lleAvitson's figure of the ty^pe female shoAvs metallic blue edges to the cell spots of the forewing 
beneath: this may Avell be so, but our exami^les are nearly' all bred specimens and none of them show 
these blue scales. We haA’e seen tAvo specimens only' from Derby and they are both females. 
167. Ogyris amaryllis TIewitson. 
This is the most Avidely distributed species of the genus. It is found throughout the continent and 
is one of the feAv characteristic buttertlies of the dry interior. The typical race is found in but a small 
district and is peculiai’ in differing considerably from the races to the north and to the south, while 
they approach each other closely. The name oroetes has been often Avrongly^ afoplied to the race 
amaryllis meridionalis,
