Mr. Bates described this species for us from specimens obtained in the forest-region 
of Northern Vera Paz, where we found it by no means uncommon in the months of 
February and March 1862, at an elevation of about 1500 feet above the sea. Since 
then Mr. Champion has met with it in the same districts, and also on the slopes of the 
Volcan de Fuego, about 2000 feet above the Pacific Ocean. It is also fairly abundant 
in Nicaragua and Costa Rica, the latter country being the limit of its southern as 
Guatemala is of its northern range. 
Specimens on the whole are fairly constant in their markings; but there is slight 
variation in the size of the characteristic scarlet spot of the primaries, which in some 
cases, especially in southern ones, trespasses beyond the limits of the cell. 
We have figured a male, one of the types, from the Polochic valley, in Guatemala.

There appear to be two races of this form, one found in Ecuador and Colombia, 
which spreads northwards as far as Costa Rica, to which Latreille’s name bonplandt is 
applicable. ‘The other is peculiar to Venezuela and North-eastern Colombia ; and for 
this Fabricius’s name may be used. The chief difference between these two races 
consists in the greater extent and in the orange tint of the yellow spots of the more 
western insect. As they seem to have definite limits, these two races may be kept 
separate. )
