BUTTERFLIES — HERRERA A]SD FIELD 485 



Male genitalia as illustrated (figs. 30, 44). 



Close to autodice, having a slightly more sinuous aedeagus. No 

 differences were observed between the two subspecies of hlanchardii. 

 The genitalia of sLx males were studied. 



Female: Plate 2, figure 8; plate 3, figure 9a. Head as in the male. 

 Wings with dark markings black to dark brown. Ground color of 

 forewing above pale j^ellow to white, usually paler in base of wing. 

 Ground color of hindwing above yellow, sometimes cream colored. 

 Wings below colored as in the male. The female differs from the male 

 by the yellowish ground color of the hindwing above and in having all 

 dark markings larger and more distinct, in having the wedge-shaped 

 marlvings of forewing above extending inward to the cell and in having 

 these marlvings on this sm-face of the hindwing extending inward to 

 the base along both sides of the veins. From females of autodice it 

 differs in having the wedge-shaped markings on forewing above longer 

 (extending inward to the cell) and in having the gi'ound color of hind- 

 wing above yellow or cream colored, not white or white with a faint 

 yellowish tinge. 



Length of forewing, 24-30 mm. (average, 27 mm.). 



Female genitalia as illustrated (fig. 85). With anterior lobe of inner 

 genital plate subtriangular and having its posterior margin slightly 

 undulate and its ventral margin broadly produced near the middle. 

 Ductus bursae with narrow ribbon-like plate opposite opening of 

 ductus seminalis divided into two elements and with a single large 

 subtriangular plate and two small plates anterior to this. The geni- 

 talia of six females were studied. 



Type locality: "Valparaiso," Province of Valparaiso, Chile. 



Additional type data: Originally described from two specimens, 

 one of each sex (locality as given above; collected by Thomas Edmonds, 

 1882). The male specimen is hereby designated the lectotype. 



Location of type: Lectotype in the collection of the British Mu- 

 seum (Natural History). 



Method of identification: Photographs of a topotypical male 

 were compared with the lectotype of blanchardii by Mr. D. S. Fletcher 

 of the staff of the British Museum and were found by him to represent 

 that species. These photographs are reproduced here as figure 17 on 

 plate 3. Fletcher Avrites that the dark bar at the end of the cell on 

 the lectotype does not extend to the costal margin. However the size 

 of this bar is somewhat variable. 



Synonymical notes: 



TatocUla hlanchardii ab. izquierdoi Ureta, 1937. Type locality, "Chile" (exact 

 data unknown). This was described from a female specimen in the collection of 

 Vicente Izquierdo Phillips. It is an aberrant specimen having a great amount of 

 black suffusion particularly on the upper side of forewing, where from the apex of 

 the cell to the submarginal sagittate markings this wing is almost entirely black.
