62 LEPTOPHOBIA. By J. RObee. 



has a row of small white submarginal spots, under surface dark, j'ellow markings darkened, the red basal 

 markings and j^ellow spots reduced. ? with j^ellow longitudinal central band on fore- and hindwing, a white 

 fal cocana. trans^■erse median band and white submarginal spots on both wings. — cocana Fruhst., from Ecuador, is 



onlj- distinguished from yubecnJa on the upperside hy the narrower black distal margin of the hindwing. The 

 under surface of the hindwing has white instead of reddish ground-colour, sharp dark marking and the yellow 

 pennagna. and red markings very much reduced. ? unknown. — permagna Fruhgt., from Peru (Chanchamayo), is simi- 

 lar to cocana, the red basal spots on the underside of the hindwing are enlarged and the submarginal 

 ^^^ inolione. spots larger and whitish yellow. — molione Fruhst., from Paraguay, is the most southern subspecies and 

 has the least markings of any; it is smaller than ruhecula and has a much narrower, lighter grey-black distal 

 margin to the hindwing, which is proximally broken up into fine blue-grey scaling; the light grey under 

 surface of the hindwing recalls viardi in the fine yellow stripes between the nervures. 



_jv^ viardi. P. viardi Bdv. (= habra DoiiU.) (20b), from Honduras, is white above in the o", with Ijlack, white- 



spotted apical and distal-marginal markings and a large black median spot on the forewing, which however 

 is sometimes wanting, and entirely white hindwing. Underside of the hindwing similar to inandela, but much 

 lighter and the light yellow submarginal spots diverging from the margin from the middle of the distal 

 margin towards the inner margin, markings of the forewing beneath as above, only much paler. ? above 

 and on the under surface of the forewing black-brown with vivid yellow bands and spots, under surface of 

 .^// laogore. the hindwing as in the cf, only darker. — laogore Godin., from Mexico and Guatemala, has lighter markings 

 on the underside of the hindwing and has no sulphur-3'ellow markings there. 



5. Genus: Ijeptophobia Bth: 



This genus cannot be maintained in the wide Kmits laid down by the author, but may be defined 

 according to the characters observed in the genotype eleone D.-H., with which only a few of the 15 species 

 included b}' Butler are congeneric. The principal characters of this genus consist in the formation of the 

 precostal, which is curved proximally, and in the shortness of the middle discocellular, which is scarcely '/* 

 as long as the weakly curved and less obliquely placed lower discocellular. The subcostal is four-branched 

 with two branches before the apex of the cell, the upper radial is stalked with the subcostal almost to the 

 half. The long antenna (reaching to 'jz of the margin of the forewing) is not characteristic for the Lepto- 

 pJiobia-s\wcies, but occui'S also in some species of Pieris. 



-^/■^ eleone. L. eleone l).-H. {— suadella Fldr) (20c), from Colombia and Venezuela, has the forewing pointed 



and the hindwing produced at the anal angle. The cf is lemon-coloured above with broad black distal margin 

 and narrowly black hindmargin on the forewing, somewhat more than the anterior half of the cell being 

 also black. The 2 is light yellow on the hindwing, almost white on the forewing, but marked hke the d' , 

 -^'^ ochracea. though ?? also occur with light ochre-yellow forewing and lemon-yellow hindwing: ab. ochracea furm. nov. 

 The under surface of the hindwing and the apex of the forewing are }rellowish white, with a pearly gloss, 

 the rest of the forewing light yellow, the hindwing has two small black spots on the discocellular and small 

 ..//^ doubledayi. black niarginal spots. — In doubledayi Step: i. l, from Bolivia, the tooth in the black distal margin is shorter 

 -^^if iiicn. and the under surface of the forewing deeper yellow. — luca Fndi.^t., from Bolivia and Ecuador, has a 

 -///" conica. narrower black distal margin and no black border at the inner mai'gin. — conica Fi-iihf-i., from Colombia, 

 ciiremoides. is an aberration of cleo»e, in which the tooth in the black distal margin is prolonged. — euremoides is the 

 name given by Fbvhstokfee to that form which is only margined with black towards the apex and in which 

 the cell is lightly scaled Avith black only at the costal margin. — The butterflies fly over fields and in 

 thickets and are fond of being driven by the wind. 

 ■/// smitlii. L. smithi Kirhu (20 c), from Bolivia and Peru (3000 m.), has the wing-shape as in druiw, is lemon- 



yellow above in the &, hght oiange->ellow in the ?, the distal-marginal markings are much narrower and 

 the cell is not coloured with black. The under surface is more greenish than in eleone and the black marginal 

 spots are wanting, j y^^-,Y^<-^(^eA,<-T^\<,.ff<.^^). 



''f eucosma. L. eucosma Ersch. (20 c), from Peru, is larger than smUhi, has the same yellow upper surface with 



black apical marking on the forewing, the underside is much lighter and has small black dots on the veins 

 at the distal margin of the hindwing. — This species is only known to me from the figure, consequently I 

 cannot state positively whether it belongs in this genus. 



■f^fipinara. L. pinara Fldr. (20 c), from Colombia (and Peru?) (3000 m.), has the peculiar form apparent in the 



figure. Upper surface white with black apical and distal-marginal markings, black median spot on the fore- 

 Aving and slight traces of black colouring at the anal angle of the hindwing. Under surface white^ on the 

 discocellular of each wing a black spot, as well as small black marginal spots on the hindwing, the latter 

 7// oiantheia. and the apex of the forewing glossy. — oiantheia Fndis/., from Peru, is smaller and has a narrower black 

 distal margin on both wings, smaller median spot on the forewing and pure white apex to the forewing beneath.
