C. teuthras Wkr. is one of the most common species being distributed almost through the whole teuthras. of Tropical America from Mexico toArgentina, immediately recognizable by the red, black-margined discoidal spot. The black, blue-spotted abdomen exhibits at the base lateral red spots. According to the extent of the red costal- and inner-marginal streaks different forms are denominated. In the name-type the inner-marginal red only extends somewhat beyond the middle.

C. caecum Hmps. (= impar Bruce pr. p.) (14 c). Exactly like the teuthras cingulatum Btlr., only caecum. the discoidal spot is entirely black, rarely with a reddish brightening in the middle. The red colour is generally duller, more brownish. Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama.

C. parambae Rothsch. (14 c) greatly approximates the preceding and differs by its brown, not orange- parambae. red costal and inner margin, by orange-yellow, not red colour at the base of the hindwing and abdomen, by the more brown thorax, by the black distal margin of the forewing being very narrow between the upper median and lowest radial vein but growing very broad between the upper median vein and the inner angle. Besides the species is much smaller. Ecuador.
