transverse, rounded distall)-, straiglit ]iro.\imiilly ; ii very conspiciioiis line fmin 

 tip of wing to middle of inner margin, continued along the latter to base, apically 

 more curved than in amadix, crossing W at one-third the distance from cell to 

 outer margin, greenish black, edged with grey proximally ; traces of two lines 

 proximally of it, these additional lines accentuated at costal edge by a spot each ; 



a submargiual row of black vein-dols ; fringe black at veins. Hindwing black, 



a greenish buff band from anal angle to costal margin, which it does not reach, 

 slightly incised at the veins ; distal margin narrowly green ; fringe sj>otted black 

 at posterior veins. 



Underside ochraceons salmon-buff, irrorated with brown ; markings as in 

 amadis, distal marginal band rather wider ; lilack fringe-spots conspicuous on 

 both wings. 



Tenth tergite feebly spatulate, truncate ; steniite triangular, with the apex 

 rounded. Seven large friction-scales on clasper. Harpe slender, tapering, curved 

 upwards at apex faintly denticulate at tip. Penis-sheath with a broad streak 

 of numerous minute teeth on left side, the convex area on which this streak is 

 situated rounded at apex and at right side produced into an obtuse process, which 

 is as broad as long, being covered all over with teeth and being directed proximad. 



Length of forewing : 4U mm.

Having now seen several specimens from Santa Lucia, we find that this island 

 is inhabited by a special subspecies, which, though similar to the one found in 

 Jamaica, differs in several points. 



?. Upperside of body and forewing green, as in ordinary Continental individuals 

 of A', chiron chiron ; a brown or black mesial patch anteriorly on mesonotum. 

 External spur of midtibia a little shorter than internal. 



Wings, njjperside. -Forewing broader than in the Jamaica and Continental 



forms; a green vestigial line from apex, proximally of this line a row of transverse 

 black-brown dots on the veins from SC'' to M-, followed at inner margin by a 

 triangular black-brown patch as in the other forms, these vein-dots partly connected 

 with one another by vestiges of a brown line ; no trace of a clayish patch either 



at costal margin or on disc. Hindwing with three spots on disc, a fourth, 



anterior spot being faintly indicated ; the anal and subanal spots as in the 

 other forms. 



Underside similar to that of the Continental subspecies. One heavy line on 

 disc of forewing, the proximal line of the other two subspecies not being marked; 

 brown proximal edge of marginal band heavy, the costal intersjiace between this 



band and the discal line wider than in tlie other forms. Hindwing : a brown line 



on disc accentuated by vein-dots, a vestige of a second line close to cell ; marginal 

 band as broad as in the Continental subspecies.
