130 CEEATINIA. By i?. Baensch. 



nina. C. nina Hscli. is larger than napona and has a complete undulate transverse band in the forewing; 



callanga. fui'ther 2 jello'w spots near the end of the median. Bolivia. — In calianga Hsch. (34 e) the yellow oblique 



band and the spots at the end of the cell have assumed the red-brown ground-colour. There is sometimes, 



especially on the under surface, another red-brown oblique band in the apex of the forewing. This form occurs 



at the boundary of Peru and Bolivia near Yungas. 



jenesteUa. C. fenestella Hew. (34 e) is a form similar to nina, with yellow oblique band and broader longitudinal 



intermedia, band on the hindwing: from Venezuela. — ■ intermedia Btlr., from eastern Colombia and Ecuador, has the 



oblique band as in fenestella; above yellow marginal dots, beneath white ones. Hindwing with abbreviated 



'peruviana, longitudinal band. — In peruviana Stgr., from Peru, the hindwing in the (J is transparently yellowish at the 



hemimelas. costal margin, in the $ the marginal spots are yellow beneath. — In the form hemimelas Sigr., from Chancha- 



mayo, the distal border and the longitudinal band of the hindwing are merged into one patch. — The Central 



valora. American form of fenestella, from Costa Eica, which I call valora form, nov., is larger and has very large, oblong 



yellow spots in the apex of the forewing. On the upperside of the hindwing the white marginal spots are absent. 



ninonia. C. ninonia Hhi. (34 f) is a smaller species and. occurs in typical examples chiefly in Guiana and on 



the Lower Amazon. The disc of both wings is transparent in the ^, but on the hindwing more brownish than 



in the figure. The yellow transverse band of the forewing is very broad. The yellow marginal dots are rather 



bari. large in this and the following forms. — • Bates describes as bari a form from Tocantins and Tapajos, which 



completa. is said to have a narrower hindwing and paler, yellow spots. — In the larger completa Hsch. (34 f), from 



the Upper Amazon, the yellow obUque band is only half as broad and does not extend into the cell. — In the 



maculata. form maculata Hsch., from the Lower Amazon, the band is divided into 2 yellow spots. This large local form 



latefasciata. has very broad wings and large yellow marginal dots. — In latefasciata Hsch. the black spots at the end of the 



cell of the forewing are small, hence the yellow oblique band is very broad. It flies on the Upper Amazon, 



yhilidas. whilst the similar philidas Godm. & Salv. has its habitat in Colombia. The latter has a much broader black 



median band on the hindwing and no yellow marginal dots on the upper surface of the hindwing. 



mutilla. The very similar C. mutilla Hew. (34 f), from British Guiana, has a pale j^ellowish oblique band and 



in addition a red-brown spot towards the apex. The longitudinal band of the hindwing is mostly very broad. 



pellucida. — In ab. pellucida Hsch. the black spots at the end of the cell and the distal margin of the forewing form a 



broad band: the longitudinal band of the hindwing, on the contrary, is narrower. This form flies together 



with the preceding. 



vallina. A similar form, from Venezuela, which I call C. vallina s-pec. nov., is larger and has very broad wings. 



The longitudinal band of the hindwing is narrow and placed very far distad, so that the semitransparent discal 

 area becomes very large. 

 granadensis. C. granadensis Hsch. stands rather isolated, only to some extent recalhng philidas. The yellow obhque 



band is very broad and in it are placed at the end of the ceU the two black spots, which are here very small, 

 whilst the third in the end of the cell is very long and wedge-shaped. At the apex and again at the distal margin 

 there are 2 white dots. The hindwing is as in fhilidas, ^vith narrower black longitudinal band. In Central 

 Colombia. 



maenas. C. maenas {Bang-H. i. I.) (34 f) has the pattern somewhat like that of latefasciata, but the yellow 



transverse band of the forewing and the yellow marginal dots are absent. It flies with the similarly coloured 

 forms of other genera on the Upper Amazon. 



antonia. C. antonia Hew. (34 g) has a yeUow-brown ground-colour and different yellow macular band. The 



antonina. j'ellow marginal dots are very large, but smallest in the apex of the fore-wing. — In the similar antonina Stgr., 

 from the Upper Amazon, it is just the reverse, the marginal dots are largest in the apex, moreover the 

 macular band is much smaller, proximally edged with black, antonia from western Ecuador differs more- 

 over in the longitudinal band of the hindwing, the spots of which are largest at the apex. 



fimbria. C. fimbria Hew., from Colombia, has a broad yellow oblique band on the forewing, which is divided 



by a black macular band, so that there is a large j^ellow patch at the irmer angle. The marginal dots of both 

 nemea. wings are white. — In the similar nemea Weym. (34 g), also from Colombia, the yellow band is narrower and 

 differently^ formed. The hindwing is not transparent as in fimbria. 



phileiacra. C. philetaera Hew. (34 f) may be recognised by the large yellow median spot on the forewing and the 



broad black distal border of the hindwing. In the distal margin of the forewing and mostly also of the hind- 

 wing are placed j-ellow dots, among them 2 larger ones in the apex of the forewing. The habitat of this easily 

 recognised species, which resembles Melinaea idae, is Colombia. 



leprieuri. C. leprieuri Feisth., from Cayenne, has similar hindwing, which is black also at the costal margin, 



and white marginal dots. The j'ellow median spot is distally rounded; the black spots at the end of the cell 

 are joined rectangularly with the spot at the median. 



ignorata. C. ignorata Hsch. (34 f) has similar markings, but yellow marginal dots on the forewing, and the hind- 



wing is red-brown, with black, yellow-dotted distal margin and black longitudinal band. This species flies
