Hypocrita celadon (Cramer, 1777)

Cramer, P. (1777). De Uitlandsche Kapellen voorkomende in de drie
Waereld-deelen Asia, Africa en America, vol. 2. S. J. Baalde, Amsterdam, and B.
Wild, Utrecht; pp. 55-56, pl. CXXXII fig. E (as Phalaena celadon). Translated
from the Dutch original.

Fig. E. Celadon. This moth has thread-like antennae and a curled proboscis. On
the upper wings there is a dark purple sheen, and on the lower ones, as well as
on the body, a greenish sheen prevails over the blue and violet colour.
Beneath, the wings are not different from the upper sides in colour or in
markings, except that the said sheens are seen even more strongly there. It is
from Surinam and, together with the following, in the Cabinet of Mr. Z.
Vriends.

the World, vol. 6, The American Bombyces and Sphinges. Alfred Kernen,
Stuttgart; p. 435, pl. 61 d (as Eucyane celadon).

E. celadon Cr. (= anacharsis Bsd.) (61 d). Blackish-blue, forewing with a white
postdiscal band, which is parted by narrow black veins. Hindwing above only
with traces of an antemarginal band of white spots, whilst beneath it is
sometimes distinct. Ventrum uni-coloured blackish-blue. Fringes as in the
preceding species. Nicaragua to Surinam.

The preceding paragraph referred to (same work, p. 435, pl. 61 d):

E. eulalia Drc. (61 d) is likewise similar to speciosa, ventrum blue with quite
narrow white segmental margins. The discal bands are less broadly crossed by
black, those of the hindwing are farther distally removed.

The speciosa paragraph that it in turn refers to (same work, p. 435, pl. 61 d):

E. speciosa Wkr. (= herrona Btlr.) (61 d). Blackish-blue, with white discal
bands, which are broadly crossed with black by the veins. Fringes at the apex
and partly at the tornus white. Ventrum blue with white segmental margins. --
In the form venosa Fldr. the discal band of the hindwing is expanded to the
base, so that the hindwing appears white with a blackish-blue margin. Colombia
and Upper Amazon River.
