340 RHOPALOCERA. 
In some specimens there is a cluster of large white spots across the secondaries 
beneath, in others there are a number of large blackish spots at the base of the 
same wings. 
With a very similar range in the continent of South America to A. ryphea, this 
species does not extend beyond the State of Panama; for though Mr. Druce records it 
from Costa Rica®, we have no specimen from there. 
The origin of Geyer’s type was not known.

Hab. Guaremaa, San Gerénimo (Ff. D. G. & O. 8.1, Champion). 
This fine species is, so far as we know, restricted to the hills surrounding the east 
side of the plain of Salama, where the village of San Gerénimo is situated. It was here 
that we discovered it in 1862, and where Mr. Hague subsequently obtained specimens 
for us. Mr. Champion, too, met with it in the same district during his recent sojourn 
in Guatemala. 
It frequents the mountain-streams, flying rapidly close to the water. Some specimens 
were caught on dung, others on wet sand. 
A. nobilis has no near allies that we know of; but it is perhaps best associated with 
the red species, which it resembles on the underside. 
b'. Wings bluish black or purple, more or less blue or green at the base. 
a. Secondaries tailed in both sexes. 
a", Inner margin of primaries deeply falcate at the distal end.
