S ? . First band of forewing continued along SM^ ; subbasal band of hindwing 

 below entering basal cellule. 



The sjaecimens from Brazil have on the whole thinner black bauds than the 

 individuals from the Andes, Amazons and Gnianas, the median band of the 

 hindwing is often a little more distal, and both wings are more frequently con- 

 spicuously pervaded with yellow. 



There is considerable variability in the width of the wings as well as in 

 the size of the markings in the distal area of the hindwing. 



Genitalia : Defiexed dorso-apical ridge of harpe distinctly widened, dentate ;
