I saw many examples of this species at Obydos, on the Guiana 
side of the Lower Amazons, sailing at a great height across sunny 
spaces between the tree-tops in the forest, and consequently un- 
attainable during the short time I spent at the place. It is a well- 
known Guiana species, being found at Surinam and Demerara.

This grand species takes the place of M. Hecuba on the southern 
bank of the Amazons. I captured many specimens at Villa Nova 
and Ega, at both which places it was abundant during nearly the 
whole year. It has the same habits as MM. Hecuba.
