Dr. Staudinger considers this insect to be a variety of Morpho Rhetenor. Cram., to which his 

 var. Caci'cfl forms a transition. He adds, "Morpho HtJena seems to be somewhat larger than 

 Rhetenor and Cacica, as one S expands 135 and another 144 millim. ; while my largest males of 

 Rhetenor and Cacica measure only 130-132 millim., and the smallest 115. The typical Rhetenor 

 occurs in Guiana (Cayenne, Surinam, &c.), as well as at Iquitos in the Amazon District. The 

 variety Cacica. which I have received only from Chanchamayo in the interior of S. Peru, occurs 

 singly as an al>orratiou at Iquitos. It remains to be seen whether the very remarkable var, 

 Helena from N. Peru will afterwards be met with in other localities."
