Professor Westwood based this name upon Mexican specimens, in which country 
this species has a wide range, and whence we trace it throughout Central America to 
our southern limits. In the State of Panama we meet with examples in which the 
markings of the under side are less varied ; the apex of the primaries and the discal area 
of the secondaries are uniformly mottled with ochre and chestnut, the latter being desti- 
tute of black spots. Upon one such specimen Mr. Druce based the name A. medusa, but 
we find examples of the Mexican type also in Panama, with intermediate examples 
connecting the two forms; we therefore place them all under the name A. carausius. 
Found in open places about flowering bushes (Champion).

Alis nigricantibus anticarum dimidio interno et posticis fere omnino ceruleis certa luce rosaceo nitentibus ; 
maculis duabus hyalinis, una ad cellule finem, altera infra eam inter ramos medianos ; subtus sordidis 
fusco-nebulosis, maculis hyalinis ut supra, vitta obliqua posticarum basi transeunte ad medium anticarum 
cellule acute terminata; posticis maculis variis discalibus sordide metallicis, linea communj submarginali 
flavida intus metallica ; fronte, palpis, cruribus et margine posticarum hirsuto, rosaceis.

There can be but little doubt that this species is that described by Stoll under the 
specific name of renaldus. Although the figure he gives of it is not very accurate, still 
we recognize it by the colour of the upper side and the rosy tint of the legs, the latter 
a most trustworthy character. It is somewhat strange that Nicaragua alone in Cen- 
tral America has produced us specimens of this species, but we have it from just 
over our border in Western Colombia.
