This form is imlividuall}' so variable in every locality that none of the slight 

 differences found in specimens from diflferent districts appear to hold good. On the 

 whole the median band of the bindwing below is more pro.ximal in the individuals 

 from the Guianas and the Lower and Middle Amazons than iu the Andesiaii 

 sj)cc'imcus. In many of the Andesian individuals the frons is nearly or ipiitd us 

 extended brown as in the Brazilian subspecies. 



The first and second bands of the forewing reach nsually beyond SM-, some- 

 times extending to the hindmargin, bnt there occur also specimens in which both 

 l)!inils stoj) short at SM-. The fourth band extends mostly across two-thirds the cell, 

 often nearly attaining the hindmargin of the cell, sometimes being reduced to a 

 small costal spot. The cell-bauds are usually rather heavy in Guiana specimens, the 

 fonrth reaching often nearly or entirely across cell. The transparent submarginal 

 intersp.ace bears in costal third, sometimes nearly all over, brown scales instead of 

 white ones, these brown scales occnpying on the whole a larger portion of the 

 transparent space than in the preceding geographical forms. The position of the 

 median band of the bindwing is somewhat variable, the Andes specimens agreeing 

 in the position of the band and the extent of the red scaling with archcsilaus. 

 The apex of the cell of one of our numerous Zamora (Ecuador) examples has the 

 apex of the cell of the hindwing filled in with red scales. In an individual from 

 Rio Demerara, Britisli Guiana, July 1897, the sixth band (postdiscal) of the 

 forewing is much shaded with white behind, not joining tiie marginal band. 



Genitalia: The har[ie exhibits also considerable variability. In nearly all the 

 specimens the dorso-apical deflexed ridge is produced into a more or less denticulate 

 triangular tooth of variable dimensions (fig. 3, p. 708) ; this tooth is occasionally 

 absent, the ridge being ronnded-dilated proximally and simply serrate. This 

 reduction of the tooth obtains in our four specimens from Archidona, N.E. Ecnailor, 

 and in one of our individuals from the Rio Chuchuras, Huanuco, Peru.
