Male with green spot on the forewing; hindwing with red nonopalescent central area, not extending further towards the base than to the middle of the cell.

Guiana; Upper Orinoco; Amazon from Para upwards; eastern slopes of the Andes of Peru and Bolivia.

The female occurs in two forms: female-f. specularis R. & J. has on the forewing a large white spot before the 1. median, and usually several smaller ones, of which one is in the cell.

We know only one form of the female; in this the white spot of the forewing — linus R. & J. from the Middle Amazon (Santarem, Obidos, Massauary) was unknown to Bates.

The red spots on the underside of the hindwing of the male are paler than in the last subspecies, and stand closer together and nearer to the cell.

The red area on the hindwing of the male is small, and is whitish yellow on the under surface.

Forewing of the female black, with white spots on the fringes; hindwing with a whitish yellow area.
