Colombia, and elsewhere. The considerable reduction in the size 

 of the pale emerald spots on the wings, with the consequent increase 

 in the breadth of the darker portions of the wings, gives them a quite 

 different fades from that presented by specimens coming from the 

 American mainland. A similar reduction of the spots is shown in 

 specimens from Haiti and Porto Rico, before me. I am inclined to 

 regard the form as an insular variety, for which I propose the sub- 

 specific name of Victorina stcneles iiisularis var. nov. 



Smaller in size than the average of specimens from other parts of 

 the American tropics; darker, because of the restriction in size of 

 the light spots upon the wings; spots in the cell usually not confluent 

 with those on the disk, as is generally the case, and greatly reduced 

 in size, sometimes to mere points. 



The specimens were taken at various localities from May to Sep- 

 tember, but mostly in June and July. Those taken at the later dates 

 appear to be with few exceptions worn females.

There are nine males and seven females of this little species, which 

 were captured from May to August, mostly at Nueva Gerona. One 

 specimen is labeled as having been taken at Los Indios, and another 

 at a different locality. The specimens taken in May and early June 

 appear to be fresh, as if just from the chrysalis, those captured at 

 later dates are more or less worn.

There are seventeen specimens, all taken from May 6 to May 20, 

 at Nueva Gerona, except one specimen, which was taken on May 20 

 at Los Indios, and a dwarfed male, which was taken at Columbia, 

 August 18, 1912.
