C. flisa H.-Scliaff. ('22 e), from Colombia, has black-brown upper surface with white macular median flisa. *^ / 

 band, submarginal and very small marginal white spots; in the ? the anal area of the hindwing is yellow. 

 The under surface is black-brown with a white macular median band, in which on the hindwing yellow 

 spots are placed, the marginal spots being present as above, but whitish yellow. 



C. chrysolopha KoU. (^ xeque Mengcl) (22 f), from Ecuador, has black upper surface, on the dirysolopha. •*: 

 forewing a white macular median band and small diffuse submarginal white spots, the hindwing has a median 

 band "which is bright ochre-yellow' in the middle and white anterior^, and likewise small, diffuse submarginal 

 white spots. The under surface of the hindwing is yellowish white with sulphur-yellow and black markings. 

 The ? has rounder wings, is paler above and beneath and has on the hindwing also small light spots. 



C. apaturina Bth: (22 f), from Ecuador, is very similar to the preceding species, but has smaller apaturina. ' ^ 

 white spots and on the hind«-ing a naiTOwer and light yellow median band. The under surface of the hind- 

 wing has almost snow-white ground-colour and ash-grey submarginal markings and more black markings 

 in the middle. 



C. toca Dhl. (22 f), from Bolivia and Colombia, has black upper surface with white macular median toca. (_5<r* 

 band and diffuse white submargmal spots. Under surface of the hindwing white with black marginal band 

 of lunate spots and black median band composed of wedge-shaped spots, and also black basal markings; in 

 each cellule is a sulphur-jellow streak. Under surface of the forewing black with white submarginal and 

 median bands as well as yellow marginal spots. — detrita form nop., from the Upper Amazon, is much detrita. Zy^ 

 paler above and beneath. 



C. SCaeva Htgr. i. I. (22 f), from Peru. Upperside dark brown with yellow or yellowish macular scaeva. *T/ 

 median band and submai'ginal spots of the same colour, underside paler yellow than in toca with brownish 

 and (particularh" on the hindwing) somewhat different markings; the line at the margin is composed of 

 acute triangles. 



C. tomyris Fldr. (22 f), from Colombia and Venezuela, is above similar to toca, but larger. Upper tomyris. t^^ 

 surface black with white macular median band and small white submarginal spots on the forewing, hindwing 

 with yellowish median band. Under surface of the forewing black with submarginal and median macular 

 bands and yellow marginal spots. Hindwing light yellow with black lines of lunate markings at the distal ^v/' 



margin, black central and basal spofs and a sulphur-yellow stripe in each cellule. ? not different. — tamina tamina. ^ 

 Stgr. i. I., from Bolivia, has above a broader median band on both wings and on the under surface of the 

 hindwing reddish-bluish colouring at the distal margin and in the^basal area, with pure white ground-colour. 



C. COra Luc. (= zancle Fldr.) (22f, g), from Venezuela and Peru, is above dark grey with marginal cora. c^^^X 

 and submarginal black bands. The under surface of the forewing has submarginal and median white macular 

 bands with small yellow spots and yellowish white marginal spots. The under surface of the hindwing is 

 marked with a confusion of white, 3'ellow, black, brown and bluish. 



C. uricoecheae Fldr. (22 f), from Colombia, one of the most beautiful species of the genus, is very mkoedieae. ^ 

 similar to cora on the upperside of the forewing, but has dark red hindwing with black distal margin and ' 



black macular median band. The under surface is also very similar to that of cora, but much hghter. 



C. cinerea Bth., habitat unknown. Forewing above ashy grey, costal margin and veins broadly cinerea. *^ 

 black, distal quarter of the wing occupied by a broad black margin, in which are placed a row of whitish 

 green spots and a row of very small white marginal spots, basal half of the hindwing ashy grey, irregularly 

 scaled with black, distal half black with a row of whitish grey spots and a row of small sulphur-yellow 

 marginal spots. Body blackish, palpi with two white lateral lines, throat with a small yellow spot at each 

 side. Under surface veiy similar to that of uricoechiae, but the grey areas more slate-coloured, the yellow 

 marks deeper in colour, all the light markings sharper and those on the forewing broader. Only known to 

 me from the description. 



C. vulnerata Bth-., from Ecuador, is similar to uricoecheae, but the basal area of the forewing also vulnerata. (f^ 

 is red, the median band naiTOwer, the red of the hindwing more restricted and greyer, the median bands 

 are smaller, lighter red and diffuse, the inner margin is whitish. On the under surface the markings are 

 sharper, the yellow marks more glossy, the grey central band of the hindwing is fairly straight on its inner 

 side and is on that account broader, its white and yellow borders are narrower, the marginal spots broader, 

 somewhat less angled. Only known to me from the description. 



C. tricolor Btlr., from Ecuador, is also similar to uricoecheae, but all the spots on the upper surface tricolor. ^^ 

 of the forewing are glossy lemon-yellow, the scarlet of the hindwing is less brilliant, the spot towards the 

 base more reduced, a row of yellow marginal spots present. On the under surface the white and yellow 

 markings are so much reduced that the ground-colour appears grey. 



C. paradoxa fitgr. i. I. (22 g), from Peru, is likewise a very beautiful species. Underside shiny lAack paradoxa. ^ 

 with light yellow submarginal and central spots on the forewing and bright yellow median band and sub- 

 marginal spots on the hindwing. Under surface of the forewing black with submarginal and median white
