Souta Brazit. 
With the exception of Mexico this species spreads throughout Central America and 
the whole of the South-American continent as far as South Brazil. In all this wide 
area we find great constancy in its general markings, though the width of both the 
fulvous and white bands varies to some extent. We found A. cythera most abundant 
in Guatemala in open places in the forests of Vera Paz, which lie to the north of Coban, 
at an elevation of about 1200 feet above the sea, whence it descends to the coast. 
The early synonymy of A. cytherea has recently been carefully worked out by Dr. 
Aurivillius, who considers Hiibner’s plate best represents the Linnean species °.

Chiriqui, Bugaba (Arcé, Champion).— Peru; Boutvia; AMAZONS VALLEY ?. 
A common species in the State of Panama, whence it ranges northward as far as 
Nicaragua; but we have not yet seen specimens from Costa Rica, though its name 
is included in Messrs. Butler and Druce’s list of Dr. Van Patten’s collection 3. It was 
described originally by Hewitson from Bolivian specimens!. Mr. Bates found it 
sparingly on the Upper Amazons? in sunny places in the forests. In general appear- 
ance this insect is not unlike A. phylaca, but the apical fulvous spot of the primaries is 
completely separated from the white band, and the markings of the underside, especially 
those of the outer margin of the secondaries, are more clearly defined.
