The female of what appears to be the typical Behecca has the 

 hind wings on the npperside distinctly margined with ferruginous ; 

 in the true Virgilia this colouring almost entirely disappears, and the 

 colours of the underside become brighter.

Bogota. B.M. 



Probably a local form of Virgilia, but in the form of its wings 

 more like Chrysogone. The central band of the underside differs 

 from that of Virgilia, the subbasal line being much more convex 

 and the discal line irregularly undulated and less distinctly margined 

 with pinky white.
