Io cecrops, Boisd. Ann. Soc. Ent. Belge, xviii. p. 2247 (¢ ¢). 
Hab. Muxico ! (mus. Staudinger), 
I am indebted to Mons. C. Oberthiir for the loan of Boisduval’s type to figure. A. 
single male example from Mexico, in Dr. Staudinger’s collection, agrees fairly well 
with the type, only differing in being paler and yellower in colour. 
8. Automeris montezuma.
