FIGURE 79. Hybrid #46 (dorsal, ventral). Colombia: "Santa Fé de Bogotá," 1907, leg. Donckler (NHMUK). There are a number of other Colombian butterflies in the NHMUK collected by Donckler and likely shipped to London from Bogotá. 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). The faintness and proximal shift of the HW submarginal band on the dorsal surface is unlike other putative F1 crosses of these two races. Given the lack of specific locality data, it is difficult to interpret what this specimen is.
