The shortest length of abdomen for the males given on page 325 is from an example from Lower California *, 
the longest hind wing for the females is furnished by the specimen from Duejas.

As implied on page 325, great individual variation in the colouring of the wings exists, Thus, among the 
material from Teapa, some females have the wings as in furcata, t. ¢., coloured at the base only; in 
others, and in some males, there is, in addition to the basal spot, a faint, ill-defined, yellow cloud on the 
hind pair from arculus to fourth or fifth antecubital ; still other males have also some faint yellow on 
the front pair between base and nodus; all these Teapa examples appear to be rather young, as the body- 
colours are pale. Darker-bodied individuals of both sexes from other localities (Mazatlan, Tlacotalpam, 
Georgetown, Galapagos) have the wing-tints darker but not so uniformly distributed as in Mr. Kirby’s 
figure’; these no doubt are older, although some other examples (Samana, Cuba), of apparently equal 
maturity, have the wings coloured hardly more than in furcata (2), or as in the most-deeply coloured 
males from Teapa(d). The Brazilian specimens agree in age and colouring with those from Teapa. 
The variation in the number of rows of cells between the subnodal sector and supplementary sector next 
below (see page 325) is independent of locality and may affect only one wing, one pair or three wings of 
an individual.
