 of the forewing more oblique than in the other subspecies; a row of nelndous bluish grey spots between 

 the cell and the submai-ginal spots: harpe terminating in a two-pronged fork, whose prongs are straight and 

 approximately of equal length. In the ? the middle vaginal lobe is short, the side one narrow aiul pointed. 

 The two colour varieties are: ?-f. cleotas (Iraij, similar to the cf, and ?-f. adaea /<'. & J., in which both wings adaea.

 (PetropoHs) to Rio Grande do Sul : according to Boisduval also in Uruguay, but the statement appears to us doubtful. 



P. aristeus. Cell-spot of the forewing very large, the discal spot between the 3. radial and 2. median 

 very long, forming with the cell-spot a large pale yellow area. The ? resembles the o^, or the markmgs 

 of the upperside are l)luish and the discal band of the hindwing is broad; both foi'ms on the underside 

 with large, more or less distinct pale yellow cell-patch. South America and Panama. - aristeus Cr. {o' = nristeus.
