obtained only large specimens dnring the dry season and at the beginning of the 

 wet season on the eastern side of the Andes of Bogota. We have also a large 

 S])ecimen from Mnzo, besides some small ones. The subniediau band of the 

 underside of the hindwing is occasionally vestigial beyond cell. In a specimen 

 from the Felder collection, bearing no locality label, bnt coming jirobably from 

 Bogota, there are two whitish halfmoons 11- — M' within the black distal band, the 

 black scaling situated jiroximally of those halfmoons being ill-dctiiiod.

<?. Scales of black marginal border and jiostdiscal band of forewing narrower 

 than in the other forms, these bands therefore less deep black ; postdiscal band 

 divided longitudinally by a usually distinct pale line ; transparent submarginal 

 band of forewing narrower than in the other subspecies, always narrower between 



SC* and SC^ than the black postdiscal band. Subbasal band of hindwing present 



on upperside, snbmedian baud of undeiside of hindwing crossing cell at M\ curved 

 behind, often feebly developed in and beyond cell, sometimes vestigial beyond cell ; 

 red subanal spot M' — M' vestigial or absent, apparently never so well developed 

 as it is in most specimens of the preceding races ; a more or less distinct white 

 spot within black band proximally of white spot 11- — W of hindwing above, seldom 

 vestigial only, often a second spot between W and M', and the vestige of a third 

 between R' and R-, rarely also a trace of the spot SC- — R'. 



The black subajncal cell-band of the forewing varies very much ; it is vestigial 

 in a Felder specimen (without locality). 



Genitalia: Apical lobe of harpe narrower than in the otlier races, the dentate 

 ventral edge proximally not produced into a ]irominpnt tooth. 



The 8i)ecimens from British Guiana have rather heavier black bands ; the 

 second band of the forewing is nearly as broad in the cell as the interspace between 

 the tirst and second bands ; the marginal and postdiscal bands are deeper black 

 than in atito.vlaus from the Amazons and Andes, the j)ale line within the postdisc.il 

 band being jiractically absent from I he n]ip('rside. The interspace between the post-
