60 RHOPALOCERA. 



ill. Thecla minthe, sp. n. (Tab. LV. figg. 15, 16 <? .) 



T. gadirce quoque similis, quoad picturam paginae alarum superioris ; anticis subtus dimidio interno sericeo- 

 cyaneo facile distinguenda. 



Hab. Mexico, Milpas (Forrer). 



Mr. Forrer obtained a single male specimen of this species in the Sierra Madre in 

 Durango, at an elevation of nearly 6000 feet. In general appearance T. minthe is 

 closely allied to T. gadira and T. norax, but may readily be distinguished by the blue 

 patch on the under surface of the primaries beneath. 



b 5 . Wings without an alar stigma. (Species 112-209.) 



f 5 . Wings green beneath ; secondaries with outer margin much rounded and without 



marginal filament. (Species 112-115.) 



112. Thecla quaderna. 



Thecla quaderna, Hew. Descr. Lye. p. 35 1 ; 111. Diurn. Lep. p. 209, t. 83. ff. 703, 704 2 . 



Alis nigris ; anticis infra cellulam ad marginem internum, postieis interne et lineola submarginali ad angulum 

 analem laate caeruleis : costa anticarum ipsa et ciliis, cervinis : subtus viridibus , linea communi discali 

 ruberrima in anticis fere contiDua in postieis omnino fracta, lunulas varias formante, maculis aliis sub- 

 marginalibus sagittiformibus quoque ruberrimis, squamis quibusdam nigris notatis. 



Hab. Mexico 1 2 , Las Vigas ( W. Schaus) ; Guatemala, Quiche Mountains (Champion). 



We have a single male specimen of this species, taken by Mr. Champion in the 

 Quiche Mountains. The description was based upon a Mexican example which we 

 have examined. 



113. Thecla aura, sp. n. (Tab. LV. figg. 21, 22 s .) 



T. quaderna! similis, sed anticis omnino nigris ; postieis tantum medialiter cyaneis, lineola submarginali cajrulea 

 nulla : subtus magis glaucis, linea discali anticarum margini extemo propiore, maculis submarginalibus 

 runs nullis. 



Hab. Costa Eica, Irazu (Rogers) ; Panama, Chiriqui (Trbtsch). 



This species is clearly distinct from T. quaderna, though closely allied to it. We 

 have as yet only seen two male examples, one from each of the localities cited above. 

 We figure the one from Costa Kica. 



114. Thecla attalion, sp. n. (Tab. LV. figg. 19, 20 <? .) 



T. quaderna! quoque similis, sed alis supra omnino brunneis ; postieis lineola submarginali ad angulum analem 

 tantum cserulea. 



Bab. Mexico, Orizaba (Salle). 



The brown upper surface of the wings of this species renders it easily distinguishable
