tliiii dark line, internally relieved by small indistinct white 

 lunules. Hind wing : dull orange })atcli at base in continua- 

 tion of band in fore wing. Wiiite central patch with dull 

 orange band from inner margin to costa, broken, however, 

 between first and second subcostal nervules. Hind-marginal 

 band of dull orange, broadening at centre and narrow again 

 at anal angle, more serrated than in fore wing and bounded 

 by darker thin line relieved internally by larger white 

 lunules. 



Male (no. 662) diifers slightly from the female in size, 

 being rather smaller and having rather more pointed fore 

 ■wings. Also the kidney-shaped white spot under the costa 

 in the fore wing is a little smaller. On the underside 

 the central patch of white in the fore wing is extended nearly 

 to the apex, leaving only a narrow border of ground-colour 

 lining the apex and hind margin. In the hind wing the dull 

 orange band is continuous instead of being broken between 

 first and second subcostal nervules as in female. In other 

 respects the markings of the nuile are the same as in the 

 female.

 Burchell). From Goyaz northwards to Porto Real (Nacjionale) 

 on the Rio Tocantins : the interior of Eastern Brazil. 



These differ from the series of Cystineura apicalis, Stdgr., 

 in the British Museum and in the Godman-Salvin Collec- 

 tions chiefly in the absence of a large apical patch of dull 

 orange in fore wing, which is characteristic of all specimens 

 in those collections. 



In two specimens from Casa Branca, S, Paulo, in the 

 Godman-Salvin Collection the fuscous band in the hind wing 

 is broader than in apicalis and is of equal width throughout. 

 In depth of colour it resembles the hind-marginal border. 

 The dull orange apical patch extends from the kidney-shaped 

 white spot below the costa to the first median nervule, leaving 

 a narrow serrated border to the hind margin. The white 

 spots on the underside are less marked than in burchelli. 



In six from Chapada, also in the Godman-Salvin Collec- 

 tion, the fuscous band across the hind wing tapers towards 

 the costa as in burchelli, and in one individual is broken 

 between the first and second subcostal nervules. 



Two specimens from Paraguay (captured 1904 and 1905) 

 in the British Museum have a more slate-coloured appear- 

 ance, which is even more accentuated in two very fine 

 specimens from Coroico, Bolivia, in the Godman-Salvin
