lycoides: nigridorsalis form, nov., to an almost entirely orange-yellow abdomen, on which only the last segments 
remain black: flavidorsalis form. nov. (25 1). — Mexico to Guatemala. 
C. obtusa Druce (25 1) is exteriorly almost just like the preceding, from which it differs by entirely 
yellow palpi, legs, and underside, which are black in the other species. The hindwings are much more extensively 
hyaline diaphanous. Guatemala, Venezuela (Merida). 
C. semitransversa Schaus. Head and thorax black. Vertex, neck and base of shoulder-covers spotted 
ochreous-brown. Abdomen black, lateral stripes and the underside except the 2 last rings oc-hreous-brown. 
Forewings ochreous-brown with a black discal band as far as the submedian and a black apical spot striped 
bluish-grey as in obtusa. Hindwings transparent blackish-brown with black veins and distal margin, the costal 
margin being spotted yellow. Expanse of wings: 39 mm. Costa Rica. 
C. agnonides Druce (25 1) has much more extensively yellow forewings than the allies: the black 
apical spot only extends to the upper median vein, on the lower radial the yellow ground-colour penetrates 
far into it. In the middle of the cell there is a roundish black spot, below which and at the proximal margin 
there is yet some dark shading. Nicaragua, Peru. 
C. rufescens Rothsch. (25 1) is distinguished by the deep orange-red-brown colour of the f'orewings, 
the marking being similar as in the preceding species, but the discal band consists more of a black costal spot, 
being rounded off below and slightly touching the broadly black proximal margin; in the apical spot lavender- 
blue stripes; the hindwings are almost entirely black; the abdomen shows an intense steel-blue lustre. Venezuela, 
Colombia (Muzo). 
C. fulvescens Dogn. (25 1) is distinguished by rather thinly scaled, blackish-brown forewings, only 
the base, the whole costal margin, the median and vein 1 being dull red-brown; hindwings blackish, semi-dia¬ 
phanous, costa red-brown. On the under surface the wings are blackish-brown with broad orange costal margins. 
Body bluish-black, head, collar, thorax, and the ventral side of the 3 first abdominal rings red-brown. Forehips 
orange, legs black, spotted white. Panama (Lino). 
C. af finis Druce (26 b) on the orange wings exhibits only a roundish, bluish-black apical spot; the 
hindwing is hyaline in the basal half, orange at the costal margin, with a blackish-brown border. The abdomen 
is black, laterally striped orange, but not as far as the end; the first 4 rings are beneath orange. Mexico, Guatemala. 
C. raca Druce (26 m). Head, legs and abdomen are black; vertex, palpal base, thorax, spots on 
the legs, lateral stripes and the underside of the 1st to 5th rings orange. Tarsi ringed white. Forewings all 
orange with black fringes. Hindwings semi-diaphanous, towards the margin blackish, at the Postal margin 
orange. Expanse of wings: 40 mm. Panama (Chiriqui). 
C. flavata Druce. Head, abdomen and legs are black, the latter ringed white; hindhead, collar and 
thorax orange-red. Forewings orange, hindwings black, towards the base hyaline. On the under surface, both 
wings are black, only the base and costal margin of the forewing are orange. Expanse of wings: 46 mm. Colombia. 
C. germana Rothsch. is larger than minima, of a lighter colour, with a much broader yellow base 
and transverse band of the forewing. Length of forewings: 14 mm. Venezuela; Ecuador; Peru; Bolivia. 
C. minima Druce (26 a). This very small species in its exterior exactly resembles a Correbidia termi- 
nalis, but it is only half as large. Venezuela; French Guiana. 
C. felderi Rothsch., according to the short description, greatly resembles minima, but it is much darker, 
with a much narrower transverse band and almost entirely absent orange colouring at the base. It may 
be identical with the following ? Amazon. 
C. obscura Schaus. The body is black; an orange stripe extends from the antennae across the collar 
to the shoulders. Palpi at the base and near the tips yellow. Femoral base white and yellow, legs otherwise 
black, tarsi ringed yellow. The black forewings exhibit a postmedian, yellow-reddish transverse band being 
brown below the cell, extending from the costa to the proximal margin. Hindwings diaphanous blackish, 
with darker veins, costal and distal margin. Expanse of wings: 20 mm. French Guiana. 
C. elongata Dogn. (26 a). Head black and blue; thorax and abdomen brick-red, shoulder-covers 
brown; legs brown with red femora. The venter shows a series of white dots. Forewings red-brown with a 
yellow, triangular inner-angular spot. Hindwings hyaline with blackish-brown veins and marginal band. Ex¬ 
panse of wings: 34 mm. Loja (Ecuador).
