Hewitson’s types of this species came from Ecuador, whence we have several spe- 
cimens. Our only record of it in Central America is derived from a single example 
taken by ourselves in the interior of Guatemala. It can at once be distinguished from 
C. denina by the absence of a tawny band intervening between the ring which encloses 
the spots and the blue submarginal band. Like C. denina it has a reddish costal spot 
on the secondaries, a character which is absent in C. pacifica.

This species occurs with hardly a break from Ecuador to Guatemala; but we have 
not yet seen specimens from Costa Rica. The Guatemalan insect was described by Mr. 
Bates under the name of C. guatemalena, and was compared by him with C. tolima, from 
which it is no doubt perfectly distinct. Weare unable to trace any tangible difference 
between Guatemalan and Colombian examples which should bear Hewitson’s name 
C. denina; all therefore should pass under this name, being the oldest. The only 
difference worthy of note is that the spots of the secondaries beneath are not divided 
by ‘the yellow band in C. guatemalena. ‘This character, however, fails in certain 
instances. 
In Guatemala this species is found only on the eastern side of the country up to an 
elevation of about 4000 feet; in Nicaragua and Panama it is found at a much lower 
level. It is a curious fact that all our Panama specimens, five in number, are females ; 
elsewhere the males are much more numerous than the other sex.
