 also a red-browTi sub marginal band and red-brown veins. (J and $ are coloured almost alike. 



P, fulvescens Godm. & Salv., from Costa Eica, is said to be similar to latilla and fulvimargo. The fulvescens. 

 upper radial of the hindwing is entirely absent. The club of the antenna is yellow. 



P. splendida Hsch., from eastern Colombia, of which only the $ is known to me, has the fore- splendida. 

 wing similar to that of notilla-'^, with broader black margins and' dark spot in the middle of the cell. 

 The hindwing is slightly yellow-brown, with a yellow spot at the apex and very broad black distal margin. 

 The club of the antenna is 3-ellow-brown. 



P. dispar Hsch. (39 f) has transparent yellowish wings with black margins and half-band at the end disi^ar. 

 of the cell, which beneath are variegated with brownish. Club of the antenna yellow-brown. In the $ 

 the subcostal and median of the forewing, as well as the veins in the disc of the hindwing, are yellow- 

 brown. The species flies in Colombia and Venezuela. 



P. alinda Fldr., from Venezuela, is said strongly to recall donella in the markings. Forewing in the alinda. 

 cell yellow-brown, subcostal and median red-brown, the other margins black-brown. In the blackish apical 

 area 2 yellowish macular bauds. Hindwing dusted with yellow-brown, with red-brown veins and broad 

 blackish distal margin. 



P. veia Hew. (39 g), from Venezuela and Colombia, has a broad yellow oblique band at the end of veia. 

 the cell of the forewing and yellow-brown margins on the under surface with large white crescents. In 

 the $ the margins are broader and a dark spot is placed at the end of the median of the forewing. — 

 In ab. brunnea {Stgr. i. I.) the subcostal and median of the forewing and also the veins in the disc of the bninnea. 

 hindwing are yellow-brown. The yellow oblique band is still broader and more brightly coloured. 



P. zerlina Heic. (= arinia H.-Scliaff.) (39 g) has vitreous wings with blue-grey sheen and dark zerlina. 

 hvowa margins; only the costal margin of the forewing is red-brown. At the dark band at the end of the 

 cell and at the distal margin of the forewing there are whitish patches. In the red-brown margins of the 

 under sm'face are placed at the apex of the forewing single, and at the distal margin of the hindwing 

 double white dots. In the $ the inner margin and the half-band of the forewing are connected by a 

 dark triangle. — In a local form from southern Peru, which I call tamina forvi. nov., the club of the tamina. 

 antenna is yellow-brown. The basal half of the cell is shaded with dark; the apical half of the forewing 

 is yellowish and the disc of the hindwing has bluish white sheen. On the under surface the white dots 

 are much smaller. — hara Hew. is a local form of zerlina, from Ecuador, with whitish patches behind the hara. 

 end of the cell and at the distal margin of the forewing. The subcostal is red-brown. 



P. lincera H.-Schdff. (39 g) has transparent yellow-brown wings, with yellowish patches at the end lincera. 

 of the cell and at the distal margin of the forewing. Subcostal and median are light red-brown. Other- 

 wise the mai-kings are similar to those of zerlina. Eastern Ecuador and Colombia. — alina {Stgr. i. I.) is alma. 

 a form similar to zerlina, from Bolivia, with red-brown, dark-edged margins on the upper surface, light 

 yellow-brown beneath; with yellowish patches in the end of the cell, behind the cell, at the distal margin- 

 of the forewing and at the apex of the hindwing. In the $ the margins are proportionately broader. 



P. pronuba Heiv., from western Ecuador, has colourless wings with black margins and black- white 'promiba. 

 half-band at the discocellular. Subcostal and median are red-brown at the base. In the $ both the 

 margins and the white half-band are much broader. 



In P. tucuna Bates (39 g), from the Upper Amazon, the dark-margined wings are provided with tucuna. 

 numerous yeUow dots, namely in and behind the end of the cell, at the distal margin and hinder angle 

 of the forewing, and also in the disc of the hindwing. The black antennae have yellow-brown clubs. — 

 tanampaya {Stgr. i. I.), from BoUvia, has narrower wings. The whole cell of the forewing and the tanampaya. 

 disc of the hindwing are dusted with yellow. The margins beneath are dark red-brown, in tucuna yellow- 

 brown. — bueya {Bang-H. i. I.) is very similar to the preceding, but with red-brown subcostal and red- bueya. 

 brown margins on the underside. It likewise flies in Bolivia. 



P. zabina Hew. (40 b), from Colombia and Ecuador, has broader wings with smaller yellowish dots zabina. 

 at the end of the cell and the distal margin of both wings. Antenna black; subcostal and a narrow 

 inner-marginal stripe are red-brown. — In ab. brunneata Hsch. the median and the veins in the disc of brunncata. 

 both wings are also red-brown. At the end of the cell of the forewing there is a yellow half-band. 



P. huamba spec. not. I call a small form similar to lincera, also from the eastern Andes of Ecua- huamba. 

 dor, with .slightly yellowish wings and faint yellow-brown patches at the end of the cell and distal 

 margin of the forewing. The margins are black-grey, only the subcostal of the forewing slightly yellow- 

 brown. The white double spots at the distal margin of the hindwing are very large. — oneida Hew. oneida. 

 (39 g), from Colombia and Ecuador, is somewhat larger, with more brightly coloured wings. The distal 

 margin of the hindwing is proximally dentate, especially in the $. There is a dark, isolated spot in the 

 disc of the forewing at the end of the cell. The subcostal is broadly yellow-brown.
