ENANTIA. 183 



The figure on the Plate referred to the female of this species really represents that 

 sex of E. albania.

 LXI. fig. 7 $ .)

Sab. Mexico, Cuesta de Misantla (M. Trujillo), Atoyac (H. H. Smith), Orizaba 

 (F. D. G.), near Vera Cruz 2 , Cordova (Rumeli) ; Guatemala, Motagua 1 and Polochic 

 valleys (F. D. G. & 0. S.) ; Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt) ; Costa Rica 3 ( Van Fatten), 

 Cache (Rogers) ; Panama, Chiriqui, Bugaba (Champion), Veraguas (Arce). 



This is a form of F. jethys with no black mark over the median area of the primaries, 

 that colour being restricted to the outer margin and two spots on the costa ; the 

 secondaries, too, have a very narrow black outer border. F. citrinella of Felder, as its 

 name implies, is of a lemon rather than an orange colour and the sexes are alike. 



There is a considerable diversity in the extent of the black markings in the apical 

 portion of the primaries and in the extent of the undulations of the inner margins of 

 the black outer border, but in no case is an orange spot isolated in the apex as in the 

 allied form. 



Regarding the females, we notice that some are of a much paler yellow than others ; 

 Mr. Bates's type is of the pale form. 



We have many specimens of both sexes from the neighbourhood of Cordova in 

 Mexico, the males agreeing with Reakirt's description of Leptalis mita ; we have also 

 many examples from Guatemala and other parts of Central America as far south as the 

 State of Panama. Mr. Champion captured it on the slope of the Volcan de Chiriqui 

 at an altitude of 4000 feet above the sea. 



The figure of the male is taken from a specimen captured by Mr. H. H. Smith at 

 Atoyac ; that of the female represents the type of E. albania from Central Guatemala.
