and specimens lent us by Dr. Staudinger from Salvador. The latter he described 

 subsequently as T. salvadoris, one of them having been figured by us (t. 2. fig. 9). 

 We have now a good series of examples, and it is evident that there are two species — 

 one an eastern form ranging from Southern Mexico to Eastern Guatemala, the other 

 a western one found throughout the region bordering the Pacific Ocean from the 

 confines of Mexico to Salvador. We restrict the name T. hippothous to the eastern 

 form. The male differs from that of T. salvadoris in the absence of yellow near the 

 apical angle of the secondaries ; moreover, the median band on the same wings is, as a 

 rule, reduced to two or three isolated spots, whereas in T. salvadoris it usually forms, 

 but not always, a more or less continuous streak.
