C. samarca Schaus (22 k) bears an extraordinary resemblance to the preceding, but it is smaller samurca. 
and of a much more graceful structure. Palpi above black, beneath white. Body above of a brilliant blue, 
abdomen with subdorsal and lateral white stripes, below which there is a black sublateral band, the underside 
being white; forehips white. Wings almost exactly coloured and marked as in the preceding. Expanse of wings: 
25 mm. Bolivia. 
C. amata Bruce (22 i) is very much like Phoenicia, but the red spot of the forewing is smaller and amaiu. 
does not extend as far as the base; on the hindwings the red is confined to an oval antemarginal spot, the inner- 
marginal area being broad and extensively metallic blue, aircl on the forewing the blue basal spot is considerably 
larger, too; the $ shows almost no red at all on the hindwings above. The species is besides considerably larger. 
Colombia; Peru (Chanchamayo). 
C. baroni Bothsch. Head and collar metallic green, abdomen above metallic blue, the underside is baroni. 
yellow. Forewings chocolate-brown, costa, and base of the inner margin orange, below the base of the cell a 
short scarlet stripe. Hindwings dark brown, fringes yellow and orange. A large, cuneiform discal spot, being 
metallic blue in the proximal half, distally red, extends from the base to the margin. Ecuador. 
C. hurama Btlr. (22 k) has the forewings marked similarly as in alonzo, but the streak in the cell- hurama. 
end is longer. The hindwings are entirely black, with a blue tinge at the base, and broad, yellowish-white fringes. 
Ecuador, Bolivia, Amazon. — In subgloriosa Stgr. (22 a) there appear bluish-green, silvery, postdiscal stripes subgloriosa. 
in the cell-spaces. 
C. pretiosa Burm. Blackish-brown, suffused with metallic blue. Forehips, femora and tibiae inside pretiosa. 
white. Forewings at the base with blue spots; in and below the base of the cell, as well as behind the lower 
cell-angle there are carmine spots. Hindwings blue. Fringes of both wings white. Expanse of wings: 24 mm. 
Argentina. 
C. perilla Druce (23 a). Head and thorax blackish-brown, with bluish-green spots, the abdomen i^eriUa. 
with narrow, metallic green segmental lines. The brown forewings exhibit a bluish-green spot at the base of 
the costal margin, below the base of the cell, and behind the cell, small red spots. The hindwings are, in the 
9, red in the larger costal halves. Known only from Ecuador. 
C. basimacula limps. (23 a) is distinguished by deep-blue hindwings being bordered with black, basimacula. 
without any red above, whilst it is so beneath; the brown forewings are spotted bluish-green, at the base 
with a small carmine spot below the base of the cell, beneath extensively blue with a large, red, post¬ 
discal spot. The abdomen is of an extremely intensely metallic lustrous light bluish-green, with a white ventral 
stripe. Fringes of the hindwings white. Amazon, Ecuador. 
C. bertha Druce (22 k). The body is blackish-brown, with green spots on the head, thorax and legs, fyertha. 
the abdomen finely curled in a metallic green. Forewings dark brown, with green stripes at the costal base, 
carmine stripes below the cell-base. Hindwings suffused with blue, with a carmine spot behind the cell, turning 
round the lower cell-angle. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Ecuador. 
C. obscura Druce (22 k) extremely resembles chloe, but the fringes of the forewings are brown, those dbscura. 
of the hindwings whitish. Tne underside is extensively metallic blue, without any red spots. Peru. 
C. buckleyi Druce (23 a) is one of the largest species, greatly resembling bertha above, though buckleyi. 
it is very much distinguished by quite orange-yellow fringes. The abdomen, being blackish-brown above, with 
silvery green ring-indentations, is beneath entirely golden green. The hindwings exhibit a large red spot behind 
the cell and 2 sharply defined ones below it. Ecuador and Bolivia. 
C. chloe Druce (23 a) is much smaller than the preceding, the hindwings exhibit only a small red chloe. 
spot behind the cell at the costal margin. The forewings are beneath not spotted red behind the cell, as is the 
case in buckleyi. Ecuador. 
C. agyrtidia Hmps. (23 b) is one of the smallest species resembling Agyrta, with a large, cuneiform agyrtidia. 
hyaline spot below the cell, and a postdiscal spot being composed of 3 spots, the hindwings being extensively 
hyaline, with a black border and white proximal margin. Forehead, collar and shoulder-covers spotted white, 
legs striped white; the abdomen is suffused with blue, and beneath white. Peru (Pachitea); Bolivia. 
C. chelidon Druce (23 b) is very easily recognizable by the large, postdiscal hyaline spot being chelidon. 
bordered with smalt; the forewings, being otherwise black, exhibit metallic light blue stripes subcostally and 
on vein 1. The hindwings exhibit a narrow hyaline stripe bordered with blue in, below and behind the cell. The 
fringes at the apex of the forewing are white. Distributed from Colombia to the Amazon. 
C. glaucopoides Whr. (23 b) is smaller than the preceding, the postdiscal hyaline spot of the forewing glaucopoi- 
is not bordered with blue, on the whole somewhat smaller and narrower; the metallic greenish-blue stripes des - 
on the innermarginal vein and the subcostal are much narrower. Peru, Venezuela, Amazon. 
C. dognini Bothsch. Head, antennae, and terminal joint of the palpi black, the rest of the palpi dognini. 
and chest orange-yellow, thorax sooty blackish-brown. Abdomen black, suffused with purple blue, with an
