3. A very slight modification of the two fore- wing 

 yellow bars in sapho eleuchia gives us the characteristic 

 yellow or white bars in forms of antiochus. 



4. H. sara theudela presents only a very slight modifica- 

 tion of the pattern of some examples of sapJw priimdaris. 



5. Some examples of leucadia pseudorhea have the rudi- 

 ments of a hind-wing marginal white border, strongly 

 suggesting that more highly developed in theudela and 

 forms of sapJio. 



6. Many forms of leucadia and sara have on the under- 

 side of the hind- wing a variable number of red spots form- 

 ing a discal row more or less parallel with the hind-margin, 

 though I have not seen any trace of this in sapho or 

 antiochus. 



7. Except for the red subcostal streak in antiochus, the 

 hind-wing basal spots on underside of that species are 

 almost exactly like those in sara. Moreover, in many 

 examples of antiochus there is a yellow spot near the 

 middle of the inner margin on the hind- wing underside. 

 Several specimens of sara show the same peculiar yellow 

 spot. 



H. erato, etc. 



The forms and reputed species included in this associa- 

 tion present a case somewhat analogous to the great 

 melpomene association in Section I. 



The following considerations of the patterns support the 

 conclusions based on the structure of the armatures — 



1. himera may well be a form of hydarus with the red 

 and. yellow markings reversed. 



2. notabilis microclea, with its double spots, may be traced 

 to erato through a form of erato estrella, which has white 

 subapical spots in the fore-wing, exactly the same white 

 spot appearing in notabilis notabilis. 



3. hydarus hydarus (resembling melpomene) has several 

 admittedly conspecific forms which are totally unlike. Of 

 these hydarus colombinus has a red fore-wing discal band 

 and a central horizontal hind-wing yellow band. Beyond 

 a slight difference in shape of this yellow band there is 

 little to distinguish it from that of petiveranus. 



4. hydarus chestertoni is a glossy blue form with a central 

 horizontal hind-wing yellow band. If cyrbia be compared 

 with this, the hind- wing yellow in that form, apparent 

 only on the underside, is quite evidently the same as that
