Coetivy. — Two examples, September 1905. 



Seychelles. — Eight specimens from Mahe, Praslin, and Prigate Island. This short 

 series shows great variability in the conspicuousness of the discal spot of the fore wing, 

 this spot varying from obsolescence to very sharp definition in pure white. 



Distribution. — The range of this species is practically world-wide, one result of this 

 fact being that it has at ■various times been placed in about a dozen different genera, and 

 has received upwards of twice that number of specific names. 



Some localities are : — Mexico ; Grenada ; Jamaica ; Amazons ; Paraguay ; Argentina 

 throughout W., C, S., and E. Africa to Sokotra; E,odriguez ; Madagascar; Coetivy
