carmine spots of the forewing being reduced proximally. On the supposition that the locaUty "Chile" is 

 ooiTect, BuTLEE regards solsfitia as a separate species on account of a few small differences in the hairs 

 of the body. 



C. editha Bfh-. (26a), from Haiti, is in the cf lemon-yellow without markings, the under surface editha:\^'f(>' 

 is dark yellow with two white spots, surrounded with black-brown, at the discocellular of the hindwing and 

 also small black-brown macular markings. The ? has the upper surface reddish j^ellow, especialty on the 

 hindwing. with a large black median spot and marginal and submarginal black-brown spots on the forewing, 

 and also small black-brown marginal spots on the hindwing, the under surface is scarcely different from that 

 of the a" . — fornax BUr., from Chile (?), I regard as a ?-form ot editha. The upper surface has much more fomax. t-^wy 

 red. particularly a broad dark red marginal band on the hindwing, and the under surface, the proximal half 

 of which is vellow. has man's- more red markings. 



C. argante F. (= larra. F., cnidia Godt.) (25 a) is dist.ri])uted from the North American Gulf States argante. fkf 

 CO Paraguay- and very common. The cf is above pale orange-yellow and without markings except the black 

 marginal spots. The rather narrow margin of scent-scales is little conspicuous, this species like several 

 others has a further scent-organ , consisting of a spot of scales on the upperside of the hindwing, which is 

 associated with a pencil on the underside of the inner margin of the forewing for scattering the scent. The 

 under surface is yellow with numerous brownish markings and sometimes white spots at the discocellular. 

 The 2 has similar ground-colour on the upperside, but more black marginal markings, also a black median 

 spot on the forewing. The under surface is more strongly marked with dark. The pupa has extraordinarily 

 swollen breast, the head is produced into a point, on the thorax is an acutely angled elevation and along 

 the sides runs a ridge-Uke protuberance. — hersilia Cr. is a more strongly marked form. The c? has in- hersilio. /v 

 stead of the red marginal spots of the forewing a narrow black marginal band and the ? has more and 

 larger black spots. The under surface is also more marked. — rorata BtJr., from Haiti, is a large form, roratn. 01^ 

 The cf has unusually bright yellow marginal band and the S witli almost white ground-colour has much 

 black macular mai'king as well as red striation on the upper surface. Also the under surface shows in the 

 2 red-brown spots united into bands. — minuscula Btlv., said to be from Havanna, but which I have from minusmla. tfl3 

 Rio Grande do Sul, is a dwarf form of argante, scarcely half as large. — agarithe Bdv., from T&Ti&i agaritlie. f(i^ 

 largante?), Panama, Venezuela, Haiti and Brazil, would have to be regarded as a separate species according 

 to Butlek's figure of the pupa. But Butlee is in error; he has figured the pupa of pMlea, as I have 

 positive proof. The butterfly is similar to argante in the cf , but has a strongly marked light distal margin 

 of unequal width on the hindwing and the posterior part of the wing is yellow. The under surface shows 

 besides other markings on the forewing a led-brown maculai' band running from the apex towards the inner 

 margin. The ? is above reddish yellow, with a large orange-yellow patch at the discocellular of the fore- 

 wing, in which the black median spot is placed. The under surface is similar to that of the cf, but more ^ 

 strongly marked. — floridensis Neumogen i. I., from Florida, is in the male entirely without markings above, floridensis.^H 

 the margin little lighter than the proximal part of the wing, beneath on the contrary rather strongly marked, 

 the band of red-brown spots iiuining from the apex of the forewing toivards the inner margin being parfi- 

 cularly sti iking. The ? is above almost as uniform as the cf, only somewhat lighter orange-yellow colour, 

 and has no markings at all except slight brownish ones at and near the apex of the forewing and the very 

 indistinct small dark median spot on this wing. 



C. trite L. (25 b), from tropical America, has yellow upper surface with black distal margin on the trite. •^Z'' 

 forewing, which in the ? is somewhat broader. The margin of scent-scales is very narrow and inconspicuous, 

 the scent-apparatus on the proximal part of the wing is as in the preceding species. The under surface is 

 greenish yellow, lighter at the margin, and has besides slight submarginal markings on the hindwing an 

 oblique blackish band, peculiar to this species, on both wings. The ? has lighter ground-colour beneath. 



C. statira Cr. (26 cj occurs very commonly in the whole of South America. The distal half of the statim. SlX 

 wing is covered with scent-scales and is strikingly lighter than the lemon-yellow proximal half The upper- 

 side has no markings except a naiTOw black distal margin. The ? has broader black distal margin and also 

 a black median spot on the forewing. The under surface has sHght dark markings. — wallacei Fldr., from wallacei. flj 

 Rio Negro and Peru, is uniformlj' yellow above and has the distal half of the wing very light beneath. 



C. boisduvalii Fldr. (26c), from Colombia and Central America, is cream-coloured, more strongly boisduvnlii.'^d 

 yellow on the basal part, with narrow black apical margin. The under surface is light yellow, entirely 

 without markings. 



C jada -B//r.' (26 b), from Guatemala, has in the c? the proximal half of the wings ochre- j'ellow, i\\& jada. I rfV<3' 

 distal half lemon-yellow, no markings, the lander surface is reddish yellow, hghter on the distal half. The ? 

 is above yellow with black dentate distal margin and round black median spot as well as a subapical row 

 of four small ochre-yellow spots. The under surface is bluish white with reddish marginal and medial 

 markings. — jaresia Btlr., from Peru, is only known in the female. Like the argante-'^ it is orange-yellow jaresia. ^J/
