PTEEONYMIA. By B. Hacnsch. 155 



P. apuleia Heic. (•? $ = santanella Hsch.) (40 a), from eastern Ecuador, is very similar to Mira- apuleia. 

 leria sijlvella (40 e), but may be known by the strongly angled lower discocellular of the hindwing. The 

 margins, except the yellow-brown costal margin of the forewing, are narrowly dark brown; the half-band at 

 the end of the cell of the forewing is somewhat curved and pointed. 



P. granica Fleic. is a similar species, also from Ecuador; but the half-band at the end of the cell is granica. 

 absent. On the under surface the base of the costal margin of the hindwing is yellow and each wing has 

 •2 whitish dots in the apex. 



P. ticida Heic. (40 e), from eastern Ecuador, has narrow wings with black margins; at the base of licida. 

 both -wings yello^^-ish dusting. It closely resembles Episcada ticidella (39 e). But on the under surface the 

 margins are black, onlj- the base of the hindwing is j^ellow. In the apex of the forewing are placed 3, at 

 the cUstal margin of the liindwing 5 oblong white dots. — yungava Hsch. is a similar form from Bolivia, yungava. 

 The margins are brownish; subcostal of the forewing red-brown, on the underside yellow-brown with only 

 one white dot in the apex of the hindwing. 



P. starkei Sigr., from Venezuela, has broader wings and in addition to the usual dark markings and slarkei. 

 the half-band at the end of the cell an indistinct bar in the cell of the forewing. In other re- 

 spects this form approaches adina. — A form from western Ecuador, similar to zabina and starkei, which I 

 call semonis form, nov., has broad vitreous wings with narrow dark margins and red-brown subcostal, as semonis. 

 well as dark half-band and whitish spot at the costal margin of the forewing. On the under surface very 

 minute whitish dots are placed in the dark distal border of the yellow-brown margins. 



P. ladra Sigr.. from Ecuador, has similar wing-contour to ticida. The margins are brown above, ladra. 

 yellow-brown beneath except the yellowish costal margin of the hindwing. The end of the cell of the fore- 

 vcing has no markings. 



P. minna Schaus, from Bolivia, is said to have transparent wings of 65 mm. expanse; with narrow viinna. 

 dark margins and a yellow streak at the costal margin of the forewing, which is continued in a patch at 

 the end of the cell. There are also yellowish patches at the distal margin. The subcostal of the fore- 

 wing is red-brown. On the hindwing the cell and the inner margin are dusted with yellowish. On the 

 under surface the margins are red-brown, with 3 white, dark-edged spots in the distal margin of the hindwing. 



P. ilsia Schaus, also from Bolivia, is said to be smaller, with broad brown and white half-band at ilsia. 

 the end of the cell of the forewing; apex broadly brown. 



P. medellina Hsch. (40 e), from Venezuela and Colombia, is a smaller species with fairly uniformly medellina. 

 broad dark margins and triangular half-band as well as white spot at the end of the cell of the forewing. 

 In the basal part both wings are dusted with yellowish. — ozia Heiv. is a very similar form from Ecuador, ozia. 

 with yellowish club to the antenna. 



P. antisao Bates (40 d), from the Upper Amazon, has a sulphur-yellow oblique band at the end of antisao. 

 the cell of the forewing to the distal margin. In the (J the median and subcostal of the forewing are onlj' 

 slightly yellow-brown, in the $ very broadly; here also the veins in the disc of the hindwing, as well as a 

 more or less broad stripe in the dark distal margin, are yellow-brown. 



P. simplex Sale. (40 b), from Costa Eica and Panama, has delicate wings with narrow brown mar- simplex. 

 gins; yellow-brown subcostal and white spot at the narrow half-band of the forewing. On the under sur- 

 face the veins are yellow-brown with indistinct dots at the apex. In the $ the margins are broader, half- 

 band and white spot larger. Before the distal margins are placed whitish dots. 



P. nepiscada Hsch., from southern Peru, is a similar, smaller species, which recalls forms of Epi- neplscada. 

 scada. Subcostal and median of the forewing are broadly yellow-brown. The spot at the end of the cell 

 is yellowish. On the under surface an elongate j^ellow-brown spot is separated off at the costal margin by 

 sulphur-yellow bordering and there are yellow dots in the apex of both wings. 



P. sylvo Hbn., from Guiana, Venezuela and Brazil, in an insignificant-looking species, similar to sylw. 

 alissa, with wedge-shaped dark spot at the end of the cell of the forewing and white spot at the costal 

 margin, as well as a streak at the end of the upper discocellular and a whitish patch in the hinder angle. 

 — carlia Schaus, from Central Brazil, is probably, if not the same, at least a very similar form. carlia. 



P. hetnixanthe Fldr. (40 d), from Central Brazil, ha^^the^ proximal half of both wings strongly hcmixanlhe. 

 dusted with yellow. In this it resembles the smaller euritea IthttL (= eudema Godt.) (40 d), from the same eurilea. 

 district. The latter has, however, dark bands across the end of the cell and at the inner margin of the 

 forewing, which are absent in hemixanthe; the present species on the other hand has a large reddish dot at 

 the base of the hindwing beneath. 



P. cotytto Guer. (40 c), from Central America and Mexico, has a broad black-brown apex to the cotytto. 

 forewing and a broad half-band at the end of the cell, together with a white oblique band, which extends 

 to the distal margin. The subcostal is red-brown. ■ — parva Salv., from Costa Eica, is smaller than parva. 

 cotytto, with narrower black apex to the forewing.
