232 RHOPALOCERA. 
Femina mari similis, sed colore grisescenti-ceruleo pallidiore et violaceo tincto et posticis fascia transversa 
mediana longitudinaliter omnino divisa; subtus alis dilutioribus, posticis plaga discali magna fusco-nigra.

Dr. Morritz discovered this species in Venezuela; and his specimens, both females, 
formerly in Dr. Kaden’s collection, now in our own, were described by Dr. Felder and 
subsequently figured in the ‘ Voyage of the Novara.’ We have since traced the species 
through the State of Panama and as far north as Nicaragua; but none have as yet come 
before us from Costa Rica. WV. leucocyanea belongs to the M. ethusa section rather 
than to that containing W. cyaniris, as there is a long discocellular blue streak on the 
primaries of the male and four instead of five blue cross bands on the secondaries, the 
third and fourth being fused, the submarginal band thus becoming the fourth instead 
of the fifth. The female closely resembles that sex in U/. cyaniris; but, besides being 
smaller, it always has two white spots at the end of the cell of the primaries, which are 
not shown in the other species.

An excellent figure of this species was given by Boisduval in Cuvier’s ‘ Régne 
Animal’!; and it was again figured by Felder in the ‘ Voyage of the Novara’. The 
identity of the insect represented by these two figures was subsequently shown by 
Rudolph Felder in a note to the short paper describing the new species in Lieut. 
Hedemann’s collection. M. ethusa is a scarce species in Southern Mexico; and we 
have no record of its occurrence elsewhere. 
Boisduval (Lép. Guat. p. 40) mentions two species from Honduras under the names 
Cybdelis ethusa and C. cyanecula. If the locality is correct, the specimens should 
probably both be called MW. pattenia.
