It is, I think, more than probable that Torhjra spectabilis, Wkr. (Brazil), and Choregia fulgens, F. & R. (Colombia), are also varieties of this species ; indeed, Zeller indicates the same opinion in naming Choregia ignita under his remarks on Choregia fulgens, and under a separate heading. The differences appear to be the generally brighter colouring of the thorax and fore wings, and the small longitudinal black streaks running towards the apex of the wing in the West-Indian form.
