C. arnica Weijm., from Colombia and Ecuador, is similar to folyvmides, but has only 3 black dots arnica. 

 in the disc of the hindwing and a narrow black distal margin. The yellow transverse band of the hindwing 

 is only half as broad. — The similar baana Bruce, from Peru, is said to be distinguished among other details baana. 

 by white marginal dots on the under surface, which are wanting in arnica. 



C. mansuetus Hew., from the Upper Amazon, has similar markings to moebiusi following hereafter, mansuetus. 

 The wings are shorter and more rounded. The forewing has in addition 3 yellow dots at the distal margin and 

 the hindwing 4 black spots in the disc, whilst the narrow distal border is strongly dentate at the inner angle. 

 In specimens from Peru the yellow dots on the forewing are absent. — moebiusi Hsch. (34 d) has a broad moebiusi. 

 yellow obhque band in the forewing. At the inner angle of the hindwing there is a large black band-spot and 

 at the end of the cell 2 more isolated spots. 



C. honesta Weym. (34 d) is a similar species with differently formed oblique band and rounded black honesta. 

 spot in the hindwing. Of the two black spots at the end of the cell of the forewing the one at the costal margin 

 is here the longer, in moebiusi just the reverse is the case. This species flies on the eastern slopes of the Andes 

 of Ecuador, whilst the local form bicolora Hsch., in which the yellow oblique band is absent, occurs still bicolora. 

 fiu'ther east, on the upper Eio Napo. The latter resembles, besides the larger MeU7iaea mothone and Mecha- 

 nitis decepfus, especially Hyposcada fallax and Ceratiiiia semifulva. fallax is recognised at once by the large 

 black antennae and the short cell of the hindwing; semifulva, in addition to its smaller size, by the dark base 

 of the forewing and only 2 black spots at the end of the cell. 



C. mamercus Hew. is similar to mansuetus, but smaller, with broader, short, distally convex yellow mamercrus. 

 obUque band. The black median band of the hindwing and the distal border, which is broad at the inner angle, 

 are united at the inner margin. In some specimens median band and distal border are joined into a large 

 patch. FUes on the eastern slopes of the Andes of Ecuador. — Thence comes also the similar aemilia Hew., aemilia. 

 with narrower oblique band and yellow marginal spots in the apex of the forewing. At the inner angle of the 

 hindwing' is placed a distally divided black spot. 



C. manaos Bates is similar to mamercus and rowena. Yellow band of the forewing extending into the manaos. 

 cell. Hindwing with 2 black macular bands. From the lower Eio Negro. — rowena Hew. is a smaller form rowena. 

 from Colombia with narrow yellow oblique band, double spot at the end of the cell, long wedge-spot and broad 

 streak at the base of the forewing, as well as large double spots at the inner angle of the hindwing. — In achaea achaea. 

 Hew., from eastern Ecuador, which is of the same size, the oblique band is divided into 2 spots at the end of 

 the cell and the inner angle of the forewing. The hindwing, including the costal margin, is for the most part 

 black-brown, only the apex is red-brown. — semifulva Salv. (34 d) has already been mentioned under bico- semifulva. 

 lora. It is the local form of achaea or a nearly allied species, without the yellow oblique band on the forewing. 

 It occurs, like all the similar forms, in eastern Peru and Ecuador, together with occulta Hsch., which has occulta. 

 3 more yellow spots in the apex of the forewing and white distal-marginal dots on the under surface. 



C. apollinis Stgr. (34 d) approximates to aemilia, but has larger yellow subapical spots in the forewing a-pollinis. 

 and a large black spot at the inner angle of the hindwing. It flies on the Upper Amazon near Iquitos. 



C. viola Hsch. (34 e) has a distally lobed yellow oblique band in the forewing, dark distal margin and viola. 

 spot at the end of the cell of the hindwing. The ground-colour is dark brown-red. It flies on the Upper 

 Amazon, together with the similarly coloured Melinaea satevis and 7nadeira. — In the local form boliviensis boliviensis. 

 Hsch. the ground-colour is hghter red-brown; the hindwing has a dark median band and broader distal margin. 

 — herbita Weym., from Surinam, has a similar yellow oblique band, and on the hindwing the median band herbiia. 

 and distal margin dark. 



In C. catilla Hew. (34 e) the apex is broadly black to the end of the cell, then follows proximally the caiilla. 

 yeUow oblique band. The broad black distal margin of the hindwing is united at the apex with the median 

 band. The ground-colour is dark red-brown. Bolivia. 



C. cantobrica Hew. (34 e) has yellow spots at the apex and distal margin of the forewing and also a cantobrica. 

 curved yellow macular band. The distal border of the hindwing is narrower. The ground-colour is red-brown. 

 The habitat is Bolivia. — In the smaller pamina Hsch. the yellow spot is narrower and also proximally mar- pamina. 

 gined with black. The yeUow marginal dots are absent. This form comes from the frontier districts of Peru 

 and Bolivia. 



C. pyrippe Hpffr., from Peru, is a form with broad yellow oblique band in the forewing and narrow pyrippe. 

 streak-hke longitudinal band in the hindwing. — In tenna Hsch. (34 e) on the other hand the oblique band tenna. 

 is narrow, the dark distal margin of the hindwing broader. Eastern Ecuador. — In napona Hsch., which napona. 

 i.s the same size, the obhque band of the forewing is broken up into 2 spots; the two black basal spots are larger; 

 the distal margins have yellow marginal dots. — In ab. calva Hsch., which also flies on the upper Napo, the calva. 

 black longitudinal band in the disc of the hindwing is absent. In the cJ the anterior third of the hindwing is 

 semitransparent.
