C. claudicula Dalm. (17 d). Pectinations of the A short, surmounted with fascicles of cilia. Hindleg of 
the o very short and weak. Easy to recognize by the black posterior borders and by the streak along the 
median vein of the hindwing. Black parts broader in the $ than in the Brazil, from the Lower Amazon 
to Sao Paulo, common in the Rio district, the type locality. — catabathmus subsp. nov. On an average smaller 
(<3 30—32 mm, $ 35 mm), longitudinal black streak of hindwing relatively attenuated, the proximal yellow 
spot of the forewing somewhat truncate, i. e. terminating in a steeper curve, so as to fall more perpendicularly 
on the submedian vein; tegula without the yellow mark. Santa Catharina: Blumenau, 3 CS and 1 $ in the 
British Museum; others, less exactly localized, show the same tendencies in varying degrees. — ab. filigera nov., 
a A from Neu Bremen, Rio Laeiss (F. Hoffmann), expanding 34 mm, has the forewing of typical catabathmus, 
the streak of the hindwing reduced to a fine line on the 2nd median and a few black scales along the median 
itself. The same aberration can also occur in almost typical claudicula, a A in the Tring Museum, unfortunately 
without locality-label, measuring 38 mm. 
C. radiata W arr. Very large (unless ‘‘46 mm” is a misprint). Forewing with the oblique yellow mark 
wedge-shaped, placed between median and 2nd submedian, ending bluntly rounded on fod at %; a very small 
longitudinal streak in front of it, in middle of cell; outer patch large, oval, its distal edge slightly waved. 
Hindwing with distal and abdominal margins black, as well as end of costal margin; a longitudinal central 
black streak, diffused at its edges. Nova Friburgo, Brazil, type A ; I have recently seen 2 smaller AC and incline 
to suspect in it a striking aberration of claudicula, akin to ab. filigera. 
C. angusta Warr. (17 c), founded on a pair from Reyes, Bolivia, agrees nearly with claudicula in struc¬ 
ture, but has the A hindtibia thicker and lacks the longitudinal yellow patch of the forewing; there is a faint 
cell-ring on the outer spot; the hindwing is predominantly black, the yellow patch at base of medians rather 
less small in the type A than in the figured allotype. 
C. jatropharia L. (= jatrophae Him.) (17 d). Somewhat narrower-winged than claudicula, at least 
in the and lacking the black posterior border of both wings, costal border of hindwing and longitudinal 
stripe of the latter; A with pectinations longer, midleg fringed on femur and distal part of tibia, hindleg strongly 
clavate and with femoro-tibial hair-tuft. Outer yellow patch of forewing variable in size and slightly in shape, 
but always much narrower at costal end than posteriorly. Distributed in Venezuela (with Trinidad and Tobago 
Island), the Guianas and the Lower Amazon. — ab. loc. puta Strand. The Trinidad AA> more uniformly than 
those from the Guianas, have the yellow outer spot strongly narrowed anteriorly, almost pear-shaped. — osiris 
Cram. (17 d) has the black much increased in extent, particularly so the border of the hindwing. So far as I 
have seen, it appears to be localized in the eastern part of British Guiana and I suspect that Cramer’s type 
locality “Surinam” may have referred to territory which was subsequently ceded to the British. A single $ 
from Rio Javary, ca. 800 feet is closely similar. 
C. ovata Warr. (17 d). I supposed this to be a western form of jatropharia , but find that the A. midleg 
is not tufted. Further distinguished by the more regularly oval, commonly broadened, outer yellow patch of 
the forewing. It was described from Carabaya (type) and Bolivia, but extends, with little variation, through 
Ecuador and Costa Rica to Nicaragua and British Honduras. 
C. protmeta sp. n. (17 d). $, 43—46 mm. Quite near to ovata, with the same long slender palpus, the 
same build of abdomen, etc., possibly a large, broad-winged form of that species. Tegula with the yellew mark 
very small, punctiform. Characterized by the almost complete loss of the transverse band of the forewing, 
thus bearing nearly the same relation to ovata as typical Atyriodes albiventris to ab. pachiteae. The paratype 
is not quite so large as the figured type and has the distal borders somewhat less broad, the yellow area nearly 
reaching the costa in front of the areoles, the black costal border more protuberant in the direction of the lost 
band. Pebas. Loreto, the type, and “Peru” (probably Amazonian), the paratype, both collected for Ober- 
thur by M. de Mathan. A C, very similar to the paratype though slightly intermediate, has been found in 
the Tring Museum, merely labelled “Ecuador (Buckley)”, i. e. E. Ecuador, perhaps Sarayacu; expanse 41 mm. 
eurychoma subsp. nov. A 38 mm, $ A 40—43 mm. Border of hindwing considerably broadened, about 4 mm 
wide in the <$, 5 mm or more in the forewing also with an increase of the black, though this is chiefly in 
the direction of a restoration of the transverse band, triangular expansions of the tornal and costal borders 
almost (on the A underside quite) meeting at the fold (compare A. albiventris ab. velina). — ab. osiriodes nov. 
A large $ (45 mm) has the transverse band fully developed; very like jatropharia osiris except in the ample, 
rounded outer yellow spot. Iquitos, the A type (Mus. Brit.) collected by M. de Mathan, the 3 $5 (Mus. Tring) 
by G. Klug. 
C. postica Walk. (17 d). Palpus and pectinations appreciably less long than in jatropharia; abdomen 
yellow laterally, but white ventrally (in jatropharia both these areas are yellow, but with a black dividing-line); 
forewing with the proximal yellow patch much more extended anteriorly. Venezuela. Dognin in an early
