BUTTERFLIES — HERRERA AND FIELD 503 



an even larger discocellular bar than in the one ilkistrated (fig. 19) 

 and with a row of large submarginal dark spots present. Otherwise 

 it is quite similar to the one illustrated and has identical genitalia. 

 It is possible that inversa may be a synonym of homoeodice; however, 

 scarcity of material prevents that conclusion at this time. 



DisTRiBUTiojs: This species is too rare for any general statement 

 on distribution. 



Peru: Department of Cuzco, OUantaitambo (9,200 ft., March), Callanga (1,500 

 m.). Argentina: Province of Tucumdn, Quebrada Carapunco (2,500 m., 

 November) . 



Material studied: 2 males, 1 female.

 1, p. 23, May 1910. — Talbot, in Strand, Lepidopterorum catalogus, pars 53, 

 Pieridae 1, p". 59, Oct. 24, 1932. 



Venation: As illustrated (fig. 63). 



Legs: With paronychium, claw, and pulvillus as illustrated (fig. 77). 



Male: Plate 6, figure 21. Head with outer surfaces of palpi yel- 

 lowish white. Scales behind eyes orange. Wings with dark mark- 

 ings dark brown, ground color of upper surfaces and on disc and base 

 of apex of forewing underneath yellow. Hindwing with costal margin 

 and intervenal area below cell orange and with faint orange streaks 

 between veins along outer half of this wing. Veins on this surface 

 white broadly outlined by dark gray. Similar to T. orlhodice, dif- 

 fering chiefly in having the ground color below a much darker yellow 

 and in having all markings much stronger. This is true of these 

 markings on apex of forewing above also. From sagittata and stig- 

 madice it is easily distinguished by lacking all the black markings on 

 the uppersurface of the hindwing. 



Length of forewing, 25 mm. 



Male genitalia as illustrated (figs. 35, 49), with aedeagus more 

 swollen before distal end than in inversa and orthodice and differing 

 from sagittata chiefly in having a smaU but distinct, ventrally placed 

 subapical tooth in addition to the dorsally placed subapical tooth. 

 The genitalia of only a single male was available for study. 



Female: Unknown. 



Type locality: "Huancabaraba," Department of Piura, 'Teru." 



Additional type data: Described from three males, one labeled 

 type (= holotype, locality as given above and without further data) 

 and one labeled paratype (data as in the holotype, cf genitalia prep- 

 aration W. D. F. No. 5338) by Paravicini. The whereabouts of the 

 second paratype is unknown.
