hind margin and is one quarter inch wide. The space beyond this to tip is 
brick-red. In the discoidal space are two brick-red spots bordered with black, 
one near the base and showing suffusion toward the base; the other larger 
and crossing centre of discoidal space; beyond this larger spot are two black 
lines. The lower portion of the wing, from a line drawn from anal angle to 
apex of the discoidal space and thence down the median vein, is mouse color. 
The under side of secondaries is brick-red, with a slight blue lustre in certain 
lights. The hind and inner margins are bordered by a thread of black. One 
quarter inch within the hind margin is an indistinct line of black, following 
the contour of the margin, with suffusion toward base of wing. In the 
centre of the discoidal space are two small black spots. Beyond these, in the 
discoidal space, is an indistinct black line extending up to costa. One quarter 
inch beyond this line is another, running downward from costa, just beyond 
discoidal space, and fading away towards median veinlets. 
This female was received by me from the Bogota District in 
1898. Its general appearance is identical with that of the male, 
although somewhat larger than most of the hundreds of males 
in my collection. The main feature, its distinctive mark, is the 
brick-red tip on under side of primaries, the space being blue- 
black in the male.
