PHELL1N0DES. By L. B. Prout. 
rubcdi- Ph. rubedinaria Walk. (2 c) is lighter and less uniform than the two preceding species, the 2 black 
naria. ce H-(lots of the forewing stronger, the apex of the hindwing almost white. Common from Mexico to Ecuador 
and the Amazons, besides Cuba, Trinidad and French Guiana; Walker’s type was from Honduras. 
ustrinaria. Ph. ustrinaria H.-Sch. (2 c). White with faint brown-grey irroration and strigulation; the only con¬ 
spicuous marking is the dark postmedian spot on R 2 . Panama, the Guianas and Peru, type from Surinam. 
albida. Ph. albida Schaits. (2 d). “Upperside white; on costa at base some black striae. Underneath white, a black 
spot and striae at base of costa, and minute apical points on fore wings; on hindwings some fine striae on 
costa, and two black points near inner margin. Expanse 33 mm.” Brazil: Rio Janeiro and Santa Catharina. 
leuco- Ph. leucophasiata Th.-Mieg ( = divisa Warr.) (2 c). A strikingly distinct species and not variable. 
phasiata. E cua dor and Peru. 
albimacula. Ph. albimacula Warr., of which only the type is known, resembles snbornata (2 d) in size, shape and 
colouring, but has the costal yellowish patch ill-defined and extending (though narrowly) nearly to the base, 
the white sjiot roundish, with a short and slender dash projecting from its anterior side. Paramba, W. Ecuador. 
leuco- Ph. leucopiethes Prout (2 d). Distal margin entire. Forewing with two white anterior spots, the costal 
pleihes. i ar g 6j anc l a great part of the forewing posteriorly white; hindwing white with a dark border. E. Ecuador: 
Rio Pastaza and Intaj. 
snbornata. Ph. subomata Warr. (2 d) is again readily recognizable by the shape of the white markings. Underside 
dotted and strigulated with white, the forewing posteriorly to the cell and to M 1 (almost to distal margin) 
clear white. S.E. Peru: Carabaya. 
desueta. Pll. desueta sp. n. (2 d). Size of snbornata, or scarcely larger, but with the forewing relatively rather 
longer (distal margin somewhat more oblique). Antennal ciliation rather longer. Forewing more brownish, 
posteriorly less irrorated with pale scales, beneath without a clear white area; costal patch with its posterior 
part more ochreous; fringes more mixed with white. Colombia: Pueblo Rico, San Juan, Choco, 5200 feet, 
September 1909, 3 GS and 1 $ in coll. Joicey; San Antonio, 1 <§ in coll. Prout. Ecuador: Balzapamba, a <$ 
in coll. Brit. Mus. 
paularia. Ph. paularia Schaus (2 e). Hindwing rather whiter than in biapicata, forewing with the apical patch 
brighter and with some similarly-coloured suffusion in the region of the tornus. Matto Grosso to Castro, Parana. 
biapicata. Pll. biapicata Prout, (2 d). Recognizable from our figure. From its nearest relative, paularia, differen¬ 
tiable as noted above and by having a moderately distinct antemedian line on the forewing and stronger 
dark borders to the hind wing. Peru: Rio Ucayali. 
intermedia. Ph. intermedia Dogn. (= gratiosa Schaus). Apical patch darker and more sharply defined, distal 
margin of forewing more oblique posteriorly, most of the wing coloured more nearly as in Hedyle. Hindwing 
with elongate white central streak from base, broadening and rounding distally, not reaching termen. Costa 
Rica and Colombia. 
coscoja. Ph. coscoja Dogn. (2 e) resembles the first few species of the following section in the form of the 
apical patch, but the fore wing is relatively shorter and the $ hindwing is without specialisation. Colombia to 
Bolivia, the type from Ecuador. 
B. Section Phellinodes Guen. Hindwing of with a diaphanous fovea in the 
cell, often with the venation more or less distorted. 
albistria. Ph. albistria Prout. Size of coscoja (2e); apical patch as in bahiata (2 e) but with its proximal white 
edging forming more distinct dots, relatively larger than those of uniformis (2 e), and with an oblique white 
streak from behind this patch to middle of costa; some dark clouding in the cell beyond its middle. S.E. and 
E. Peru. 
bahiata. Ph. bahiata Feld. (2 e). Rather larger and more reddish; distinguished by the moderate or large black 
mark on the discocellulars. Sexes similar. Distributed from Bahia to the Guianas, Ecuador and Peru. 
uniformis. Ph. uniformis Warr. (2 e). Exceedingly like, a small dull-coloured o-form of sateUitiata, but evidently 
a valid species. See the differentiations below. The 9 is not known, unless interrupts may represent it. $ common 
from Colombia to Bolivia, described from E. Ecuador. A J from Itatiaya (Dr. Seitz) does not appear to differ. 
sateUitiata. Ph. satellstiata Guen. (tf = praecostalis Dogn.) (2 d). A rather large species, with pronounced sexual 
dimorphism. $ like a larger, rather darker, browner uniformis, apical patch browner (at least distally), a very 
ill-defined, slightly paler postmedian spot behind the 2nd median of the forewing and one between the radials 
of the hindwing. $ much brighter than <$, with large triangular white spot proximally to the apical patch
