collected by W. J. Burchell in Brazil. 173 



ground-colour bordered by thin zigzag brown line and white 

 edging starts from costa, losing itself in central portion at 

 median nervure. Between each nervule and in a line 

 parallel to the hind margin six ill-defined white spots ; the 

 sixth, between the second and first median nervules, is 

 larger, not so white, and has a brown spot in the centre. 

 The remainder of the hind margin to anal angle is of the 

 lighter tint. 



Compared with an average specimen presented by Godman 

 and Salvin to the Hope Collection the following are the 

 chief points of difference: — The whole ground-colour is a 

 greenish-ochre ; the brown lines, many of which are so 

 thin and indistinct in Burchell's specimens, are much more 

 marked in the ordinary type ; in the hind wing the band of 

 ground-colour is bounded by a dark line which is prolonged 

 beyond the third median nervule across the second and first 

 almost to anal angle, and followed by the white all the way. 

 The white spots of Burchell's specimen are, however, hardly 

 traceable in the type. Again, the brown spot in discoidal 

 cell is far more strongly marked in both wings than in the 

 variety, in the hind wing of which it is, indeed, necessary to 

 use a lens to find any trace of this discocellular spot. Against 

 this, however, the brown spot in the lower part of the hind 

 wing is hardly traceable in the type. The central portion of 

 the hind wing is also less occupied by lighter colour, inasmuch 

 as the ground-colour from base and hind margin converges 

 more towards the centre than in this interesting variety.

Bz.+ 2 p. 5. 5. 29. S = 542. On the Rio Tocantins, north 

 of Porto Real (Nacionale). " Red Clay-slate cliffs ", 

 at Sucuri. 

 Westwood's list agrees. He gives the name as Apatura.

Against this last specimen West wood wrote "Apatura ? ?," 

 and he had separated it as a different species under another 

 number.

 Jeragua). "All at the rivulet near the house at Retiro." 



Westwood's list reads a. 24. 8. 27, which is obviously a 

 clerical error for this date. His dates otherwise agree. He
