This is one of the most widely distributed species of this group, occurring in abund- 

 ance from Mexico to Bolivia, and hardly showing any variation throughout its range. 



It is an inhabitant of the forest on the slopes of the mountain ranges, and occurs in 

 Guatemala at least as high as 7000 to 8000 feet above the sea, but Mr. Champion 

 took it at Teleman in the Valley of the Polochic at a very low elevation.

<$ alis anticis nigro-fuscis, maculis tribus in linea obliqua positis ad cellulae finem, una in costam, altera ultra

A. nemesis is the species to which this is allied ; the yellow markings are replaced 

 by grey ; this applies only to the male, as the female of A. cinerascens remains yet to 

 be discovered. A Costa-Rican example, sent us by the bird collector Carmiol, formed 

 the type from which our description was drawn ; no others have reached us from that 

 country, though in Chiriqui it is better known.
