triangulum. Ph. triangulum R. db J. (= lycaon Btlr., licaon Ky., pandorus Drc.) (98 b a) is very similar, but of a 
more sepia-brown colour; the subajncal costal-marginal spot is not cut off on vein 7, but it extends with a 
triangular point down to vein 6; the creamy white inner-marginal stripe is almost entirely absent; the distinctly 
undulated transverse lines are very prominent. Hindwing with a very thick median spot. Mexico to Bolivia. 
Early stages unknown. 
satellitia. Ph. satellitia Dru. (= lycaon Maass.) resembles triangulum) of a most variable colouring and marking, so 
that a number of subspecies have been founded. Recognizable by the double cell-end spot and the fine reddish 
inner-marginal stripe of the forewing, the anal part of the hindwing mostly showing a red tinge, the trapezoid 
spot before the centre of the inner margin of the forewing is well defined also inwards. In the nomenclatural 
form from Jamaica the forewing is suffused with pink, the $ is more whitish-grey than continental specimens. 
'pandorus. — pandorus Hbn. (= satellitia Harris, ampelophaga Wkr.) (98 C a) is the North American form with a more 
olive green ground-colour; the inner-marginal area from the base to the trapezoid spot is almost just as dark 
green as the latter itself, veins 2 and 3 are of a distinct reddish flesh-colour. Uisc of hindwing more bluish, the 
anal portion generally with a pink tint. The light dorsal stripe on the abdomen is scarcely lighter than the 
intermedia, subdorsal spots accompanying it. Canada to Georgia, to the west as far as the Mississippi. — intermedia Clark 
(98 C c) is presumably the most similar to licaon and pandorus, but without the green tinge the colour being 
more light grey and light brown. Hindwing basally yellowish-grey, anally with an extremely faint pink tinge. 
licaon. Gulf States, to the west as far as Texas and New Mexico. — licaon Cr. (satellitia Wkr.) (98 G b) is usually of a duller 
colouring, less contrastingly coloured, more brownish and never so green as North-American specimens, the 
basal inner-marginal area much lighter than the trapezoid spot. Hindwing more yellowish-grey, the anal part 
analis. scarcely pink. Mexico to North Brazil and Bolivia. — analis R. & J. (= licaon Hbn., satellitia Burm., postieatus 
Btlr., lycaon Burm.) (98 C b) resembles licaon, but it has a bright pink anal-angular spot of the hindwing. South 
rosea. Brazil from Espiritu Santo down to the south; Paraguay, Argentina. — rosea Closs refers to very light and 
excessus . reddish specimens of the analis- race from Brazil (Matto Grosso). — excessus Gehlen is the most similar to analis. 
Ground-colour of forewing brownish olive-grey, the whole obliquely cut off apical half is darker than the basal 
half, with hardly any bands; hindwing almost as in postieatus, the dark marginal band very much reduced, the 
postieatus. anal spots continued as a line. From Matto Grosso. — postieatus Grt. (= satellitia Luc., lycaon Grt., licaon 
Ottol.) (98 C b) is somewhat similar to the form analis, but the whole postdiscal area of the fore wing is distinctly 
silvery grey like the interior border-line of the trapezoid spot. The dark margin of the hindwing is almost 
entirely absent, the small black subanal spots are continued as a line almost to the costal margin. Cuba; 
cinnamo- Bahamas, Florida. — cinnamomea Closs is a form of the race postieatus suffused with a reddish-brown cinnamon- 
mea. co i our w ith an indistinct marking. From Cuba, Guantanamo. — Larva green with 5 or 6 lateral oblique spots 
and fine black dots, especially on the 4th segment. It turns brown shortly before the metamorphosis. It lives 
on Vitis and Ampelopsis. 
macasen- Ph. macasensis Clark resembles satellitia and licaon (98 C b), but it is of a darker colouring and marking; 
sis. forewing without any white or pink colour along the veins 2 and 3; ground-colour light yellowish with dark 
brown markings; the dark rhombic area in the centre of the inner margin is narrow and almost rectangular, 
the whole impression of the wing more variegated. Hindwing without any pink at the anal angle. Under 
surface: the two postdiscal lines are strong, the exterior one is dentate between the veins, 3 dark lines between 
them in both wings (being absent in licaon). Length of forewing: 58 mm. From Macas, Ecuador. 
drucei. Ph. drucei R. & J . (98 F g). This very rare species resembles the form postieatus of the preceding species 
(98 C b), but it is of a deeper olive colour; the light dorsal line on the abdomen is narrower, the lateral spot 
on the second segment and the subdorsal spot on the third are larger and of a deeper colour. The trapezoid spot 
at the inner margin of the forewing is triangular, the tip resting on the inner margin, the postdiscal lines are 
stronger and more oblique; the triangular costal-marginal shadow is indistinct and not continued to the distal 
margin, but a rusty yellowish shadow extends along vein 2, and the dark anal spot is prolonged to this 
shadow. Hindwing with a broad pink inner-marginal spot; 3 distinct black lines follow behind the large black 
inner-marginal spot. Hindwing beneath pink at the inner margin and in the disc, contrary to satellitia. Length 
of forewing: 40 mm. Ecuador. 
ncuburgeri. Ph. neuburgeri R. & J. This species described from 1 is much darker than all the others. Forewing 
with an almost falcate apex; the large inner-marginal spot is likewise triangular, and another large black spot 
before it at the base of the inner margin, two distinct transverse lines between these spots; discal spot absent, 
the small subapical costal-marginal spot is triangular; a distinct yellowish-white line extends from the lower 
cell-angle along vein 2 to the margin, vein 3 is also broadly yellowish-white. Hindwing light greenish-grey, the 
discal spot is a tiny dot, a small light spot at the anal angle, without pink, 2 narrower lines before the broad 
black submarginal lines. Under surface bright brick-coloured red. Length of fore wing: 48 mm. Argentina, 
probably Tucuman. 
clisa. Ph- elisa Smyth, from Mexico, resembles small specimens of licaon. Forewing greyer above, without a 
stigma, the apex more produced; a black subbasal spot at the inner margin as in neuburgeri, the trapezoid spot 
behind it is basally prolonged on the submedian fold, lighter in the centre; inner margin not pink. Hindwing 
as in satellitia, the dark marginal band is narrow, but united with the dark inner-marginal spot. Guadalajara 
(Mexico). It is also allied with the following cissi.
