Alis obscure brunneis ; antieis infra cellulam ad marginem internum obscure purpureo-eyaneis, cellula fere 

 nigra, stigmate ad finem ejus elliptica ; posticis medialiter obscure purpureo-eyaneis : subtus fuscis, lineis 

 tribus flavido-albis communibus, una discali in posticis angulata et nigro introrsum marginata, duabus sub- 

 marginalibus ad medium marginis posticarum externi confluentibus, maculam magnam flavidam formante, 

 lobulo anali et macula justa eum nigris, introrsum flavo marginatis, macula nigra flavo circumcincta inter

Bah. Panama, Chiriqui (Trotsch). — Amazons valley x 2 . 



The single male specimen which we figure was sent us by Dr. Staudinger. It differs 

 slightly from our Amazon examples in that the colouring of the wings above is of a 

 darker purple with no admixture of blue ; the yellow at the anal angle on the underside 

 is also of a paler tint. A series of specimens would probably show that these differences 

 are permanent, but with only one specimen before us we do not feel justified in assuming 

 that they are so.

Bah. Mexico 1 2 , Jalapa ( W. Schaus). 



We have two Mexican examples of this species, but without special locality ; Mr. 

 Schaus's specimens, however, were captured near Jalapa. The only species that we are 

 acquainted with to which it is at all closely allied is T. rhodope. 



84. Thecla rhodope. (Tab. LIV. figg. 3, 4c?.) 



Thecla rhodope, ubi ? 



S T. xami similis, sed posticis plaga discali ad angulum analem fulva maculisque submarginalibus nigris : 

 subtus fascia discali magis undulata, ad ramos medianos fracta, baud profunde angulata differt. 



Hob. Mexico, Northern Sonora {Morrison). 



We have a single male specimen taken by the late Mr. Morrison on our northern 

 frontier and sent us with the above name attached to it. This at present is all we 

 know of the species.
