THECLOPSIS.— CHETSOPHANUS. 101 



2. Theclopsis caeus, sp. n. (Tab. LVIII. figg. 24, 25 6 .) 



T. demece valde affinis, sed anticis stigmate ad cellulaB finem parvo et subtns area interna viridescente mican- 

 tibus differt. 



Hah. Panama, Calobre (Arce). 



This species is described from a single male specimen. It is closely allied to Theclopsis 

 demm, having the same tint and distribution of blue on the upper surface ; but it differs 

 in having a small somewhat crescent-shaped brand at the end of the cell, and beneath 

 in having a large patch of shining scales over the middle of the primaries. 



II. Subcostal nervure of primaries with three branches. 



CHEYSOPHANUS. 



Chrysophanus, Hiibn. Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 72. 



The single species we place provisionally in this genus will probably have to be 

 removed from it when the Lycsenidse are investigated at large and a comprehensive 

 classification undertaken. 



The neuration of the wings is very like that of C. virginiensis, with which we have 

 compared it, and the outline of the wings not dissimilar, the anal angle of the secon- 

 daries being more produced ; the second median branch carries a moderate filament. 

 The primaries have no upper discocellular, but the middle discocellular meets the 

 subcostal nearly halfway between the junction of the second subcostal branch and the 

 upper radial with the subcostal respectively. The palpi have a long slender terminal 

 joint, the middle joint being much dilated ; the femur of the front legs is somewhat 

 dilated in the middle, and the tibia towards the distal end ; the tarsus is slightly 

 decurved towards the end, and the under surface sparsely covered with spines. The 

 hooks of the tegumen are abruptly recurved at their points ; the harpagones are large 

 elongated lobes with a serrate inner edge. 



The single species here treated of is found on the mountains of Guatemala. It has 

 none of the brilliant coppery colour usual in Chrysophanus, and the pattern of the under 

 surface is peculiar. 



l. Chrysophanus ? pyrrhias, sp. n. (Tab. LVIII. figg. 26, 27 s .) 



Alis purpureis, marginibus externis nigris, in posticis lunulis submarginalibus rufis includente, lineola submar- 

 ginali violacea : subtus rosaceo-fuscis, anticis area discali ocbracea, lineis tribus communibus transversis 

 in anticis nigricantibus, in posticis brunneis, una submarginali, altera discali in posticis nigro extrorsum 

 limbata, tertia per cellulas, anticis lineola per cellulee finem cellula posticarum quoque lineola brunnea 

 terminata.
