white ; marginal spots yellow, large, and triangular, their apices 

 almost touching the postdiscal spots. 

 Hob. Peru, 1 <$ . 



This form is probably the same as the specimen recorded as 

 jlisa H.-Sch. by Weymer & Maasen, Lepidoptera, p. 73 (1890), 

 from Tambo Almirante. We do not know another record of this 

 species from Peru. 



Oatasticta lathyi, sp. n. 



Allied to philais Feld., from Colombia. 



d . Colour above nearly as in manco Doubl. and pattern 

 similar, but easily distinguished by the brown margin of the 

 hind wing and different underside. Differs from philais above 

 in colour, philais being brown ; the pattern is the same, but the 

 dark margin of the hind wing is broader. 



Underside of fore wing with reducel cell-streak ; marginal 

 spots smaller but more produced proximally, forming streaks ; 

 the spots of the postdiscal series are smaller. These markings, 

 which are brown in philais, are here grey-white. Hind winy 

 with markings very much as in philais, but the yellow intra- 

 neural distal streaks longer. 



Length of fore wing 26 mm. 



Bab. Loja, Ecuador, 1 <S . Also in the Tring Museum from 

 the following places : Loja ; Zamora, Ecuador, 3000-4000 feet ; 

 Cushi, Huanuco, Cent. Peru, 1820 m. 



Catasticta nimbice peruviana, subsp. n. 



d . Distinguished by the more rounded wings and paler 

 markings. The cliscal spot in 4 on the fore iving is much 

 smaller than the spot above it ; spots in 7 and 8 absent ; post- 

 discal spot in 3 shifted inwards ; no marginal dots. Hind wing 

 with the pale band widened and its outer edge nearer the post- 

 discal spots ; spot in 3 shifted inwards ; spots in 2 and 4 farther 

 from the band than the others. 



Underside of fore wing with the band, cell-spot, and lower five 

 postdiscal spots pale straw-colour. Hind wing with the discal 

 band reduced distally, the spot at base of 2 being smaller, and 

 widened proximally ; postdiscal and marginal spots larger. The 

 markings which are orange-yellow in nimbice are bright yellow 

 in peruviana.
