The elongated and strongly-hooked primaries of 7. peleus render it easy to be at 
once distinguished from all other members of the genus. It is found commonly 
throughout Tropical America. Mr. Bates says’ that on the Amazons it frequents “the 
open sunny places, gardens, plantations, and banks of streams; settling on flowers and 
on the ground in moist situations.” 
In the males of this species there is but little variation, except in the distinctness of 
the black cross bands of the upper surface of the wings, which are very plain in 
some individuals and only just visible in others. On the under surface, too, some 
specimens are more mottled than others. The females seem always to have darker and 
broader bands on the upper surface of both wings. 
6. Primaries short, sometimes falcate ; anal lobe of secondaries moderately developed. 
a’. A tawny band on the primaries and a purple patch on the secondaries.

work, undoubtedly represents this species, as pointed out by Felder, since the tawny
