We have a long series of this species from our region, including both sexes. 

 Dr. Staudmger has sent us males of it from Mexico labelled Pamphila marmorosa 

 (H.-S.) ; but as the type of the latter is a Cuban insect, we hesitate to use this name, 

 which has a few years' priority over that of Edwards. Central-American examples 

 usually have the spots on the upperside of the secondaries more distinct than in those 

 from the United States; the individuals from Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Chiriqui are 

 also smaller than those from more northern localities. The females (which may be 

 known from the same sex of A. zabulon and its allies by the fulvous spots on the 

 upperside of the secondaries) differ from the males in having larger and paler spots 

 on the primaries, these being almost hyaline in some specimens, and there is often a 

 small additional spot between the two lower ones of the oblique series on these wings 

 in this sex ; they also have the underside of the secondaries more obscurely coloured, 

 the irregular angulated yellow fascia being much less distinct. We have dissected 

 males from California, Puebla, and Costa Rica, and find no difference in the structure 

 of the genitalia, for which see Tab. XCIV. fig. 32. The male and female insects 

 figured are both from Puebla.

Hab. Mexico, Las Vigas (coll. Schaus). 



Mr. Schaus's collection contains a single male example of this insect from Las Vigas, 

 which we have ventured to describe. 



A. gala closely resembles A. melane on the upper surface, but has two additional 

 minute spots in the cell of the primaries, and the band on the secondaries is more 

 extended and bent inwards towards the inner margin. The underside also of the 

 secondaries is differently coloured.
