West Indian specimens seem to be more heavily marked on the under side than specimens from the mainland, so I have retained the name filenus for this form, although it is probably at most but a choromorph of the continental (Stoll, 1790, p. 170, pi. 39, f. 2, 2b). Specimens from Florida, the Bahamas, Cuba, Hispaniola and Jamaica seem to be the same. In the there are 87 specimens from Oriente, Sta. Clara (Soledad) and Habana. 107.

The two black spots of the under side are repeated above on the hindwing, as.
