VENEZUELA! ; TRINIDAD. 
We can detect no difference between Nicaraguan and Venezuelan specimens of this 
race, though a considerable gap in its range occurs in the State of Panama, where its 
place is taken by its near ally C. leucania. Judging from the number of specimens 
that have reached us, it would appear to be as common an insect in Nicaragua and 
Costa Rica as in Venezuela. The differences which separate it from C. dionwa are 
mentioned in the account of the latter species.

This is a close ally of C. fenestella and C. dionea, being nearer the former. The 
chief apparent difference consists, in the majority of specimens, of the spots of the 
distal half of the primaries being white instead of yellow. Some examples, how- 
ever, have these spots yellow just as in C. fenestella; others have only a yellow tinge; 
so that a complete gradation can be shown, in which these spots pass from one colour 
to the other. The character therefore fails to be a diagnostic one. In C. leucania the 
black colour of the apical portion of the primaries is more extensive than in C. fenes- 
tella, the discal spot and the one under it being usually united to the black portion of 
the wing. This greater extension of the black in C. lewcania renders it not difficult to 
discriminate the race from C. fenestella, even when yellow spots are present instead of 
white ones. The race, though abundant in the State of Panama, does not pass out 
of it. 
Our figure represents a male from Lion Hill.
