(? ? . The SS from Argentina, Paraguay, and Southern Brazil difier from 

 those from more northern localities in the clasper being pointed instead of evenly 

 rounded at end. These specimens have, like their ? ? , the lines of the forewiug 

 a little more white than northern examples. The darkest individuals occur on 

 the Leeward Islands, .St. Vincent, Sta. Lucia, etc. ; in these the white lines are 

 almost absent from the forewing in some of the few specimens seen.
