The collection contains uumerous specimens of this species. Mr. 

 Trimen sinks A. sganzini, Boisduval, as a synonym of A. encedon, Lin- 

 uieus. I have reluctantly been compelled with the growth of material 

 in my possession to come to the same conclusion. .4,. usagarcv, Vuillot, 

 is an extreme form of sganzini, Boisduval, in which the white trausap- 

 ical baud is entirely suffused with the brownish red color of the wings 

 and the spots are largely obsolescent, though identical in arrangement 

 and form with those found in normal specimens. The most of the 

 specimens in the collection made by Lieutenant von Hohnel are typical 

 A. encedon, Linnieus.
