We have received specimens from many other additional localities, but it is 

 unnecessary to mention them, as the species is almost universally distributed in 

 Central America. Dr. Staudinger (Iris, 1896, pp. 295-299) has published some 

 critical remarks on the synonymy of this species, with especial reference to the 

 Central-American forms. The varieties described by Herr Riffarth 1011 are from 

 Chiriqui or Costa Rica : chiriquensis has a very broad yellow band on the secondaries, 

 and tristis has the corresponding band entirely wanting on the upperside and faintly 

 indicated beneath ; this latter form we have not seen, 



Heliconius galanthus (I. p. 155). 



Heliconius cydno, ab. stubeli, Riff. Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1900, p. 199 4 . 



Of this species we have a single male from Irazu, Costa Rica, in which the white 

 band on the primaries is narrower and straighter, not entering the cell, so that the 

 usual triangular discocellular black spot is absent. This agrees very closely with 

 Riffarth's description of H. cydno, ab. stubeli, from Costa Rica 4 , except that there are 

 no pale submarginal or marginal spots visible on the primaries.

Hob. ? Costa Rica (Van Fatten*).— Colombia; Ecuadok; Peru. 



The Costa Rican locality for this species seems to reuqire confirmation. Van 

 Patten's specimen is now in our collection.
