Dear Mr Waterhouse1

I enclose a shabby little morpho, from Rio Grande do Sul. Can you give me the name on a post-card, and if it is a common species?

yours very truly | Alfred R. Wallace [signature]

The insect seems a much rubbed specimen of Morpho thamyris, Felder not uncommon in Southern Brazil. 12. v. 09 <Jattem>2
