postcostal clond beyond cell ; two feebly marked aiiteinediau lines, curving costad. 



Hiudwing : a single broad pale band, greenish, often with a reddish tint, entire 



or interrupted ; distal margin also pale. Abdomen blackish olive-green dorso- 

 laterally at the base ; this colour more or loss occupying also the tergites of the 

 first two segments, two rows of dots on back. S]iines of abdomen very strong, 

 single on last segments and long in this and several of the following sjiecies (the 

 same in flocilis).

 left side-patch of teeth of penis-sheath with fewer teeth than in (m/ih'/s. 



Early stages not known. 



Jiab. Neotropical Region, excl. of Antilles. 



Four subspecies. 



Stoll's figure is doubtless meant for the Venezuela-Surinam form of this 

 species. Clemens's description of tlialdssiiia applies also to the jiresent insect, 

 though it is quite impossible to say with certainty to which special subspecies the 

 description refers ; under these circumstances we can do nothing with the name but 

 treat it as a synonym of amadis. Though we have kept i/ocilis separate from 

 amudin, we are not sure that it is a distinct species. On the other hand, furtlicr 

 researches and more material from different localities may )>rov(' that amadix, 

 Stuart i, and a/i'ene are not only specifically distinct from clocilis and cpaplias, but 

 also from one another.
