cj ?. The eliaracters by which some aiitliors tlioiight to be able to distinguish 

 alope, fascidtu and t>dwardsi, are jiartly individual, partly sc.xnal ; /'ase?a<a and 

 eilwardai are synonyms of alope. The species resembles rrameri in the dark- 

 coloured forewing, and laognathus in the yellow colour of the hindwing. 



$. Slender jirocesses of tenth sternite longer than the tergal lobes. Harpe 

 dilated at end, rather short (PI. XLV. f. 21). 



Larva brown above, green below, the two colours sej)arati'il by a nearly black 

 line, which is more or loss interrupted ; thorax with a large black mesial patch 

 anteriorly on third segment, inclnding a red ring ; horn very short. — Food-plant : 

 Jatroplia (Merian) ; Carica. 



Chrysalis darker than that of ello. 



Hab. Tropical and Subtropical America : West Indies, Bahamas, Florida, 

 southward to Southern Brazil and Northern Argentina. 



In the Tring Museum 1 larva, 8ii-odd specimens from : Florida ; Nassau ; 

 Jamaica ; St. Vincent ; various places from Mexico to Southern Brazil and Matto 

 Grosso. Not seen from the Bolivian Andes.

(??. The hindwing is deeper ferruginous-red in this species than in the 

 others, and the red colour is often entirely or partly replaced by brownish black. 

 The creist of the mesothorax is nearly as high as in alope. The abdominal tergites 

 arc black, except narrow, dorsally interrupted, sharjily defined, grey apical belts. 

 Tiie dark (brewing resembles that of crameri ; there is a large, triangular, costal, 

 apical grey patch. 



i. Loiies of tenth tergite broader and shorter thau in the other species 

 somewhat obtusely acuminate, the jirocesses not essentially longer than the tergite, 

 ciuved downward and very little outward at end. I'mcess of harjie with the upper 

 edge rounded-dilated at end, the dilated part elliptic. 



F^arva (iicc. to Burmeister, see i:en:i/on, below), very much like that of ello as 

 described by I'.iirmeister.*— Food-plant : Morrenia.
