FIGURE 81. Hybrid #48 (dorsal, ventral). Colombia, Muzo, 400–800m. 1907–1908, leg. Fassl. (Same data as Hybrid #43). Interpreted by Mallet et al. (2007) as a H. melpomene "{euryas}" (Fig. 73) x H. cydno cydno (Fig. 72) F1 (see nomenclatural notes under Hybrid #41). Given the logic about F1 phenotypes discussed above (Hybrid #44), this specimen, #43 and #44 are very unlikely to all be F1 hybrid offspring of the same two races. Here, the HW submarginal band is completely absent on the dorsal surface and a shadow on the HWV. The shadow of the HWV subcostal band is again present. Neither of these is a feature of H. cydno cydno, casting doubt on the identity and/or locality of this specimen.
