 Valley (F. D. G. & 0. S.); Nicaragua, Matagalpa (W. B. Richardson); Costa Rica, 

 Cache (Sogers), Santa Clara Valley (Zurcher) ; Panama, Chiriqui (Mibbe l ), Veraguas

Dr. Staudinger described this species from specimens sent him by Herr Ribbe, and 

 afterwards figured it in his work on Exotic Butterflies 2 . Several years previously we 

 captured some examples in Guatemala, and more recently we have received others 

 from as far north as Teapa in the Mexican province of Tabasco, and also from places in 

 Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, and from the mainland of South America, where it 

 occurs in the Amazons Valley. The latter differ slightly from the typical form in 

 having the fulvous area of the secondaries beneath of a rather duller darker colour. 



The male genitalia have the tegumen ending in a blunt depressed central hook, on 

 either side of which is a point directed forwards ; at the base of these projections in 

 the middle line is a rounded lobe ; the scaphium is well developed and granular on the 

 under surface on either side towards the end ; the harpes are symmetrical and end in 

 a well-defined lobe, which is serrate along its dorsal edge as far as a distinct tooth 

 situated about the middle, and beyond which on the proximal side the dorsal edo-e is 

 smooth. (See Tab. LXXXVIII. fig. 4.)
