of the forewings and minute blue submarginal spots of the hindwings. The under surface is yellowish grey 
with the same markings as in the g, but without a lustre. — elegans form. nov. from East Colombia (Upper Rio 
Negro, 800 m, A. H. Fasst) is either a temporal form of magdalena or a proper species. It is much more 
imposing, the colour of the basal part of the forewing and of the greatest part of the hindwing is verdigris, of 
which colour all the larger subapical and submarginal spots are, too. The under surface is paler and the sub- 
basal band of the forewing is absent. 
A. vestina Hew. from Ecuador not lying before us, according to the description of magdalena (120 C c), 
greatly resembles magdalena (120 Cc) beneath, but the under surface is apparently browner. The upper sur- 
face of the forewings has a brown distal margin and the hindwings are red-brown with a broad bent green longi- 
tudinal band. Otherwise the upper surface agrees with magdalena. 
A. forreri G. and 8S. (120 De). Wings bluish-black; forewing at the basal area of a bright blue and 
with a blue subapical band from the costal margin as far as nearly to the border, as well as two confluent blue 
spots near the anal angle. Forewings very pointed, hindwings without tails. Beneath of a pale brown, irro- 
rated with brown and grey, and especially in the anal angle of the forewings thus marbled, the forewings with 
a rusty-reddish hue in the discal area. @ like the g, but the hindwing with a spatulate tail. Mexico; 
Guatemala. 
A. ambrosia Druce (120 Da) from Chiriqui seems to be very constant above and beneath, since the 
4 $3 lying before us do not exhibit any differences. The 2 is unknown to us. It has on the hindwings bright 
metallic marginal spots standing between the chief veins, on the so-called intermediate veins. 
Of A. phoebe Druce (120Cc) from Bolivia we reproduce a copy of the original figure. It seems to be 
the Bolivian representative of ambrosia. Above the blue margin of the forewings is broader and more uni- 
formly connected with the subapical band and the internerval diffuse spots of the margin of the hindwing are 
united to an uninterrupted marginal band; the under surface is more chequered by being more traversed by 
light cloudy bands. It is, furthermore, of a quite different shape of the forewings and hindwings. 
A. chorophila spec. nov. (120 Da) from East Colombia (Upper Rio Negro, 800 m) and Bolivia (Rio 
Songo, 750 m, A. H. Fasst). We cannot decide for certain whether the figured 9 (from Bolivia) belongs to 
this species. It is beneath rather pale: brownish-grey with a faint greenish shine, on the forewings there runs 
from the apex towards the middle of the inner margin a series of obsolete blackish spots, a larger spot of the 
same colour at the end of the discocellular, somewhat brightened at the distal margin. The hindwings 
exhibit 2 obsolete broad dark oblique bands in the outer half of the wings, and between the tail and the 
inner angle some obsolete whitish-reddish spots. 
A. polyxo Druce (120 Da,b) from the Upper Amazon, from Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, and according 
to Druce also from Rio is a very attractive species with a pretty and most characteristic under surface. The 
specimen before us from Bolivia (Coroico, 1200 m, A. H. Fasst) is beneath much lighter. The 2 is unknown 
to us. 
A. dia S. and G. 3 wings greenish-black; the forewings at the base of a hardly stronger green colour, 
with a lustrous light-green curved subapical band of 3 to 5 mm breadth, being parted by the veins, reaching 
the anal angle, touching the margin in the posterior half of the border and being continued on the hindwings 
as the same marginal band and reaching their anal angle. Fringes white; hindwings without tails. The 
under surface is without markings, dark silky brown, the apex of the forewing and the margin of the hind- 
wing grey, the dorsal area of the hindwing somewhat lighter. — The most closely allied with the Brazilian 
polyxo, differing, however, by the colouring of the upper surface of both wings, which are more green than 
blue. Panama. On the whole, the upper surface greatly resembles that of A. florita (120 Bb), but instead 
of the spots before the apex there is a small oblique band with a more intense blue lustre than the blue basal 
part. — A. divina Stgr. i. 1. (120 Db) from Bolivia (Coroico, 1200 m, A. H. Fass) and the Upper Amazon 
resembles the preceding species above and beneath, though it is much more imposing. The magnificent upper 
surface is equalled by the entirely different under surface. The @ is unfortunately not known to us. It is 
very rare. 
A. aureola Bates (120 Db) from Guatemala, Panama (Lino, 800 m) and Colombia (Muzo 400 to 
800 m, A. H. Fasst) vies with rosae in the beauty of the under surface. In the 2 being extraordinarily diffe- 
rent, the broad white band of the upper surface of the forewing is noticed also beneath where it is distally broa- 
dened and blurred, on the whole yellowish and with single brown small spots; the hindwings exhibit 2 large 
and 3 small golden spots in the shape of a row being geniculated in the middle and turned towards the inner 
margin. 
A. pasibula Dbl. and Hew. (120 De ) occurs in two subspecies, the figured fassli subsp. nov. (120 D c) 
from East Colombia (Upper Rio Negro, 800 m) and Central Colombia (Canon del Tolima, 1700 m, A. H. Fass) 
with a bluish-black upper surface and reduced, more bluish marking and a somewhat darker under surface, 
and pasibula from West Colombia (Rio Aguaca Valley, 2000 m, A. H. Fassu, and Cauca Valley) with a greenish- 
elegans.
