is a well-maiked red spot on the fore wing just beyond the 

 apex of the discoidal cell, which is much less developed in 

 Burchell's specimens and in the remaining two of the 

 Godman-Salvin series of five. 



Omitting the consideration of this last variable character 

 in S.E. Brazil, it appears that the development of the red 

 ))atch at the base and the blue line at the hind margin are 

 the chief characteristics of the western forms, and that both 

 become more reduced as we follow tiie species south-east- 

 wards, until, in extreme varieties, the blue line may be lost 

 altogether (as in 757). Furthermore, the five specimens 

 from New Granada indicate that a reduction of red similar to 

 that of the east also occurs to the north.

Bz.-^ 28.8.27. =760. "Retiro." This locality on the 



specimen is confirmed by tl)e Brazilian Note-book and 



the ' C^atalogus Geogiaphicus.'

Westwood's list agrees, but includes an additional specimen 

 captured on this last date, and another with the date 

 11. 2. 26. Organ Mountains (in a walk to the Ip^ trees). 

 On 758 he had written " Catagr. Candrena lib., Zutr. 8l'3, 

 894."

 This specimen does not bear any of the numbers of West- 

 wood's list of Nymphalinaj, but it is probably referred to 

 under Callicore eluina, Hew.

Bz. 285.111. [n. 10. 2b']. =765. Minas Geraes. Para- 

 hiba. '■'■ Papilio . . . (253).'''' This latter number refers 

 to a missing specimen wiiicii Burchell considered identical 

 with 2§5. Opposite [253) he had written "Papilio ' 88.' 

 In open sunny places ; very common about Ranchos 

 and m yards near houses. It is often very familiar." 

 [Butterflies of this genus [Catagramma) are called 88's 

 because of the markings on the undersides of the hind 

 wings.]
