The female of Boisduval’s Chlorippe mentas belongs here, as proved by an inspection 
of the types.

This Chlorippe is very closely allied to C. seraphina (Hubner) and it is questionable 
whether it is really distinct. It is, however, a larger insect, and the blue band of the 
wings is wider. ‘The true C. seraphina does not enter our fauna, though it is found in 
Colombia in company with the allied form. In Brazil C. seraphina alone is found. 
Regarding the females of this species and of C. cyane, we are in considerable doubt 
whether we have rightly assigned our specimens to their respective males, and further 
we are also in doubt if the females of these species can always be distinguished from 
one another. Of what we consider to be females of C. cherubina we have only two 
specimens, which differ from a considerable series of females associated with C. cyane 
in having the band of the primaries broken up into spots instead of being entire to 
nearly the costal margin. 
C. cherubina was separated by Dr. Felder upon specimens from various parts of 
South America, with which he included Guatemalan examples obtained by ourselves.

Some American entomologists hesitate to separate this group of Butterflies from the 
genus Apatura, but Mr. Scudder seems rightly to urge its definite independent 
position. Not only does the subcostal nervure of the primaries emit but a single

The male of this insect hardly differs from that sex of A. cyane, but the specific characters are in the female, 
which are indicated above. We have several males and two females, all taken by Mr. E. W. White in the 
Sierra de Tortoral, in Catamarca, in the Argentine Republic.
