swollen towards the distal end. In C. cyane the terminal joint is longer and more 
conical. The palpi of C. vacuna are like those of C. cyane. 
In Chlorippe as in Apatura there are indications of two or three tarsal joints in the 
front legs of the male; these are shown by a slight constriction at each joint and an 
almost obliterated suture.

Dr. Felder pointed out that Bogota specimens of this insect differ from the true 
C. zunilda from South Brazil in several particulars, and we have a specimen from the 
former locality marked by him Apatura zunilda, var. occidentalis. The chief points of 
difference consist in the upperside of the wings being more deeply tinged with blue, the 
three spots between the median and costal nervures smaller, the three beyond these 
much further removed from the apex, and the outer stripe on the secondaries paler. 
We have five northern male specimens ranging from Chiriqui to Peru, all of which 
are pretty constant in their markings, and differ from the Brazilian C. zwni/da in the 
points above mentioned; hence we have thought it best that the northern insects 
should be separated, and pass under a separate name; and as Dr. Felder first mentioned 
the points of difference, we have called it after him. 
b. Second subcostal branch emitted before the end of the cell.
