76 EHOPALOCEEA. 



internum bene angulata, introrsum ochraceo-rubro marginata, linea submarginali fusca albido introrsum 

 marginata, plaga magna extra earn a ramo mediano usque ad angulum analem ochraceo-rubra, lobulo 

 anali nigro, macula juxta eum nigra albo atomata, macula inter ramos medianos quoque nigra. 



Hah Guatemala, Polochic valley (F. D. Q. & 0. S.) ; Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt \ 

 Janson). 



We have three specimens of this species agreeing with Hewitson's type, but none of 

 them in good condition. The species clearly differs from T. beon, to which it is allied, 

 by the red marks on the wings beneath of the latter species being of an ochraceous 

 tint and in the discal band of the primaries having no inner border ; the portion of the 

 band also which passes between the median branches of the secondaries is straight and 

 not arched. The type formed part of Mr. Belt's Nicaragua collection. 



We figure a Chontales specimen.

Thecla autoclea, Hew. 111. Diurn. Lep. p. 194, t. 77. ff. 616, 617 \ 



Mis supra brunneis ; posticis, angulo anali puncto rubro instructor margine externo nigro lineola alba mar- 

 ginata et intra earn maculis duabus submarginalibus nigricantibus, ciliis sordide albidis : subtus T. beoni 

 persimilis ; posticis linea discali inter ramos medianos fere recta, macula extra linea inter venam sub- 

 medianam et ramum medianum primum absente, capite inter oculos rubro. 



5 mari similis, sed posticis rubro ad angulum analem tinctis. 



Hah Mexico, Mazatlan (G. Mathew), Jalapa ( W. Schaus) ; Nicaragua, Chontales 

 (Belt 1 ); Panama, David (Champion), Panama city (Bibbe). — Venezuela. 



This is another ally of T. beon, the markings of the under surface being very 

 similar, but showing the differences pointed out above on the upperside, where it differs 

 widely in being of a nearly uniform brown. A single female from San Esteban, 

 Venezuela, exactly resembles the male. 



Hewitson's type is a female from Belt's Nicaragua collection. Our figure represents 

 a specimen of the same sex from David. 



155. Thecla nortia, sp. n. (Tab. LVII. figg. 11, 12 d , 13 $ .) 



Alis fusco-nigris, area anticarum juxta marginem internum et posticis intus obscure cseruleis, lobulo anali 

 puncto rufo, lineola submarginali ad angulum analem et ciliis sordide albis : subtus griseis, linea 

 communi discali extrorsum albo limbata in posticis ad marginem internum bene angulata et introrsum 

 fulvo limbata ; posticis lobulo anali nigro, macula fulva juxta eum, macula nigra inter ramos medianos 

 introrsum rubescenti-fulvo circumcincta, plaga nigra juxta earn albo atomata, linea lunulata submarginali 

 fusco utrinque albo atomata. 



5 alis supra fuscis, anticis ad basin et posticis plerumque cseruleo lavatis, aliter alis maris similibus. 



Hob. Guatemala, San Geronimo, San Isidro (Champion). 



We have a pair of this species, the male taken at San Isidro, the female at San 

 Geronimo, both in Guatemala. The female has a general resemblance to that sex of 

 T. my con, but the male is widely different.
