d. Forewing rather narrower than in the other subspecies, white spots large. 



Hindwing : red spots around apex of cell not shaded with black proximally, 



except the first and last ; at least the two middle ones touching cell on underside, 

 the sj)ots being less reduced than in tlie other forms. Tiie type of eiiri/bafe.'i agrees 

 with Brazilian specimens, and bears the locality label Brazil, not Bolivia, as said 

 by Gray. 



? . Forewing slightly narrower than in the other races, usually with two 



large patches W — M- and a cell-streak, but the patches occasionally vestigial. 



Hindwing : red band usually wider than in the other forms, touching cell, there 

 being sometimes a minute spot in cell ; the spots of underside paler and usually 

 longer than in the other subspecies. 



Had. Sao Paulo ; Matto Grosso. 



One single s])ecimen (a female) from Sapncay, Paraguay, 60 miles east of 

 AssuDcion, has the narrow forewing of this form, but agrees in the red band of 

 the hindwing with the next.

Larger on an average than the preceding. 



c?. Forewing : green patch BI-— SM- longer than broad, often bearing a wliite 

 dot in the u]ii)er distal corner; white spot M' — M= smaller than in ei(ri/ljafi'g,\iXi.t 

 always very distinct, rounded, sjwt W — M' usually larger than sjjot M' — M-, but 



shaded with black ; most specimens with a vestige of a spot R- — R'. Hindwing : 



bases of red discal spots shaded with black like cell-patch, spot R' — M' often 

 excepted — in one of our numerous specimens hardly any black scales in the red 

 markings, the cell-patch being nearly as pure red as the discal spots ; the s))ots on 

 underside much shorter than in the preceding, standing separate from cell. 



? . Forewing : a large white patch M' — M^ preceded by another large patch, 

 which is usually somewhat shaded with brown distally ; a more or less distinct 

 cell-streak, which is in one of our Mapiri specimens enlarged to a triangular patch 

 which nearly reaches across the cell ; most specimens with a small dot behind M*, 

 there being also often a small spot marked before R^ Hindwing : band usually
