102 DISMOEPHIA. By J. Boher. 



rycuryopc. D- euryope Luc. (29 f), from Mexico, is above black with yellowish white median band on the forewing. 



\ The large friction-spot of the hindwing is light bluish, the scent-scale-spot on it white, from the inner margin to 



the middle of the hindwing runs a yellow band, divided into spots by the black veins. Only known to me 

 1 J from the figure. 



"\j iiies. D. ines sjjec. nov. (29 f), from Ecuador, is a good deal like euryope. The median band is much nar- 



rower and snow-white, at the inner margin of the forewing there is a small yellow scale-stripe. The $ has 

 sulphur-yellow hindwing, broadly margined with black-brown. The underside has dull gloss, is grey-black 



\, and has white spots. 



Ujgdamis. D. lygdamis Heiv. (29 f), from Ecuador, has black upper surface with bluish markings. The under 



surface is much more like that of a Catasticta than a Dismor-pliia. Only known to me from the figure. 



D. hyposticta Fldr., from Venezuela and Colombia, has in the female yellow upper surface with broad 



black-brown distal margin, interrupted median band and 3 — 4 small white subapical spots on the forewing, 



the yellow ground-colour of the hindwing makes a tooth into the dark distal margin between the 3. median vein 



and the lower radial. Under surface of the forewing similar to the upper, paler, with yellow marginal spots, 



^ hindwing black-brown with a number of large yellow spots. Only known to me from the description. ^ 



y^ iiippotas. D. hippotas Heiv. (29 g), from Ecuador, has black-brown upper surface with white spots. The $ is. / 



very similar to the (J. Under surface impure white with yellowish spots of scales. The $ has also black mark- / 

 ^ ings on the forewing. 



n^ teresa. D. teresa Hew. {== praxidice Hew.) (29g), from Ecuador, has black-blue, somewhat glossy upper sur- 



face with white spots. The (J has besides the clay-yellow scent-spot at the costal margin of the hindwing a large '• 

 ,, brand" on the upper surface in the middle of the forewing. The $ is very similar to the (J. Underside - 

 r similar to that of lii'p'potas.c 



i\ praxidice. D. praxidice .5^«tt;.,^'from Ecuador, has more rounded forewing than teresa, somewhat darker under 



. surface, otherwise no constant differences. 



^nemesis. D. nemesis Latr. (= atthis Dhl.) (29 g), from Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, etc., has 



the upper surface of the forewing dark brown with small yellow spots, the anterior half of the hindwing (scent- 

 area) is shiny grey, the posterior part yellow. The $ is very different: white or yellowish with black mark- 

 ings, the hindwing has only a narrow black distal margin. The vmder surface is grey with lighter and yellow 

 spots. — viridifascia Bltr., from Costa Eica, has smaller, linear yellow spots and on the hindwing a light greenish 

 band. $ with light brown margin. 



^ cinerasoens. D. cinerascens Salv. (29 g, 30a), from Costa Eica and Chiriqui, is black above and has on the forewing 



white spots and on the hindwing a grey-blue, wedge-shaped band before the black distal margin. The $ 

 ^ has black hindwing with a broad white median band. The under surface is similar to that of nemesis. 



\ vielia. D. melia Goclt. (30 a), from Brazil (Santa Catharina and Sao Paulo), has the forewing black above with 



yellow markings and the hindwing yellow vith black markings. The $ is a so-called Acraeid-mimic, rather ? 

 \icraeoides. similar to Acraea (Actinote) ihalia and resp. anteas; this (Brazilian) form is acraeoides Heiv. (30 a), the other '. 

 netica. form, mimetica Stgr., from Cayenne, has more j-ellow ground-colour, but does not differ in the markings. 



^larunda. D. larunda Hew. (30a), from Ecuador, is a mimic of Heliconiiis. Upper surface black with yellow 



median band and yellow submarginal spots as well as large red basal spot on the forewing and similarly marked 

 hindwing. The proximal part of the hindwing is beneath red, the broad black border has small white spots 

 and at the distal margin there is a j^ellow submarginal band. 



TV spio. D. spio Goclt. (30 a), from the Antilles, has the forewing sharply falcate in both sexes. In the $ the 



,' yellow-red markings of the ,^ are sulphur-yellow. 



V^cubana. D. cubana H.-Sch. (80b), from Cuba, has the forewing only moderately pointed and resembles spio 



( in markings and colouring. 



KV 



y^lnaianax. D. lysianax Hew. (30 b), from the Upper Amazon, has the forewing completely rounded. Only the i 



$ is known, which differs from the ^J of cuhana by the absence of the yellow subapical spots and further in that t 

 \ the j-ellow median band is extended to the base in a narrow stripe at the costal margin. 



. "N, Iricdor. D. tricolor S. d- K. (30 b) resembles Heliconius vicinus Men. Only the ? is known. Upper surface 



^/JJu}^A. l-^-'black, forewing with a broad yellow median band and red inner-marginal stripe, hindwing with red median \ 

 MLCL' 'mIT^ - b^iT<^l anf^ a 3'ellow-ied submarginal spot at the distal margin. Under surface similar, but the red on the hind- \ 

 \/"i.-» _ ■^^iiig reduced to small stripes, and white submarginal spots. Habitat still unknown. 



\\amphione. D. amphione Cr. (30 b, c), from Guiana, bears a superficial resemblance to certain forms of Heli- 



\\ arsi7ioc. conius erato. — arsinoe Fldr., from Colombia, differs in the larger and snow-white scent-scale-area on the hind- 

 '^ wing; the inner margin of the forewing is red-brown and between submedian and median there is a small black 



fijnomides stripe in the red-brown. — In astynptnides Stgr. i. I., from Venezuela, this black stripe is absent and the inner
