14. — DANAIS STRIGOSA. 



Same size and shape as D. Berenice, of North America ; general 

 colour a little duller ; disposition of white spots and markings of the 

 underside the same as in specimens from the United States. Differs in 

 the nervures of the disk of the hind-wing being margined with gray. 



This can be considered only as a local form of Danais Berenice, 

 but it seems almost wholly to take the place of the type in Guatemala,
