w i hi:: being dark gray-brown, the hind wing of the male solidly black. 

 Specimens from Rio Janeiro, Brazil, are essentially the same, but 

 have a little white on the edge of the hind wing, cutting off a row of 

 marginal dots (form vesta Walker female =dorsimacula Walker male). 

 In the Mexican specimens the markings, while essentially the same, 

 are lighter and more grayish, only the spot at base of costa and the 

 subbasal spots in the submedian space appearing dark. The hind 

 wings are white in the cell and beyond, brown shaded below, the 

 veins darker, with a diffused white submarginal shade, cutting oil' a 

 row of marginal gray spots. The form is allied to Podalia major 

 Schaus, but this is marked with a still paler gray, while the hind 

 wings are largely white, only brown-shaded below the cell to anal 

 angle. Misantla is the most divergent form, as the markings are 

 more separated and tend to be broken up into spots. In both 

 orsilochus and major there is a continuous broad median shade curv- 

 ing outward in the cell to costa; in misantla it is broken up into 

 separate markings and does not give the appearance of a continuous 

 shade. Orsilochus has the hind wings very dark, major has them 

 very pale, while misantla is intermediate in this repect.
