touches the cell, but does not enter it. Specimens with yellowish instead of deep red anal spot are ab.

common; a ? in coll. H. J. Adams. 



P. orabilis. Club of the antenna black; the black median band of the forewing does not extend 



to the marginal area, hindwing with long red anal spot, which reaches to the 2. median. ? not known. 



orabilis. Guatemala to West Colombia. — orabilis Btlr. The oblique discal band of the hindwing not marked above. 



isocharis. Costa Rica, Panama and (doubtfully) Guatemala. — isocharis li. & J. (17 a). Median band of the forewing 



always extending to the 2. median; the black marginal area of the hindwing broader than in orahillH, with 



an oblique spur pointing forwards, which corresponds to the posterior part of the discal band of the under 



surface. West Colombia. 



salvini. P. sal villi Bates (17 b). The black bands very much reduced, a narrow band in the middle of the 



cell, not extending bej'ond the median vein ; under surface glossy white ; hindwing with black-brown discal band 

 which runs almost straight from the costal margin to the red anal spot. 1. and 2. subcostals of the fore- 

 wing distallj' confluent with the costa. ? and larva not known. — Guatemala, British Honduras and 

 (doubtfully) Yucatan; most of the specimens in collections come from the woods in Northern Vera Paz, 

 Guatemala. 



callias P. callias k. & J. (^ Columbus Hew. non Kollar) (17 a). The short cell-band of the forewing much 



' broader than in salvini, the discocellular band also short and broad, confluent with the marginal area at the 

 lower angle of the cell; hindwing shorter than in the preceding species; the marginal tooth j^laced before 

 the thin tail prolonged, tliin. Hindwing beneath with black discal band, divided into two branches at the 

 extremity of the cell; this band in the ? moi-e distal, placed quite near to the marginal area, with which 

 it is almost confluent. — East Ecuador, Peru and the Amazons. 



P. dolicaon. Head and breast black, dotted with white. Black cell-band of the forewing oblique 

 as in callias, but still broader than in that species, a macular band between the cell and apex of the wing. 

 Hindwing romided, with thin tail, beneath with forked discal band, the proximal branch of the fork running 

 to the abdominal margin. The 1. subcostal anastomoses with the costa, 2. subcostal free as in callias. Larva 



hebnis. not known. Colombia to Paraguaj' and South Brazil. — hebrus li. ct J. The white subapical ai'ea of the 

 cell of the forewing naiTowed costad; hindwing more strongly rounded than in the other subspecies. Under 

 surface of both Avings purplish ; the discal area of the forewing divided into spots by broad black vein- 



deileon. streaks; hindwing yellowish. Colombia: Magdalena Valley and Cordillera of Bogota. — deileon Fldr. (17a). 

 Marginal band of the hindwing beneath narrow below the 1. radial, at the 2. radial only 1 — 2 mm broad, 

 the proximal branch of the discal band traversing the cell at the base of the 2. median, the greenish white 

 apical spot of the cell much larger than the spot placed at its costal side. East Ecuador to Bolivia and 

 Matto Grosso, and the Amazon downwards to Para; according to Feldek also from "Bogota", but his spe- 



tromes. cimens maj' be from the East side of the Cordillera of Bogota or from North-East Ecuador. — tromes 

 i?. & J. Green-white subapical area of the cell of the forewing above verj' faintly shaded with black; 

 marginal band of the hindwing broad, the green- white spots placed at the apex of the cell between the 1. 

 and 3. ra dials small; marginal band of the underside of the forewing below the 1. radial only about 1 mm 

 broad ; the proximal branch of the discal band of the hindwing placed somewhat distally to the base of the 

 2. median, green- white apical spot of the cell at most as long as the spot placed before it between the 

 dolicaon. 2. subcostal and the 1. radial. North Venezuela. — dolicaon Cr. Marginal band of the forewing beneath 

 at the 2. radial 3— 5 mm broad in the cf, somewhat narrower in the ¥; proximal edge of the marginal area 

 of the hindwing above remote from the cell; proximal branch of the discal band of the liindwing beneath 

 as in tromes distal to the base of the 2. median vein ; the brownish yellow postdiscal spot between the 2. sub- 

 costal and 1. radial placed transversel}' to the veins. Orinoco; Guiana. — deicoon Fldr. The white sub- 

 apical spots of the forewing large; the black marginal area of the hindwing narrower than in the other 

 forms. Paraguay; Brazil, from Rio Grande do Sul to Goj^az. 



iphitas, P. iphitas Hhii. (^ dolicaon Godt. non Cramer) (17 a). Similar to dolicaon ; yellow, the black marginal 



area of the forewing narrower posteriorly; the obhque discal band of the hindwing on the upperside present 

 from the black marginal area at least to the 2. subcostal. ? not known to us. — Brazil, in hilly country: 

 Espiritu Santo, Organ Mountains in the province of Rio de Janeiro, and Pernambuco. 



2. Genus: Suryades Bnr)n. 



Frons with short hairs. Tibiae naked, not wooll}-, furnished with a few bristles ; tarsi short. Antenna 

 with strong club and a row of sensorj^ grooves at each side. Stalk of the subcostal fork of the forewing 

 as long as the posterior branch (=: 5. subcostal vein), 1. radial before the middle of the cell; basal cell of 

 the hind\ving large, 2. subcostal vein very distal, branching from the cell at about the same height as the 

 2. median, apex of the cell rounded, the lower angle obtuse. The bipartite claspers of the cf not quite
