the slit between them, which wiileus distally, tliere projects a curved process 

 pointing anad ; these organs are distinct without dissection, projecting free, not 

 being covered by the scaling. On dissection tlie central process is (bund to be situated 

 immediately behind the vaginal orifice, being convex ventrally, and channelled 

 on the posterior or dorsal side ; the apex of this process is slightly incrassate, 

 giving the process a feebly ladle-shaped outline in lateral aspect. The lateral 

 flaps are continuous proximally of the vaginal orifice, being the lateral portions 

 of a ridge which is almost entirely sejiarated into two halves by a deep mesial 

 sinus. In a female which has copulated the central process is enveloped by a 

 hardened substance which forms a large irregular cone effectnally blocking up the 

 vaginal orifice, the lateral flaps remaining free, at least distally, the hardened 

 substance covering the flaps only proximally.

c? ? . Fringe of both wings entirely white. Band variable in width, straight 

 on hindwing, diodorus being based on narrow-banded individuals, and campeiro on 

 narrow- and broad-banded ones, the difference not being gcograpiiical. 



There are two Buisduvalian specimens in coll. Oberthiir which belong to this 

 form. In 1880 Oberthiir considered them to be typical sjiecimens of eclicdorus. 

 However, according to the description and the locality — Sta. C'atharina — Boisduval's 

 echedonis is the next form. Probably Boisduval replaced his original specimens 

 later by some better preserved ones wliicli happened to belong to another 

 geographical race.
