S. Black distal border of hindwing, underside, thin from R^ backwards, 1 to 

 2 mm. broad at R-; black discal band of hindwiug crossing cell at base of M', 

 the point of origin of this vein situated within the band, the patch of ground- 

 colour in apex of cell much larger than tlie patch sitnatcd at base of cellule 

 SC^— R'. 



The subapical greenish white cell-baud of the forewing, upperside, usually 

 strongly shaded with black in the specimens from East Central Pern, and the 

 discal spots SC^ — R^ reduced in size ; these spots largest in Bolivian examples, 

 which have nearly always a distinct spot in the subcostal fork. The black distal area 

 nf the hindwing produced to cell at veins R- and R', widest in Peruvian examples, 

 ill which the white spots R' — R' situated at cell are often very small ; patch 

 SC^ — R' of ground-colour situated within black distal border small, often vestigial, 

 always smaller than the black spot standing at its proximal side ; pale postdiscal 

 patch SC* — R' of underside of hindwing larger and less sharply defined in 

 Amazonian, Peruvian and Bolivian specimens than in individuals from more 

 northern localities. Width of cell of forewiug and length of hindwing somewhat 

 variable. 



Ilah. Colombia: probably "terra caliente " on eastern side of Cordillera of 

 Bogota ; from East Ecuador eastwards to Pard, and southwards to South-East 

 Bolivia and Matto Grosso. 



Felder's specimens are said to be from "Bogota." As the "Bogota" 

 collections, which nowadays come on the market, contain apparently only the 

 preceding subspecies, it is possible that Felder's specimens are wrongly labelled, 

 being perhaps obtained in Eastern Ecuador.
