EUPACKARDIA; CALLOSAMIA. By Dr M. Draudt. 
martha. smaller than in erycina. — martha Rothsch. is similar to nigrescens, but less blackened in the median area, the 
pink area in the hindwing broader than the marginal area; the brown band outside of it narrower than in 
nigrescens, and lighter brown. The black submarginal spots on the hindwing are smaller, the distal streaks 
vinacea. thinner; hyaline spots still smaller than in nigrescens. Sa. Martha. — vinacea Rothsch. is in the median 
area of a brighter wine-colour than e. erycina , the black borders of the transverse lines are broader, the hyaline 
spots larger, on the forewing the spot at the apex of the hyaline spot black, the red subterminal area is narrower, 
outside bordered by an undulate pure white or yellowish-white line; the blackish-brown line clistally to it 
narrower than in the other forms; the spots on the hindwing distally to the pink area are deeper brown than in 
luciana. erycina , the submarginal spots blacker. South-East Peru. — luciana Rothsch. is a West-Indian insular form, 
hitherto ascertained in Sa. Lucia; ground-colour dingy tan-coloured, in the median area only slightly tinted 
red, the white transverse lines broad, the posterior line in the costal portion on the forewing not dentate, the 
ochreous border of this line broad; the subterminal area at the apex of the hyaline spot but little darker than 
the apical part of the costal-marginal area, the grey subterminal band distally bordered with reddish-brown; 
the white line from the apex to the hyaline spot behind more remote from the blackish postmedian line than 
in the other subspecies; the loamy grey submarginal band is subapically lobately expanded inwards. On the 
hindwing the black submarginal spots are small. - According to the kind information by Dr. .Jordan, the 
type of satyrus is a very dark specimen of erycina being painted over except some small places, the under 
surface dull blackish-brown, darker than in all the other specimens though not painted over. 
hopfferi. R. hopfferi Fldr. ( — pegasus Bsdv. i. 1.) (103 b) is more yellowish-brown than erycina, the apex of the 
forewing especially in the $ more prolonged, the hyaline spots of the forewing longer, triangular; the lower- 
side is the longest, on the hindwing a very long rhombus with entirely parallel sides. Brazil (Bahia, Sa. 
rhombifer. Catharina). — rhombifer Burm. is nothing hut a somewhat browner form with broader wings and a less produced 
apex of the forewing, from Argentina and Paraguay. 
splendidus. R. splendidus Beauv. ( — hesperus Or., belus M. <±-. W.) (103 b) is smaller than the preceding species, of a 
dark red-brown ground-colour, the apex of the hyaline spot on the forewing projects far beyond the postmedian 
line, the basal side of it prolonged in an appendage to the costal margin, the subterminal area almost as dark 
as the median area, especially also the large subapical area. Distributed from Mexico to Southern Brazil. — 
mexicana. In the much smaller Mexican form: niexicana /. n. both the wings are shorter, the hindwings rounder; the 
hyaline spots are smaller, the large subapical area lighter, the white postmedian line outside bordered by a 
pinkish-red line, the subterminal area behind it broader than in the nomenclatural form, lighter pinkish-grey, 
parted by a whitish line; the marginal area is apically more yellow, in the lower half parted by a distinct darker 
submarginal undulate line. Thorax and abdomen lighter claret-coloured. Huatusco. Type in Coll. Draudt. 
Larva green with white oblique stripes traversing 2 rings from in front above to behind below, and red anal 
feet. It lives on orange trees. 
sacateca. R. zacateca Westw. (103 c) is not to be confounded with any other species by the uncommonly large 
oval hyaline spots; ground-colour black, brightened by dark cerise; the transparent postmedian line is very 
near to the margin, the small black diaphanous subapical spot surrounded by bright carmine. The $ is much 
redder, with a broader subterminal area which is strewn with bluish-grey. Colombia (Bogota). 
3. Genus: l^iipackartlia Ckll. 
This genus was established for a single species, the exterior of which is already more similar to the 
genus Callosamia} but also has some resemblance to Rothschildia, and is allied to R. condor, as we mentioned 
at that place. The shape of the wings is generally somewhat broader and rounder, the discal spot no more 
transparent, but scaled, and exactly shaped as in the Sarnia- species. In the neuration there is no essential 
difference to be found. Palpi somewhat longer. 
calleta. E. calleta West ic. ( = polyommata Tepp.) (101b). Blackish grey, fore wing with 2 white transverse 
bands, the anterior one narrow and angular, the posterior one broad, flatly S-shaped, behind it a series of blue- 
pupilled black small eyespots, the uppermost of which is larger and outside bordered by deep carmine. Hindwdng 
only with the distal band. Discal spot tricuspidate arrow-shaped, or more or less reduced, it is either absent 
semicaeca, on the hindwing = semicaeca Ckll., or on both wings = caeca /. n., as in a $ specimen of my own collection. 
caeca. Guatemala and Mexico, from where it penetrates to North America (Arizona). The larva has the same shape 
as Phil, cynthia, but the tubercles are much thicker and larger. Green, the tubercles at the thickened base red, 
above it turquoise blue, the small short spines black. Legs and anal shield yellow, the yellow prolegs basally 
black, it lives on cherry. 
4. Genus: Callosamfa Pack. 
Very closely allied to the preceding genus, distinguished by the very distinct sexual dimorphism. They 
are somewhat smaller species, the scheme of marking recalling that of E. calleta, lut the postdiscal band is
