the greenish coppery other segments with black ring-indentations and dorsal line; the segments 3 and 4 show 
bluish-white lateral spots, the last ring subdorsal white spots. Described from Peru. The species also looks 
very much like impellucida (17 f), the form of sylva described above. 
Ph. bacchans Schaus. Body black; tips of antennae and ends of tarsi white. The basal joint of the bacchans. 
antennae, vertex, collar, shoulders and metathorax show white dots. Legs striped blue. The abdomen shows 
dorsal, lateral and sublateral rows of white and blue dots. The black forewings are in the larger basal halves 
suffused with golden green, with a white dot at the base. Hindwings black with a green spot behind the lower 
cell-corner. Expanse of wings: 46 mm. Peru. 
Ph. pinocha Dogn. differs from the preceding by its entirely black abdomen with metallic green lateral pinocha. 
stripes and only beneath some white dots, as well as quite black antennae. The hindwings are velvety black, 
dusted metallic green along the costal margin, and at the proximal margin with some metallic blue scales. All 
the rest as in bacchans. Expanse of wings: 34 mm. Ecuador (Loja). 
Ph. aurata Schaus. Body black; forehead, vertex, collar and shoulders with white dots; on the meta- aurata. 
thorax there is a light golden spot. Hips and posterior tibiae spotted white. The 2 first abdominal rings exhibit 
subdorsal white spots, the others yellow spots; a sublateral row of spots and the ventral side are yellow. Wings 
black, suffused with golden yellow. Expanse of wings: 46 mm. Peru. 
Ph. caeruleonigra Schaus (17 g). Head and thorax bluish-black, the abdomen more greenish-blue, caeruleoni- 
The articular ends of the legs, forehips, sides of the forehead, and hindhead exhibit white dots. Wings silky 9 ra%

Large species with a magnificent golden green and coppery lustre, the with long-combed antennae 
and erect palpi. Thorax and abdominal base covered with long hair, and with lateral hair-tufts on the last 
segments. In contrast with the preceding genus, the two upper subcostal veins on the forewing rise from the cell. 
Ch. principalis Wkr. (17 g). Head and thorax black; palpal base, forehead, vertex, collar, sides of principalis. 
thorax, and hips with white spots. Abdomen with golden green bands warming towards the anal end by copper 
into metallic carmine, the ventral side with white transverse bands. Forewings black, in the basal third with 
a large, golden green spot; from the cell-end to the proximal angle extends a large green spot with a somewhat 
more coppery lustre, and in the apical third there are green stripes noticeable between the veins. A small hyaline 
spot in the middle of the cell, a larger one below it; at the cell-end a small spot and four behind it. Hind¬ 
wings black with a blue reflection and 2 hyaline spots. It is found in Mexico and Guatemala. 
Ch. regalis Bsd. (17 g) resembles the preceding, though it is somewhat smaller and all the white regalis. 
spots are smaller, the one in the middle of the cell being absent; besides, the white spots are absent on the 
collar and shoulder-covers; the cell-end is quite blackish-blue, the abdomen unicolorously bluish-green. Colombia, 
Ecuador, Argentina. — ab. quadripunctata Dogn. from Ecuador (Loja) has on the forewings only 3 small hyaline quadripunc- 
spots, on the hindwings only the one at the base. iaia - 
Ch. plebeja H.-Schaff. (— opulenta Wkr.) (17 k) looks something like ignita (17 i), but without any plebeja. 
hyaline spots. The body is black, with a slight coppery lustre. Forewings metallic green, at the costal and 
distal margins black; the parts below and behind the cell more coppery lustrous. In the middle of the cell there 
is a black longitudinal spot, from the inner corner of which a black stripe runs vertically to the proximal margin. 
Hindwings bluish-black. Expanse of Avings: 56 mm. Venezuela. 
Ch. gigantea Druce (17 h). Forewings greenish lustrous, before the middle more copper-coloured, gigantea. 
with a black discal part, two antemeclian and 5 postmedian hyaline spots; the green hindwings exhibit a large 
hyaline spot below the cell and 3 spots between the lower median and 1st radial \ r ein. The body is blackish-

Ch. splendens Dogn. (17 h). Body brownish-black; head, mesothorax and legs with a green metallic splendcm.

the 3 last rings and the venter quite green; on the middle rings 2 white lateral spots. Wings metallic green 
with a coppery lustre. Behind the middle of the costa a triangular black spot extending doAA'n as far as the 
2nd median. Proximally to it in the cell a small hyaline spot, another one in the upper cell-corner, and 
a third is situate between the 2nd median and 4th radial, and a small one above the upper radial vein.
