an oblique dash rather larger than that of the female near the 

 outer margin ; the female differs in having the band beyond 

 the middle of the primaries uninterrupted ; both sexes show 

 hardly a trace of the reddish suffusion on the costa and apical 

 border of primaries below, but quite as much or more bright 

 orange on the secondaries.

If this and the following are varieties, tliey must be 

 tolerably constant and frequent ones ; but it appears to me 

 that whereas D. erythroe copies Leucothyris ilerdina^ D. jlam- 

 mula more nearly resembles Hymenitis sarepta, and that 

 whereas D.fervida is a copy of Leucothyris priscilla, D. ly- 

 sinoe is stated by Bates himself to be " quite unlike any 

 lihomiu found in the whole region," and he regards it as a 

 mimic ot Stalacldis Duvalii. It is hardly probable that mere 

 sports of the same species would be formed in imitation of 

 species belonging to different families or even different genera.
