Hab. Costa Rica (Van Patien*); Panama, Bugaba (Champion), Veraguas (Arcé).— 
Peru; Amazons ?4; Rio Nzero !. 
This Anwa was discovered by Mr. Bates in the valley of the Upper Amazons during 
his celebrated expedition, but it was described by Dr. Felder under the name suggested 
for it by Mr. Bates}. 
It has now been traced to Costa Rica in the north and Peru in the south. Specimens 
from these various points, though varying to some extent, do not seem to be specifically 
separable. All have the peculiar brassy sheen which distinguished the species; but 
some specimens from Bugaba have rather less than usual, the blue of the base being 
more circumscribed. A Costa-Rica specimen, however, agrees accurately with typical 
examples from San Paulo, Amazons.

Hab. GuatEMAta, Polochic valley (Hague1), Purula,Senahu, and Cubilguitz ( Champion). 
For this fine species we are indebted to Mr. Hague, who obtained our first specimens in 
the valley of the Polochic in Guatemala. Since then Mr. Champion has secured a 
good series, chiefly at Purula, at an elevation of about 4000 feet above the sea. Here 
they frequented the margins of the forest. 
The only species we know of at all nearly allied to 4. proserpina is A. laura of 
Costa Rica and Panama. This is easily distinguished by the coloration of the male, 
as pointed out below. The females of the two species seem to be quite alike.
