the type of Mr. Druce’s description of this species, which is a southern race of the 
Guatemalan A. proserpina. A female from Costa Rica attributed with doubt to A. 
proserpina by Messrs. Butler and Druce? we have little hesitation in placing here. In 
so doing we are influenced by the general similarity of the Costa Rica and Panama 
faunas, rendering it much more probable that this female belongs to the Panama 
than to the Guatemalan race.

Alis cyanescenti-nigris, basi viridescentibus, anticis macula obliqua subquadrata conspicua pone apicem nitide 
viridis, margine externo eodem colore suffuso ; posticis quoque maculis submarginalibus et margine externo 
ipso ejusdem coloris; subtus lete sericeo-castaneis, linea communi ab angulo anticarum apicali ad 
marginis interni posticarum medium, in posticis valde angulata fusco-ferruginea, anticis ad apicem et 
marginem externum albo marmoratis ; anticis acutis haud hamatis ; posticis ecaudatis rotundatis. 
@ mari similis et macula anticarum apicali eodem modo collocata, subtus quoque castaneis sed pallidioribus ; 
posticis cauda spatulata ornatis.

This beautiful species was described by Mr. Druce from a specimen in our collection 
sent us by Arcé from the Volcano of Chiriqui!, where other collectors have since 
found it, and where, and at Bugaba, Mr. Champion obtained us a good series of specimens, 
including the female. 
As Mr. Druce remarks 1, A. ambrosia is a very distinct species, having no near allies 
that we know of. It seems to find its place in the genus next to A. proserpina and 
A, laura.

We have little doubt that the insects hitherto known as 4. anassa and A. cleomestra 
‘are the males and females of one species; they have the same geographical range. 
Up to the present time 4. anassa has only been known from male specimens, and on
