This is one of the commonest species of the genus, being found from Southern Mexico 
to Ecuador. It is an inhabitant of the low-lying country of both coasts of Guatemala. 
It may be distinguished from all its allies by the blue sheen suffused over both wings 
of the male. 
6. Both sexes alike as to the number of bands on the secondaries.

This species was first described by Rudolph Felder from specimens obtained by 
Lieut. Hedemann at Huahuapan, in Mexico; but Mons. Sallé had previously met with 
it, and some fifty years ago Deppe obtained the examples which are now in the Berlin 
Museum. In its general appearance it is not unlike I. ethusa; but, besides having all 
the spots in the distal half of the anterior wing white, the blue bands of the posterior 
wings are distinct, as in M. cyaniris, the third and the penultimate band in M. ethusa 
coalescing towards the apical angle. J. cyaniris is probably its nearest ally ; but the 
blue gloss present in that species is wholly absent, and there are other differences. 
We have no authentic specimens from any country except Mexico; but there is 
one in the Hewitson collection in the British Museum which is marked as coming 
from Nicaragua, and its occurrence in Colombia is recorded by Felder, a male being in 
his collection from Santa Marta. 
c. Secondaries with three distinct median bands in the male, four in the female. 
3. Myscelia leucocyanea.
