Aclytia flavigutta. (Plate VIII. fig. 3.) 
Euchromia (Aclytia) flavigutta, Wallcer, Cat. Lep. Het. i. p. 246. n. 79 (1854). 
Nearly allied to the preceding species, but the transverse band of primaries reduced to a 
small spot at end of cell. Body dark brown ; two dots behind the eyes and the lateral 
margins of the collar ochreous ; abdomen broadly metallic green at the sides ; trochanters 
and ventral stripe white. Expanse of wings 1 inch 3 lines. 
Brazil. 
The colouring of the abdomen alone readily distinguishes this species from A. halys. In 
A. heber, which comes nearer to A. flavigutta, the head and collar are spotted with white, and 
the trochanters and ventral stripe are of a purer white colour ; the secondaries also have a 
narrower black border.
