Fabricius originally described this species from Drury’s collection, referring at the 
same time to a figure in Jones’s drawings, but gave no locality for it. Dr. Felder 
redescribed it under the name of A. lindigii from a female example he received from 
Bogota? ; and Mr. Bates also gave it the name of A. casta, from a specimen procured 
by us in Guatemala *. 
Mr. Butler, on examining Jones’s drawings, recognized the identity of both Dr. 
Felder’s and Mr. Bates’s insects with the Fabrician one, and accordingly united them 
all under the name Antirrhea miltiades in his Catalogue of the Butterflies described 
by Fabricius ; and we have every reason to believe he was right in so doing”. 
The range of A. miltiades extends from Guatemala to Bogota—but not interruptedly ; 
for Messrs. Butler and Druce do not include it in their list of the Butterflies of Costa 
Rica, nor have we ever seen specimens from that country. On the line of railway and 
the adjoining parts of the State of Panama it appears again. This gap in its range is 
filled by its near ally A. fomasia, and by the very distinct A. pterocopha described 
below. We saw but little of this species in Guatemala, where it is rare. The speci- 
mens we took were in virgin forest, flying close to the ground, over dead leaves, ¢ at an 
elevation of about 1200 feet above the sea. 
Our figure is taken from a Guatemala specimen, the type of Antirrhea casta, Bates.
