350 On the Pierine Butterflies of the Genus Daptonura. 



the anal angle ; the female more opaque than in D. pana- 

 mensis, not ochre-yellow on the secondaries ; therefore this 

 female would answer to the female of " D. panamensis " 

 figured in the l Biologia. 7 



Staudinger's D. chagris is said to resemble his Z>. pana- 

 mensis in both sexes, excepting that it has a somewhat 

 broader black apical border and the under surface of the 

 primaries is white with yellow costal border. 



Staudinger's D. cMricana is a " self," the male citron and 

 the female ochre-yellow ; it corresponds exactly with a pair 

 so-named in the Hewitson collection *, which I am satisfied 

 are conspecific with D. florinda ; whilst Hewitson's third 

 example is gamboge-yellow, and therefore is intermediate 

 between D. anceps ? and D. chiricana ? . 



As another instance of variation in ground-colour in this 

 genus I may mention that I have no doubt of P. pedrosina 

 being a mere form of P. palaestra , differing in having the 

 secondaries and costa of primaries on the under surface white 

 instead of yellow ; there is no other difference by which to 

 separate them. 



My D. pedrosina , therefore, will sink as a seasonal form or 

 a sport of D. palaestra, Hopffer. 



* Staudinger's " ochre-yellow ?) I should call bright orange.
