It is more tlian probal)lc that wliat we at present call 

 Idaius admirahilis is composed of a conglomeration of 

 several species ; but, without the examination of the geni- 

 talia of a large series of specimens from a variety of localities, 

 this can only be surmised. 



There are individuals with and without the dark spot 

 above vein 5, others with deep rose hind wings, some with 

 white hind wings, etc. 



The ? in the present series has white hind wings, no sj)ot 

 above vein 5, and an almost straight median band, while the 

 (J S all have tiie spot, have hind wings of varying shades of 

 ro-«e, and a strongly-curved median band.

All the three examples are of tlie typical form with yellow 

 abdomen. 



Formerly I sank the red-abdomened form dares^ Druce, 

 to the rank of an aijcrration, in view of the series of 

 specimens at Tring from Las Quignas, Venezuela, consisUng 

 of individuals with brick-ied abdomen as well as yellow. 

 Apparently, however, specimens with yellow abdomen do 

 not occur in Costa Rica and Ecuador, nor do individuals 

 with deep crimson abdomen occur in Eastern S. America. 

 Therefore, either dares must be treated as a suijspecies of 

 day a or as a good species : only the examination of the 

 genitalia can decide which.

cJ . Closely allied to melunupasta, Dogn., but differs in the 

 shape of the claspers. Externally the apex of fore wing is 

 more produced and the outer half of wing is less freckled ; 

 the hind wing has the apex produced to a sharp point, and the
