postcostal cloud beyond cell : two feebly marked aiiteiiicdiau lines, enrvini;' costad. 



Hindwing : a single broad pale band, greenish, often with a reddish tint, entire 



or interrupted ; distal margin also pale. Ab<loraen blackish olive-green dorso- 

 laterally at the base ; this colour more or less occupying also the tergites of the 

 first two segments, two rows of dots on back. Sj)iues of abdomen very strong, 

 single on last segments and long in tiiis and several of the following species (the 

 same in ihc/7/s). 



S. Sexual armature much like that oi unulj/iH, slightly variable geogra]ihically; 

 left side-patch of teeth of penis-slieath with fewer teeth than in iinnbits. 



Early stages not known. 



IJai. Neotropical Region, excl. of Antilles. 



Four subspecies. 



Stoll's figure is doubtless meant for the Venezuela-Surinam form of this 

 species. Clemens's description of thalassina applies also to the iiresent insect, 

 though it is quite impossible to say with certainty to which special subspecies the 

 descrijition refers ; under these circumstances we can do nothing with the name but 

 treat it as a synonym of amadis. Though we have kept docilis separate from 

 amadis, we are. not sure that it is a distinct species. On the other hand, further 

 researches and more material from different localities may prove that ((hkkHx, 

 stuarti, and q/rcne are not only specifically distinct from docilift and epapI'ii.-<^ but 

 also from one another.
