elongate-triaugular spot before cell. Hiiulwiiig nsnally with five spots, sometimes 



with six or seven, distant from cell. 



? . Upperside. — Forewing : cell-sjwt close to cross-veins, an elongate-triangular 

 spot in front of cell and several small ones on distal side of cross-veins ; discal 



spots R- — B? larger than spot R' — M', the latter rarely touching M^ Hindwing: 



band narrow, evenly curved, situated about halfway between cell and distal margiu. 



Underside like ujiper, band of hindwiug paler.

(S. Upper.side. — Forewing: olive-green patch very variable, either large, 

 extending from inner margin to R^ or reduced in length and width, or altogether 

 absent, our series showing all intergradations between the extremes ; black 

 specimens being known from Costa Rica and Chiriqui, in which localities occur 

 also sijecimeus with large olive-green patch ; all individuals with at least one 

 small creamy spot, most specimens with a large spot, the spot standing either 

 before or behind R^, there being often a spot at both sides of the vein ; sometimes 



an olive-green streak in cell, but no creamy spot. Hindwing : three spots, 



often preceded by one or two dots, there being occasionally also a minute dot 

 behind M^. 



Underside. — Forewing : always one or two white or huffish white spots on disc, 

 and the majority of specimens with a sharply defined elongate-triangular spot in 

 front of cell. 



? . Upperside.—YoxQvrwg : spot R^ — M' minute or absent ; in our only Costa 

 Rica specimen which we place here, spot R^ — R' small, oblique, a very little larger 

 than in the figure of d in Biol. Centr. Amer., I.e., the cell-spot of this specimen also 



reduced, narrower, transverse, not reaching across cell, no other spots. Hindwing : 



in the Costa Rica specimen the band evenly curved, separate from cell, half as 

 wide again as black distal border ; iu the specimens from the more southern 

 localities the band entering cell, twice as broad as the distal marginal border, 

 almost uniformly orange-red.

The males with large olive-green patch on forewing are distinguished from 

 P. li/cimenes lijcimencs by the absence of a red streak behind M^ on the upperside 

 of the hindwing. 



In the type of sadyattes the white dot on the upperside of the forewing stands 

 behind R'. 



The males without olive-green patcli and the above-mentioned female with 

 reduced spots on forewing lead over to the uc.\t species, which has in both se.xes an 

 entirely black forewing, very few specimens bearing a creamy white dot R' — R^ .
