3. Automolis contraria, Walk., subsp. ? 
1 ?,from the Rio Madeira, caught. 
There are at least two subspecies of contraria; and the 
above specimen differs from typical 9 ? in having a very 
small subapical white spot, and apparently narrower black 
margins. It also has a yellow costa up to the black apex, 
while typical 9? ? have the costa black. 
Probably, therefore, further specimens would prove the 
existence of a third subspecies. 
[ dutomolis contraria peruviana, subsp. n. 
?. Differs from contraria contraria in the very much 
wider black apex to fore wings, in tlhe much larger white 
subapical spots, in the yellow nor black inner margin of 
fore wings, and in the much narrower black margins to fore 
and hind wings.
