outer portion rather thickly irrorated with very fine reddish-brown streaks; the fringe green ; the under- 
side greenish-white, the primaries broadly bordered with black on the inner margin and partly along the 
outer margin, the secondaries crossed by two black bands—the first near the base, the second about the 
middle,—the bands varying greatly in width: head, thorax, and abdomen green above, whitish beneath, 
the antenne brown. Expanse 13 inch. 
Hab. Mexico, Coatepec (coll. Schaus); Panama, Chiriqui (mus. Staudinger), Volcan 
de Chiriqui 2000 to 8000 feet (Champion). 
The specimen from the Volcan de Chiriqui, from which our description and figure 
are taken, has the primaries more heavily marked with reddish-brown than in either 
of the other examples; it also has the black bands on the underside much wider than 
in the Mexican representative.
