Hob. Noeth Ameeica, Arizona 1 . — Mexico, Northern Sonora (Morrison). 



We possess a single male specimen of this species from Sonora thus named by the 

 late Mr. Morrison, and agreeing with Mr. Edwards's description. The types were taken 

 at Prescott in Arizona by Mr. Doll, near our northern frontier.

Alis fusco-brunneis ; anticis ad cellulae finem obscurioribus : subtus griseis, linea communi discali nigra 

 extrorsum albo introrsum late rufo marginata in posticis valde undulata, lobulo anali nigro introrsum 

 rufo notato, macula juxta eum nigra albo atomata, puncto nigro inter ramos medianos introrsum rufo 

 late circumcincta, marginibus externis ipsis rufis ad angulum posticarum analem nigris. 



$ mari similis, sed dimidio posticarum margini interno proximo albido, punctis nigris ad angulum analem. 



Hah. Mexico x , Milpas in Durango (Forrer), Cordova (Bumeli), Jalapa ( W. Schaus) ; 

 Guatemala, San Geronimo, Calderas, DueSas (Champion), Polochic valley (F. D. G. & 

 0. S.) ; Costa Rica, Cache (Bogers). — South Ameeica, Amazons valley. 



We have several female specimens of a Thecla from Mr. Bates's collection from the 

 Amazons valley, and another from Maranham of the same sex ; these all agree with 

 females from Central America, whence we have also obtained males which we believe 

 to belong to Hewitson's Thecla azia described from a single Mexican example. The 

 species is thus a widely distributed one, but apparently nowhere common. The rufous 

 outer margin of T. azia is characteristic, rendering it easily recognized. 



196. Thecla rufo-fusca. 



Thecla rufo-fusca, Hew. 111. Diurn. Lep. p. 196, t. 78. ff. 627, 628. 



Alis fusco-brunneis ; posticis macula inter ramos medianos nigricante introrsum rufo cincta, margine externo 

 nigro albido introrsum limbato, ciliis albidis : subtus fuscis, linea communi discali fusca extrorsum albido 

 introrsum rubido limbata undique lunulata, lobulo anali et macula inter ramos medianos nigris introrsum 

 rubido cinctis, marginibus externis anguste rufis.

We have one of Hewitson's types of this species before us and many specimens from 

 Pernambuco collected by the late W. A. Forbes ; with these a small series of Guatemalan
