Hewitson's figure of this insect was taken from a worn 

 male from Brazil. I have now seen several good specimens 

 of both sexes, and take this opportunity of re-describing 

 the species. The metallic spots on the upper-side are 

 very similar to tho.-e of tSymmadda, faMma (Cram.). My 

 collection contains three males, two of which were received 

 from Dr. Staudinger.

This species is about the same size as >S'. eraesina, Staud., 

 from the Upper Amazons, but may at once be distinguished 

 by the absence of the ferruginous apical patch on the 

 primaries and the ochraceous bund crossing both wings, 

 which in certain lights is shot with blue. I have also 

 seen a specimen of /V, profjne, from Chanchamayo, in Dr. 

 tStaudinger's collection. It is very like S. temesa., Hew., 

 from Ecuador, but is differently coloured above and 

 beneath. Four males.
