Although Drury states! that he received the specimen from which his description and 
figure of C. laure were taken “from a part of Africa situated about six degrees of 
north latitude,” there can be no doubt that he really refers to this insect, whose range 
we have given above. 
Doubleday’s figure of C. Jawre, as pointed out by Boisduval, undoubtedly refers to 
another insect. It exhibits none of the beautiful blue colour shown on the upper- 
side of that species, and Brazil and the West Indies are given as the locality where it 
is found, while the true C. /aure does not, so far as we can trace it, extend south of 
Venezuela. 
C’. laure is included by Messrs. Butler and Druce in their catalogue of the Butterflies 
of Costa Rica‘, under the name of Apatura druryi of Hibner, a closely allied but 
distinct insect, inhabiting the island of Cuba. 
The outer margins of C. druryi are much paler in both sexes, but especially in the 
female, and the double-spotted submarginal line is more strongly marked. Besides 
this there is a third closely allied species inhabiting Peru and the Upper Amazons, 
C. griseldis. In this insect all the colours, including the purple gloss on the upperside, 
are of a darker hue, and the tawny spot at the apex of the primaries of the male is 
absent.

A single specimen procured by Van Patten in Costa Rica was named Apatura 
plesaurina by Messrs. Butler and Druce. They compared it with Chlorippe laure and 
pointed out its chief differences from that species; to this, however, it is not very 
closely allied, having no blue on the upper surface of the wings. The above-named 
example is now before us, and after comparing it carefully with our series of C. linda,
