ANZA. 339 
Though obviously allied to A. ryphea this species may readily be distinguished by its 
smaller size and by the beautiful purple sheen which pervades the whole of the upper 
surface of the wings. In this respect it is like A. halice of Brazil, from which the 
coloration of the female easily renders it separable. The female differs from those of 
all the allied species in having a large ochraceous patch on the primaries and a spot of 
the same colour on the apical angle. 
A. chrysophana is apparently a rare species, and no specimens have been sent us from 
the district of Chiriqui. Our Peruvian example was taken by Mr. E. Bartlett at 
Yurimaguas, near the foot of the Andes on the eastern side.

This seems to be the species figured by Cramer from a Surinam specimen'. It is 
rather a redder insect than A. phidile, and appendages to the secondaries are always 
present. | 
A. ryphea has a very wide range, being found throughout our region from Southern 
Mexico to Panama, and thence spreads over a large portion of Tropical South America. 
We can trace no difference between Mexican and Bolivian specimens.

The most obvious distinction between this species and A. ryphea is the absence in 
the males of the caudal appendages, which, however, in some specimens are just 
indicated by a notch. Im addition to this the secondaries are more darkly coloured, 
and the median line beneath is waved instead of straight.
