season, from May to October. Its range in altitude, both in Mexico and Guatemala, 

 is considerable, and extends from the sea-level to 4000 or 5000 feet. 



We have described a pair taken together by Mr. Smith at Tepetlapa in October 1888.

Panama specimens agree accurately with others from Santa Marta which have been 

 compared with the type of T. athalia ; with these we believe specimens from Eastern 

 Ecuador, Peru, and the Amazons valley, as well as others from South-eastern Brazil 

 and Paraguay, will have to be associated. 



The insect from the Amazons valley has been called T.fiavilla by Mr. Bates, and 

 more recently T. hahneli by Dr. Staudinger ; examples from this region have a slightly 

 wider dark apex, and the females appear to be destitute of the red apical spots beneath. 

 Were we confident that all certainly belonged to the same species we would use 

 Mr. Bates's name T.fiavilla for it as being the oldest, but our materials are hardly 

 sufficiently complete to enable us to form a definite opinion ; therefore, as we have no 

 doubt about T. athalia, we employ that name for our Panama specimens. 



As a rule the underside of the male is immaculate, but in some Colombian specimens 

 faint discal spots appear ; these are mentioned in Felder's description, and are shown 

 in Dr. Staudinger's figure of T. hahneli. T. athalia has as yet only been met with in 

 our country in the State of Panama. 



Our figure of the male was taken from a specimen captured by Mr. Champion at 

 David, that of the female from one from the Volcan de Chiriqui.

This appears to be the species attributed to T. deva by Mr. Bates; and probably 

 T. agave of Fabricius, but not of Donovan (whose figure represents what is now known
