Two paratypic males in the Academy Collection and one of the same 

 sex from Surinam (V-IX; Fruhstorfer) in the Hebard Collection have 

 been examined. This series shows a considerable amount of variation 

 in size and some in color. One Sao Paulo male is about equal to the 

 type in size, the other two specimens being appreciably smaller. The 

 additional Sao Paulo individuals agree fully with the type in color, while 

 the Surinam male has the greens much deeper, almost french green, 

 and the pink shades almost replaced by yellowish-white, sometimes 

 greenish-yellow, the purplish color of the caudal tibise being weaker and 

 replaced on the ventral surface by oil greenish.
