Several other variants of A. fatima have also been reported or 
described, most of which are well within the normal phenotypic 
range. The more unusual forms include Kruck’s “moreno” (a 
melanic lacking the characteristic band), and Hoffmann’s striking 
“albifusa” (with the forewing band extending toward and fusing 
with the subapical white spots). Aiello and Silberglied (1978) 
reported, but did not describe taxonomically, an aberration with 
orange instead of red hindwing markings 3 , apparently due to the 
homozygous condition of a recessive allele at a single locus. A sim¬ 
ilar, probably homologous aberration apparently exists in amathea 
(A. Shapiro, pers. comm.). 
The only common name we know for A. fatima is simply 
“Fatima” (Klots, 1951). 
FI hybrids between amathea and fatima are illustrated in Figure 
4. These reared specimens closely resemble those captured by G. B. 
Small, K. S. Brown (1975), and ourselves at several localities in 
eastern Panama where the two distributions are contiguous. The 
two reciprocal hybrids are intermediate between the parental spe¬ 
cies, and similar to one another, in color and pattern, and there is 
relatively little variation among the offspring of either cross. A 
paper illustrating and describing the FI, backcross and F2 genera¬ 
tions, and discussing the interspecific genetics of pattern characters, 
is in preparation.

3 We have since found that the red color of normal fatima (and amathea) can be 
changed to orange, identical to that of this aberration, by immersing the wings in 
dilute hydrochloric acid.
