S ? . Markings (band or large patch) on disc of hindwing greenish or bluish 

 grey. 



Very variable, but not separable into more or less sharjjly defined forms. If 

 specimens agreeing with the types of ulopos, therodamas, metapkaon, phaon, and 

 pharax were treated under separate names as f. ulopos, f. therodamas, etc., a host 

 of other names would have to be proposed for the numerous individual varieties 

 which are not covered by those names. However, we do not think it necessary to 

 deal with the present assemblage of individuals under more than one name. 



The forewing bears usually a row of creamy or straw-coloured submarginal 

 spots, the last ones being the largest ; sometimes there are, proximally of this row, 

 some large discal patches, while in other individuals the forewing is practically 

 devoid of markings. The hindwing has occasionally some small red dots distally of 

 the discal band in specimens from Mexico and Honduras, such individuals occurring 

 presumably in all the countries from Nicaragua to Blexico ; the discal band has 

 either develoj)ed to a large central patch which enters the cell to a more or less 

 great extent, or it is more baud-like, standing distally of the cell. The name 

 pharax is based on an individual from British Honduras in which the hindwing has 

 the band sitnated outside the cell and bears a red anal spot; ulopos { = immargi natus) 

 was proposed for specimens which have only small or vestigial spots on the forewing, 

 the band of the hindwing entering the cell ; Felder's individuals which he called 

 therodamas have the spots on the forewing well marked, and the band of the 

 hindwing placed distally of cell ; in the type of phaon there are submarginal spots 

 on the forewing, but no discal patches, and the band of the hindwing just enters the 

 cell ; in the tyjie of mctapihaon the central area of the hindwing is large, occupying 

 a good part of the cell. 



In a male in coll. Hewitson the spots on the breast and abdomen are butfish 

 pink, not carmine red.

tf. Spots of breast and abdomen red ; posterior segments of abdomen with red 



side-patches. Forewing, above, with buflfish grey area on disc behind cell, 



variable in extent and position, either reaching to hinder margin or being separate 



from it; sometimes a patch in cell ; occasionally a row of submarginal spots. 



Hindwing : a discal band of red spots, more or less continuous, either restricted to 

 centre of wing or continued to abdominal margin, entering cell or separate from it, 

 the band often reduced to two spots, occasionally pinkish grey ; a row of admarginal 

 spots, upper one large, the others usually minute or vestigial, all grey or the
