above, fonr in nnmber, the two middle oues confluent costally. Greenish straw- 

 yellow area of hiudwiiig triangular, extending beyond apex of cell ; abdominal fold 

 brown ; a red line from R- to abdominal edge, interrupted at the veins, the line of 

 spots continued to costal margin on nnderside. 



Scent-organ : Wool huffish, scales beneath it denticulate, mostly asymmetrical, 

 those in front of fold mostly short, truncate, feebly denticulate. 



Genitalia : Central dentate ridge of harpe narrowed at base, widest above, 

 longer than broad, the dentate edge incrassate, bearing conical teeth, no row of teeth 

 across its lateral surface ; no ventral process on clasper.

Two subspecies.

cJ. Forewing somewhat distinctly falcate ; posterior spots of cell large, very 

 distinct also below, the subapical one at least as long as the interspace between the 

 two spots. The red spots of the npperside of the hindwing and the yellow sub- 

 marginal spot R- — R' on the whole somewhat larger than in the following 

 subspecies. 



Hub. Colombia : Magdalena valley, presumably also Cauca valley.

cJ. The spots in the cell of the forewing small, generally absent from the 

 underside or vestigial, the interspace between the two posterior spots much wider 

 than in the preceding subspecies, the subapical spot standing about halfway between 

 lower angle of cell and R^ ; this spot on the whole larger in Ecuadorian specimens 

 than in Peruvian and Bolivian ones. Blany individuals have in front of R- a small 

 discal dot, which does not appear to be ever present in P. I. lamis. 



The specimen (name-type) in the Royal Scottish Museum belongs to this form. 



Hab. Eastern Ecuador to Bolivia.
