The only place where I took this species was in the 

 Horcones Valley near Piiente del Inca in Argentine terri- 

 tory at about 10,000 feet, on December 12th, 1901, where 

 it was not uncommon. Most of my specimens were lost, 

 but Fitzgerald took one probably in the same locality, now 

 in the British Museum, and Edmonds found it in the 

 mountains above the Baths of Cauquenes at 6000 feet in 

 January. It is very rare in collections, and the females 

 might easily be mistaken for pale examples of the same 

 sex of cytheris. The male, however, is very unlike 

 the male of that species and very similar to its own 

 female. It seems to be a true mountain species confined 

 to the northern parts of the country, and perfectly distinct 

 from either cytheris or modesta.

I found this first above the Bancs de Chilian at 7000 to 

 8000 feet on bare stony ridges above timber-line. Here 

 it was very hard to take, as it fiew very fast and quite close 

 to the ground, and was also very shy. I spent at least an 

 hour in securing two specimens, though they kept returning 

 to the same spots on little bare sandy places close to the 

 peaks but a little sheltered from the high wind. I did not 

 take the female, but have one from Edmonds, who found 

 it in the same place as the last but 2000 to 4000 feet higher 

 up, I also saw it and caught one specimen in Argentine 

 territory near Lake Alumine at about 5000 feet on January 

 30th. It froze hard the previous night in our camp but 

 was very hot in the afternoon.
