68 EHOPALOCEEA. 



umbrino atomato, macula juxta eum nigra albo atomata, puncto nigro inter ramos medianos introrsiim 

 rubro cincta. 

 $ alis fuscis caeruleo lavatis ; subtus alis maris similibus, sed omnino dilutioribus. 



Hab. Mexico, Valladolid in Yucatan (Gaumer) ; Guatemala, Polochic valley (F. D. G. 

 & 0. S.) ; Panama, David (Champion), Chiriqui (Trotsch), Panama city (Bibbe). — Colom- 

 bia ; Amazons valley 1 . 



There is some variation in the specimens we have referred to this species as regards 

 the width of the dark red inner border of the discal band. In the type this border is 

 not present ; in other specimens it is very narrow, so that, failing other distinctive 

 characters, we have no ground for recognizing more than one species. Our examples 

 from the Polochic valley are in very poor condition, but we have little doubt that they 

 really belong here. 



Chiriqui specimens are figured. 



133. Thecla tabena, sp. n. (Tab. lvi. figg. 14, 15 s .) 



Alis fusco-brunneis unicoloribus : subtus magis fuscescentibus, litura communi lata per cellularum fines flava, 

 marginibus externis flavo-fuscis, lineola irregulari submarginali includente, linea communi discali flava ad 

 marginem posticarum internum valde angulata et introrsum nigro limbata, lobulo anali nigro, macula 

 juxta eum nigro atomata, tertia inter ramos medianos introrsum umbrino cincta. 



$ mari similis, sed alis subtus dilutioribus. 



Bab. Mexico, Cordova (Bumeli), Jalapa(TF'. Schaus); Guatemala, Polochic valley 

 (F. D. G. &. 0. S.). 



We have only three specimens of this species, a male and a female from Mexico and 

 a male from Guatemala. The species is allied to T. myrsina so far as regards the 

 distribution of the markings of the underside, but differs above in being brown 

 instead of violet. 



The Mexican male is figured. 



134. Thecla tarpa, sp. n. (Tab. LVI. figg. 16, 17.) 



T. tabence similis ; alis litura communi et linea discali albicantibus, margine externo anticarum albicantiore 

 quoque differt. 



Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (W. Schaus). 



A single specimen sent us by Mr. Henry Edwards, to whom it was sent by Mr. Schaus, 

 is all that we have seen of this species. It is a close ally of T. tabena, but the 

 differences will be best understood by reference to the figures.
