This is a common species throughout our region from Southern Mexico to Panama 
whence it passes into Northern Colombia, where Mr. Simons obtained it near Santa 
Marta, It was first described by Rudolph Felder from specimens, now in the Vienna 
Museum, obtained by Hedemann at Potrero, near Cordova, in Mexico. We have several 
examples from this locality, one of which we have compared with the type. 
Though nearly allied to A. onophis and A. arginussa it is apparently quite distinet 
from both these butterflies as stated above. If we have described the right female of 
A, onophis, the differences in this sex are very much more apparent than in the males. 
The fulvous spot on the costa of the secondaries and the simple curve of the outer 
edge of the transverse band of the primaries beneath connect this species with 
A. herbacea.

Hewitson described this species from a Colombian specimen in his collection, but we 
have not received any examples thence ourselves. It is, however, not a very uncommon 
species in Nicaragua, and we have traced it northwards as far as Vera Paz in Guatemala. 
Southwards it occurs sparingly in the State of Panama, but we have not yet seen any 
specimens from Costa Rica, where doubtless it is also found. 
The alliances of A. artacena are with A. onophis and A. pithyusa, but it is remarkably 
distinct, owing to the conspicuous greenish-white band on the primaries. 
Mr. Champion’s specimens were found on leaves in the dense forest.
