of the hindwing and costal spot of the hindwing vilcanotus. 

 brownish yellow. Vilcanota, South Peru. — coelebs R. & J. Cell-spot of the forewing narrow, transverse, coelebs. 

 the discal spot between the 1. and 2. median narrow, triangular, not reaching to the cell, the submarginal 

 spots large, indistinct grey-blue spots between them and the cell; hindwing with bi'oad pale j^ellow discal 

 band, submarginal spots large, pale yellow. On the underside the cell-spot of the forewing smaller than in 

 bitias and lenaeus. North-west Peru and Northern Central Peru (Tambillo , Chachapoyas), as well as South- 

 west Ecuador. — lenaeus Doubl. Cell-spot of the forewing transverse, not so oblique as in hitias, a discal Isnaeus. 

 spot before the 3. radial, the discal spot behind the 1. median proxiraaliy narrowed and abbreviated; discal 

 band of the hindwing complete, or narrowly interrupted. Rather common in South-East Peru and East 

 Bolivia, the ¥ not known or at least not described. 



P. judicael Oberth. (13b). cf: cell-spot of the forewing narrow, transverse and like the 4 discal Judicael. 

 spots brown-yellow; hindwing strongly dentate, tailed. Cell-spot of the under surface of the forewing large, 

 brown-yellow, the submarginal spots small; discal band of the hindwing dirty white, orange-red distally. — 

 Only one cf in coll. ObeethUb, from Huambas, Amazonas, North Peru. 



P. garamas. (f: both wings on the upperside with a pale yellow discal band and a row of sub- 

 marginal spots; margin of the hindwing strongly dentate, with spatulate tail; discal band of the underside 

 of the hindwing brownish orange distally. The ? similar to the cf, or the yellow discal band is absent and 

 the hindwing has very strongly curved, more or less reddish, discal crescents. Central America. — ab- abdems. 

 derus Uopff. C12bj. cf: forewing with 4 submarginal spots, often with indication of a fifth, the discal band 

 of the hindwing enters the cell, the submarginal spots are absent; the orange-red teeth of the discal band 

 of the hindwing beneath of equal breadth on both sides of the veins, shorter than in the following sub-
