c? ? . The species is veiy variable in the general tint of the forewing as well 

 as in the extent of the black bands of the hindvviug ; the extreme individnals are 

 connected by all intergradations. The black bands of the liindwing are not rarely 

 widened and joined along the nervares to each other and to the marginal baud, 

 (he outer half of the wing in this case appearing black with three rows of red 

 spots. The subma'rginal black band is sometimes so broad that there is little left 

 of the external row of red spo( s ; on the other hand, the band is often reduced 

 to small vein-spots. The second black liand is occasionally very narrow. Knd of 

 antenna see PI. LX. f. 6. 



c?. Tentli tergite (PI. XXIII. f. 2. o) widened at the eud and rounded 

 horizontally, appearing pointed in side-view ; sternite sinuate, the angles roundel. 

 Harpe (PI. XXXI. f. ;">) not much raised above the plane of the clasper, varying 

 somewhat individually, especially the submedian ridge, which is occasionally very 

 indistinct; distal process flat upon the clasper, not projecting beyond the ventral 

 edge of the latter. Penis-sheath (PI. XXX. f. 1.5) destitute of hooks and teeth ; 

 a rounded, rod-like carina running up to the tip, where it turns iuternad, being 

 continued on the inner side of the sheath. Friction-patch see PI. LVIII. f. 20. 



?. Eighth tergite rather broadly sinuate. Vaginal plate longitudinally concave 

 behind orifice, very slightly cliitinised, latero-distal edges more strongly chitinised ; 

 a fold in front of the orifice. 



Larva yellowish pale green, a yellow dorso-lateral lii.e, wliite X-shaped dorsal 

 markings, except on segments 1 to o ; seven white oblique side-bauds witli a red 

 frontal border, segments 4 to II with a longitudinal yellow veutro-lateral stripe. — 

 Food-plant : uot known ; probably Oreoduphnc. 



Hub. Southern Brazil to Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica. Apparently rare in the 

 Andes of Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia.
