(? ? . Generally mixed up in Cdllection with fnihltiitiKitii, from wliicb it differs as 

 follows : 



Apex of forewing pointed, not sinuate between SC^ and SO"', i.e. not dentate at 

 S(!"' ; underside paler, clayish. Tentb tergite (c?) less compressed at end. more 

 evenly rounded in side-view, sternite rather broader (PI. XLIV. f. 14. 16) ; process of 

 ])enis-sheath (PI. LIII. f. 30) much less curved, its right edge not serrate, apex 

 bifid as in liopjferi.

Boisduval's sjsecimens described in Ijcp. Guatemala, I.e., are preserved in the 

 collection of Mons. Cliarles Oberthiir; the <S is subhamata, while the ? belongs to 

 the present species. If Boisduval had not cited Felder's plate, and not clearly shown 

 by the synonymy that he adopted the name from Felder's plate in preference to his 

 own manuscript name — wiiich, however, he could not persuade himself to suppress 

 altogether, publishing it among the synonyms in a distorted form — the name 

 caliginosa would have to be sunk as a synonym of subhamata ; but as the facts 

 are, we must regard Felder's figure as the type of Boisduval's cal/f/i/iosa, i.e. tii(> 

 individual from which that figure was taken as the type of the present species.

 Pachygonia hoppferi (!), Druce, in Bial. Ccnir. Amcr., Lep. Het. i. p. 4. n. 2 (1881) (partim). 



(? ? . Apex of forewing truncate or sinuate, distal margin angulate at R-, 

 concave between SC'' and R- ; clayish patch near the sinus not distinct ; submedian 

 and discal blackish band merged together, the median interspace between them 

 marked behind as an olive-russet patch, this patch sometimes vestigial. Bands of 

 hindwing rose-pink, a third band vestigial, crossing ai)ex of cell, the black median 

 band a little more proximal than in sub/iamata. 



(J. Tenth tergite (PI. XLIV. f. 13) somewhat carinate above before middle, 

 apex pointed, shortly hooked ; sternite gradually narrowed to end, this rounded, 

 feebly curved upwards. Clasper (Pi. XLVII. f. 9) large, somewhat acuminate ; 

 harpe curving upwards, then produced into a short, blunt, almost horizontal process. 

 Process of penis-sheath (PI. LIII. f. 28) rather long, slender, twisted, ending in 

 two fine points.
