Glyphipteryx versicolor Meyr. 



Hiiulwings beneath with five silvery-Avhite marginal dots roujid 

 apex and upper part of termen, and corresponding spots on liase of 

 cilia. Besides the type I have examples fromMallali, British Guiana, 

 and Santarem, Brazil. The following five species are closely allied 

 to versicolor, but easy and reliable distinctions are found, especially 

 in the markings of the undersurface of hindwings (this surface is 

 probably displayed in courtship, the corresponding markings of the 

 upper surface being less develo)ted and less constant); versicolor 

 entirely. lacks the metallic dot at if of costa of forewings.
