Hindwing: the line as on forewing, postmedial, straight to inner margin. Forewing below very similar; no 
antemedial line. Hindwing below: the line fine, tawny olive, subterminal, slightly excurved and outbent, well 
outcurved from vein 5 to vein 2, then slightly upeurved to inner margin. Expanse: 57 mm. French Guiana; 
Ponte Nova, Amazons. 
B. itamaraty Foett. (88 d). Male : Body and wings pale pinkish buff. Collar tipped behind with xanthine 
orange. Tegulae with some flesh ocher irrorations. Abdomen: a dorsal xanthine orange line and some finer 
segmental lines. Forewing: base with some flesh ocher irrorations; costal edge, lines, cilia, except at base of 
inner margin and a streak on fold below cell xanthine orange; antemedial line very fine, vertical, not reaching 
inner margin; an oblique hyaline spot at discocellular expanding to vein 4; outer line very oblique, angled at 
vein 7 with a dark line from angle to apex, expanding somewhat to inner margin and inwardly pale edged; 
a fine dark line from vein 5 to tornus; terminal space somewhat suffused with light drab. Hindwing: the 
outer line continued to inner margin below middle; outer half of wing irrorated with drab. Wings below whiter 
irrorated with drab. Forewing: no antemedial line, the outer line as above; a dark line from vein 3 to tornus. 
Hindwing: the line fine, postmedial, almost vertical to vein 4, rounded and incurved to inner margin. The 
museum specimen does not show the hair brown spot at apex, as figured in the Rev. Mus. Paul. Expanse: 
60 mm. Joinville and Sao Paulo, Brazil. The hindwing is evenly rounded. 
B. balca Schs. Male : Body and wings pinkish buff. Abdomen with a dorsal avellaneous line. Forewing: 
costal edge, a fine line on submedian fold, an oblique line from costa to discocellular, and outer line pale orange 
cinnamon; outer line as in itamaraty, but finer and not pale edged inwardly; the angle almost touching termen, 
the line from it to apex black; from line at vein 4 some black suffusions parallel with line forming a black spot 
above inner margin, other black scaling diverging at vein 3 to tornus. Hindwing with the line as on forewing 
followed by a black spot on vein 4; a few dark scales on terminal space. Wings below paler with a few black 
irrorations. Forewing as above, the hyaline spot outwardly edged with fuscous; line very fine, postmedial more 
evenly curved than in itamaraty. Expanse: 55 mm. Onrai. British Guiana. The tornus of forewitrg and termen 
of hindwing crenulate. 
B. strigifera Fldr. (88 d). Male : Wing shape of itamaraty, the anal angle of hindwing somewhat acute. 
Head, collar, thorax and wings pinkish buff; abdomen pale pinkish cinnamon. Wings with some slight brownish 
scales on terminal space, the lines buckthorn brown; cilia tawny olive tipped with pinkish buff. Forewing: 
antemedial line very faint, slightly outcurved; hyaline spot at discocellular narrow in front, expanding behind; 
outer line narrow, oblique from costa, angled below vein 7 with a fine line from angle to termen at apex, below 
angle inbent to inner margin; a fine dark line from vein 4 oblique to tornus. Hindwing: the line postmedial, 
straight; a brownish line from vein 4 to termen below vein 2. Wings below similar. Hindwing: a small dark 
streak on discocellular; the line postmedial, slightly inbent to vein 4, rounded and sinuous to inner margin. 
Expanse: male, 56 mm; female, 63 mm. Colombia. The identification is possibly wrong, as I do not know what 
direction the line on under side of hindwing follows. Felder’s figure, a female, shows also a heavy outcurved 
antemedial line. 
B. turgidus Schs. (88 d). Male-. Body and wings pinkish buff thickly irrorated with sayal brown. Fore¬ 
wing: a wavy antemedial cinnamon line, slightly outbent, the costal edge buckthorn brown; an oblique hyaline 
spot at discocellular expanding behind; the line fine from costa, cinnamon buff, very oblique, sharply angled 
at vein 6 with a hair brown line from angle to termen near apex, from angle inbent, thicker, cinnamon, inwardly 
edged with light ochraceous buff; veins terminally warm buff; an interrupted hair brown streak from line at 
vein 4 to termen at tornus. Hindwing: line as on forewing medial on costa, postmedial at inner margin; a fine 
hair brown line beyond medial from vein 5 to vein 2 before termen; cilia on both wings tawny olive tipped with 
white. Wings below with fewer dark scales; line fine tawny olive, otherwise as above. Hindwing below: the 
line very fine, postmedial, outbent and curved, then inbent to inner margin. Expanse: male, 49 mm; female, 
60 mm. Muzo, Colombia; Sixola River, Costa Rica. Tornus of forewing, and termen of hindwing crenulate. 
B. ligina Schs. Male : Body and wings pinkish buff; abdomen and base of forewing with a few dark 
scales. Forewing: lines and discal spot as in turgidus, the outer line finer, fawn colour, more excurved from costa, 
the angle more remote from termen; small hair brown spots beyond line below veins 4 and 3. Hindwing with 
some scattered dark scales; line as on forewing just beyond middle, the space beyond to termen suffused with 
avellaneous; a small dark spot between veins 4 and 3; cilia orange cinnamon tipped with white. Wings below 
paler; forewing as above, the line paler and finer; line on hindwing very faint in type, shaped as in turgidus. 
Termen crenulate. Expanse: male, 40 mm; female, 50 mm. Cachi, Juan Vinas, Costa Rica. 
B. gilia Sells. Male : Body and wings to line light ochraceous buff without any dark scales; terminal 
space olivaceous avellaneous; line huffy, olive brown inwardly edged from angle of forewing with warm buff. 
Forewing: a hyaline spot as in ligina, but slightly larger; outer line angled well before termen. Hindwing: line
