ITABALLIA. By J. Kober. 63 



L. nephthis Hopff. ('20 c), from the mountains of Peru (3000 m.) and Bolivia, does not differ mater- nephthis.'^'^'^ 

 ially in shape from the P/cr/s-species. The upper surface is white, the forewing has rather broad l)lack mai'k- 

 ing at the apes and the distal margin, the anterior half of the cell being also black, and the hindwing 

 has a narrow black margin. The under surface is white, on the hindwing somewhat glossy, the forewing has 

 the marking as above, but somewhat reduced, the apex is light, the hindwing has a small black median 

 spot as well as a few verv small black marginal spots at the posterior part of the distal margin. — aymara aymara. -f^^ 

 Fniiisf. is an aberration with quite narrow black distal margin on the hindwing and interrupted subapical 

 band on the forewing. 



L. erinna Hopff. (20 d), from Peru, is likewise only known to me from the figure, hence I am not ednna.-/'^^ 

 certain ot its generic position. The upper surface is shghtlj' yellowish white with rather broad black mark- 

 ings at the apex and the distal margin and large black median spots on the forewing, the hindwing with 

 onh' very small black marginal markings. Underside similar, onlj' with bluish instead of black apical and 

 marginal markings on the forewing; hindwing with small black dots at the distal margin. The ? is A'ellower 

 above and beneath and has paler and somewhat more copious black markings at the distal margin of the 

 forewing. 



L. cinnia Fruhsf. (20 d). from Ecuador, has white upper surface with rather broad black markings cinnia. "^-^^ 

 at the apex and the distal margin, a black median spot and black costal margin on the forewing and also 

 an interrupted black marginal line on the hindwing. The under surface is white with a black median spot 

 on the forewing and strongh' silver}- gloss on the whole of the hindwing and at the apex of the forewing. 

 2 unknown. — falledra Fnihsf., from Colombia, has a broader black costal margin on the forewing, espe- falledra. -f^-^^ 

 cially in the distal part of the cell, and a broader black distal margin. 



6. Genus: Itaballia Kmje. 



The character of this genus consists in the formation of the precostal, which is not placed at right 

 angles to the costal as in Tivri^, but is stronglj' curved and in its distal part runs almost parallel to the 

 costal; otherwise it has no structural differences from Ph'i'is. From Perrlnjhri^, with which it was united until 

 recenth", it is distinguished \)\ the four-branched subcostal. 



I. demophile L. (= raolphea Cr) (20 e), occurring from Colombia to Paragua}-, is white above in demophile. "^-^ 

 the z . with black apex and black subapical half band, hindwing verj' narrowly margined with black, under 

 surface of the forewing white, marked as above, but the subapical band reaching to the costal margin, hind- 

 wing yelloAvish with verj- broad black-brown margin. ? abo\e and beneath yellowish, the subapical band 

 broader and reachini; the costal margin above also, costal and distal margins of the hindwing broadly grey- 

 black. — calydonia B<h-., from Central America and Venezuela, is somewhat smaller, less marked with black calydonia. -/^o 

 and the under surface of the hindwing without anj' dark markings. — amathonte Cr. is a very dark (j^&v- amathonte. -^-^f 

 haps rainy seasonal) form of the ?. — charopus Fnihsf., from Rio Waupes, is distinguished by a narrow black charopus. ^-^ 

 costal margin of the forewing and the lesser development of the subapical spots, distal margin of the hind- 

 wing with moderately broad black scaling, veins suffused with black, beneath the subapical band of the fore- 

 wing and the distal margin of the hindwing narrower. — niphates Vridnl:. has the black spots much niphates. ^*/^ 

 narrowed, hindwing with quite naiTow antemarginal line, under surface of the forewing also less marked with 

 black, hindwing diffusely margined with brown-black. Para. — nimietes Fnihsf., from Bahia, is distinguished nimietes. "^^^ 

 from demopliili; by narrow-er and more sharply defined yellowish transverse bands on the forewing, under 

 surface with longer subapical band. — huebneri Fnihsf., from Rio de Janeiro, is similar to amafhonfe. — Imebneri. ^^/ 

 niseias Finhst., from Paraguaj', is similar to calydonia: small, distal margin of the upper surface broader, niseias. -^^^ 

 markings otherwise as in cliaropn^, under surface similar to niphafes, but the black distal margin extending 

 to the anal angle, hindwing with a rather broad, complete band of uniform width, which is sharply defined 

 proximally. — minthe Fnthst., from Ecuador, is essentially smaller than charopuH, the wings are more minthe. '^■^^ 

 roundish, the upper surface of the forewing with extended black apical spot, the hindwing however more nar- 

 rowly margined with black and in the anal angle with a narrow, denselj* scaled area, under surface of the 

 hindwing pure white, the black distal margin narrower; ? above with very broad white areas, the base of 

 the cell yellowish with grey scaling, hindwing mostly white, the black distal margin deeply indented. — 

 lucania FyuhsL, from Peru, is approximately as large as niseiaf^, apical spots of the forewing narrower than hicania. -^^^ 

 in minthe, black scaling on the hindwing less extended; ? with light ochre-yellow ground-colour, black distal 

 margin of the hindwing less indented, very broad at the anal end, beneath the distal margin of both wings 

 brown, the gi'ound-colour suffused with ochre-yellow. — mustica Fnihi>f., from Bolivia, is very similar to mustka. '^•^* 

 huebneri, but the white central area of the hindwing more extended beneath; ? differing trom hicania in the 

 pale and diffuse yellowish ground-colour, under surface of the forewing whitish, yellowish towards the margin, 

 cell suffused with yellowish, distal border of the hindwing obsolescent and in the middle part much narrowed. 



I. pandosia Hew. (20 d), from Venezuela, is white above and beneath, with black margins and above pandosia. -/Jv 

 with black base, on the under surface of the hindwing vrith small red-yellow spots in the dark distal margin.
