with the third, belongiug to the submargiual series, lu the specimens ri'fL'r?-oi:l to 

 there are from one to three snbmarginal bars between C and R-. 



Scent-organ : wool brown ; scales beneath the wool somewhat elongate, 

 narrowed towards apex, mostly trnncate or feebly bidentate, partly entire. 



Genitalia : c?. No ventral process on valve ; central ridge of harpe widest 

 above, obliquely trnncate, without a row of toctli across its lateral surface. 



Early stages not known.

(? ? . The tawny discal band of the underside of the hiudwing is usually 

 somewhat curved anteriorly ; its black or brown proximal border is narrow as a 

 rule, bat is sometimes as broad as, or even broader tlian, the lawny band between 

 SC'' and R^ ; the i)ale central area is usually rounded off. The submarginal spot 

 W — R'on the upperside of the hindwing is small in most specimens, the admarginal 

 bar at its outer side is vestigial or absent, and the submargiual spot R' — M' is small 

 or absent. 



Genitalia : Apical edge of harpe with a few more teeth than in the following 

 form.

cJ. The yellow markings of the upperside ou the whole paler, but sometimes 

 deeper yellow, than in certain Central American specimens (does the colour darken 

 with age?); the yellow submarginal spots R'^ — M' of the hindwing larger, spot 

 R' — M' being always distinct and the admarginal bar R- — R^ never (?) absent; 

 the yellow discal band of the forewing dtejier incised ou the veins above and below ; 

 the black bands of the underside of the hindwing rather wider, the tawny discal 

 band more straight, the pale central area less rounded distally, and the wing 

 narrower between R' and R-, the distance from apex of cell to tip of R' being 

 somewhat shorter in P. in. panameiisi.'i than in /'. m. marcliamIL None of these 

 characters are constant, the two forms completely iutergrading. 



Hab. Costa Bica to West Ecuador.
