DIBMOEPHIA. By J. Boher. 99 



D. cretacea S. & K. (28 e), from Soitth Brazil (Espirito Santo), has white upper surface with broad creiacea. i^ 

 bhack apex, which, especially in the $, is strongly sinuate in the posterior part. The hindwing has small black 

 distal border. The under surface is yellowish white, the forewing without markings in the ,^, in the $ with 

 a black subapical band and a black spot near the inner angle, the hindwing has 2 black-grey transverse bands, 

 of which one is placed in the centre, the other near the costal margin. 



D. isodrita Bdv. (28 e), said to be from Brazil, known to me in one $ from Colombia, is scarcely speci- isodrita. /^' 

 fically different from cretacea. The black apical margin differs but little from that of cretacea, but has a very 

 small white subapical spot, the hindwing is entirely without markings. The under surface is more j^ellow and 

 the black subapical band of the forewing reduced to an indistinctly defined spot. 



D. flavia FIdr. {H.-ScMff. i. I.), from Venezuela, is similar to isodrita, but is said to have shorter wings flavia. p<.v 

 and narrower cell. Unknown to me. 



D. psamathe F. (28 f), said to be from Guiana and Para, only known to me from South Brazil (Sao psamathe. ff^"" 

 Paulo and Santa Catharina), has in the black apex of the forewing a large white spot. The$$ have mostly strongly 

 yellow hindwing. The under surface of the hindwing and the apex of the forewing are light ochre-yellow, the 

 hindwing has 2 grey-black transverse bands, in the (^(^ the black subapical spot of the forewing is occasionally 

 absent. 



D. acutipennis Btlr., from Trinidad, only before me in a (J from Colombia, differs from psamathe only acutipennis.f^^ 

 in having a hghter yellow under surface. — disjuncta form. nov. (28 f), from Eio Grande do Sul, is distinguished disjuncta. ^ff 

 by the proximal part of the black apical spot being broken up and the under surface as yellow as in 

 psamathe (seasonal form of psamathe'?). 



D. mercenaria FJdr. (28 f) comes from Venezuela, I have before me specimens from Peru; whether mercenaria. fs'^ 

 these are different from Venezuelan specimens I cannot say. It has in the male a somewhat narrower fore- 

 wing and differently shaped margin to the black apical spots, but is otherwise, especially in the female, not 

 different from cretacea. = 1>e'M-cc^-^^?^i 



D. Hcinia Cr. (= galanthis Bates, phronima F.) (28 f), from the Upper Amazon (Peru), is distinguished licinia. v^/ 

 from mercenaria by the different shape of the proximal boundary of the black apical spot. The under surface 

 is somewhat hghter yellow.

D. aphrodite Fldr., from Brazil, is above chalk-white, distal margin black-brown with a white spot, aphrodite. » 

 hindwing unicolorous. Under surface of the forewing in the ^ sulphur-yellow in the middle, costal margin 

 and base saffron-yellow, small blackish dots at the costal margin, $ unicolorous, costal and hind margins ochre- 

 yellow, black-brown apical band, hindwing in the (J ochre-yellow, in the $ much lighter, both beneath with 

 brownish stripes. Unknown to me. 



D. marion G. <& S. (28 g), from Central America and South Brazil (Santa Catharina), is similar to marion. 9 

 psamathe, but has, in addition to the differences in the markings, both wings differently shaped. The under- 

 side of the forewing is less strongly marked. 



D. thermesia Godt. (28 g), from Brazil (Sao Paulo), has the forewing very narrow in the male. In the ihennesia. ^6^ 

 $ the oblong black median spot of the forewing is absent. The under surface is pearly white with dark scale- 

 spots, the $ has also black subapical markings on the forewing, which are wanting in the $. — thermesina ihermesina. ^v. 

 Hopff., from Peru, has more black markings. 



D. limnorina Fldr. (28 g), from Brazil (Minas Geraes), has peculiar wing-contour. The wings in the limnorina. 0^ 

 ? are entirely light yellow, in the ^ light yellow in the posterior half. The underside has black submarginal 

 markings on the forewing in both sexes, but less in the ^. 



D. dilis Bdv., from Brazil, is similar to licinia, but has on the forewing narrower and shorter black dills. ^^" 

 markings. Under surface as in licinia. Only known to me from the description. 



D. theugenis Dhl. (= colon Weym.) (28 h), from Bolivia and Peru, has deep sulphur-yellow upper theugenis. f^" 

 surface with broad black apical marking and black median spot on the forewing as well as black margin to 

 the hindwing. The under surface is sulphur-yellow except for the white posterior part of the forewing, the 

 forewing has a black marginal spot in the middle of the distal margin and the hindwing 3 blackish transverse 

 bands. $ unknown to me. " 't^cLxLM --A^c^ 



D. melite L. (28 h), from South Brazil (Santa Catharina and Eio Grande do Sul), has canary-yellow melite. [*" 

 upper surface with black marginal and central markings. The under surface as in the allied species is yellow 

 with 2 blackish transverse bands on the hindwing. The $$ have broader forewing and much lighter yellow
