Hewitson described this species from Nicaraguan specimens; whence we also have 
examples, and have traced it northwards to Mexico and southwards to the State of 
Panama. 
The great dissimilarity between the sexes is one of its chief characteristics. ‘The 
male is not unlike that of N. orestes, while the female has a general resemblance to 
that of WV. calyce, as Hewitson has already suggested.

A single female specimen sent us from Panama formed the basis of Mr. Bates’s 
description of this species. We have since acquired three other examples from our 
region, including two from the Pearl Islands. These latter are smaller than the type, 
and the submarginal bands of the secondaries are broken up into definite spots; we 
have also twa from the west coast of Colombia sent us by Dr. Staudinger, in these the 
bands of the secondaries are entire. All these six specimens are females, and as yet 
the male remains unknown to us. This, from analogy, should resemble that sex of 
N. apame of the Amazons valley. We have further to note’ regarding the females of 
N. preclarum that there appear to be two styles of coloration ; the yellow of the type 
being as often as not replaced by white. 
We have one specimen of each variety from the mainland, from the Pearl Islands, 
and from Colombia. 
It frequents open second-growth woods of the low country (Champion).

omnino albidis, anticis ad angulum apicalem et marginem externum vix adumbratis, posticis maculis duabus 
ad angulum analem, duabus alteris angulum apicalem versus fuscis.
