portion being continuous witii a variable cell-patch, which is rarely absent, a 

 postdiscal row of glaucous bnif spots, and a row of snbmarginal spots of which 

 the posterior one, two, or three are orange, cell-patch sometimes washed with 



orange. Hind wing with a broad creamy or creamy yellow median band, tapering 



behind, always entering cell ; a postdiscal row of bine spots ; and a snbmarginal 

 row of creamy ones, sometimes shaded with black ; last spot orange as a rule, 

 usually merged together with the marginal one. 



Underside : apical area of forewing and the hindwing cinnamon-brown. 



Forewing : discal band and cell-patch broader than above, npper snbmarginal spots 



absent or vestigial. Discal band of hindwing milky white or creamy, wider 



posteriorly than above, externally bordered by black bars or crescents, except 

 towards costa ; snbmarginal spots vestigial. 



?. Trichromatic ; one form like male, bnt wings broader, band of hindwing 

 wider. The other forms with large cell-patch and complete discal band on fore- 

 wing which are tawny-orange or white ; hindwing without discal band on upperaide, 

 the band vestigial on underside. 



Genitalia : c?. Tenth tergite long, curved, transversely dilated beneath at the 

 base, apex sharply pointed ; sternite divided at each side by a transverse groove 

 into two i)rocesses, the first being strongly chitinised and pointed, and the second 

 being paler and obtuse. Harpe vestigial, being represented by a flat piece of 

 chitin of about half the length of the clasper, not separated from the latter, tip 



acuminate. ?. Edge of vaginal orifice and the area around strongly chitinised, 



the cavity in which the orifice proper is situated ajipearing heart-shaped, the edges 

 of the cavity meeting behind the orifice, forming here a brown tubercle; within this 

 cavity several transverse folds, and in front of the cavity also some transverse folds ; 

 no processes.

(?. There is considerable variability in the size of the markings. Forewing : 



the cell-patch, which is occasionally washed with orange, is sometimes a broad baud 

 reaching across the cell, while it is reduced in other specimens to a small sjwt, 



being altogether absent in one of our specimens from Bogota. In this Bogota 



individual the band of the hindwing is more distal in position than usually, jnst 

 entering apex of cell. 



? . Trichromatic.
