Ecuador race. 



This race seems to be very varia!)le as regards the size and 

 number o£ marginal orange spots of hind wing. I have not 

 sutficient material bet'ore nie to venture to give it a name.

1 am quite of the opinion of Lord Rothschild [Novitat. 

 Zool. xxvi. p. 9 (1919)] that licot'deUa, Strand, is nothing 

 more than an aberration ot licoides, Boisd., and is to be found 

 among all the races of that species. Houlbert only knew of 

 specimens of licoidella from Peru, and }is he had a long series 

 — twenty specimens — before him, it is not surprising that 

 he took it to be a distinct species, I am, however, able to 

 add several new localities for this form, and I think if all 

 Lepidopterists who possess it would caretully examine the 

 localities of their specimens that other localities would 

 probably be added to its already known hubitat.

Differs from typical form in having white band of fore 

 wing somewhat narrower and in the subapical white spots 

 not being so sharply <lelined ; tlie white band of hind wing 

 more contiimous and less broken near costa than in the 

 Peruvian form.
