Alis fuscis, stigmate spurio nigro ad cellulae anticarum finem; posticis maculis duabus nigris ad angulum 

 analem, lobulo anali rufo : subtus griseo-fuscis, linea communi discali fusca extrorsum albo limbata ad 

 margmem posticarum internum introrsum rufo marginata, lineola alba ad cellularum fines ; posticis fascia 

 albida per cellulam et ultra lineam discalem albicantibus, ad marginem extrorsum fusco nebulosis, lobulo 

 anali et macula inter ramos medianos nigris introrsum rufo limbatis. 



2 mari similis, sed alis pallidioribus ; posticis limbo externo nigro introrsum albo limbato, ciliis albidis. 



Hab. Mexico 123 , Cordova (Burnett), Jalapa (W. Schaus), Valladolid in Yucatan 

 (Gaumer); Guatemala, Polochic valley (F. D. G. & 0. S.), San Geronimo (F. I). G. & 0. S., 

 Champion), Panima (Champion), Coban (Von Tiirckheim) ; Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt) ; 

 Panama, David (Champion), Chiriqui (Arce, Bibbe), Calobre (Arce). — Amazons valley 3 . 



The discal line on the secondaries of this species varies to some extent, being 

 straighter in some specimens, and more undulating in others, but we are not able to 

 make any separation on this account. T. yojoa is not an uncommon species in 

 Guatemala, especially at San Geronimo in Vera Paz at an elevation of about 3000 

 feet above the sea. 



205. Thecla alea, sp. n. (Tab. LVIII. figg. 10, 11 6 .) 



T. yojoa similis, sed posticis in margine externo caerulescentibus, hoc colore maculis nigris submarginalibus 

 includente, margine ipso nigro, ciliis albis : subtus lineola alba ad cellulae anticarum finem nulla, macula 

 inter ramos medianos posticarum cervino (nee rubro) introrsum cincta. 



Hab. Mexico, Tres Marias Islands (Forrer), Jalapa (W. Schaus). 



We have a single specimen of this species from Mr. Forrer's collection from the Tres 

 Marias Islands, and have seen another in Mr. Schaus's collection. This species is no 

 doubt allied to T. yojoa, but the points of difference indicated above certainly suggest 

 its specific distinction.
