BUTTERFLIES — HERRERA AND FIELD 509 



are covered with dark brown. Wings below with ground color of 

 hind wing and apex of fore wing pale yellow as in orthodice. Similar to 

 orthodice, homoeodice, and inversa in having veins on these areas more 

 narrowly covered with white and more narrowly bordered with dark 

 brown and unlike these species in having clearly defined orange lines 

 between the veins on these areas. Like orthodice and differing from 

 inversa and homoeodice in having orange on upper half of cell of hind- 

 wing below. 



Length of forewing, 23-27 mm. (average, 25.1 mm.). 



Male genitalia as illustrated (figs. 38, 52). Distal end of aedeagus 

 more slender than in any of the other species and with ventral lobe 

 formed by the lateral incision smaller and less produced, thus somewhat 

 similar to the autodice group from which it differs otherwise in being 

 gradually arched, not sinuous. The genitalia of 12 males were studied. 



Female: Plate 7, figures 24a-24c. Head with outer surfaces of 

 palpi vrhite. Scales behmd eyes white, thus differing from females 

 of inversa and orthodice. Wings above white, sometimes slightly 

 creamy with dark brown markings as illustrated, being very much 

 more extensive than in the male of this species and in other females of this 

 group, having the veins on both wings entirely and extensively covered 

 with dark brown clear to their bases and with the submarginal row of 

 sagittate markings very distinct even on the hindwing. Wings below 

 quite like the male, except with veins on base and disc of forewing 

 very distinctly outlined by dark brown, differing from inversa and 

 orthodice females in this character as well as in having clearly defined 

 orange lines between all of the veins on the hindmng and on apex 

 of forewing. The upper half of cell on hindwing is orange, thus 

 differing from inversa. 



Length of forewing, 22-26 mm. (average, 23.6 mm.). 



Female genitalia as illustrated (fig. 91), having anterior lobe of 

 inner genital plate with anterior margin serrate and with ventral 

 margin triundulate. Ductus bm'sae almost entirely sclerotized. The 

 genitalia of five females were studied. 



Type locality: "Cocapata," Department of Cochabamba, Bolivia. 



Additional type data and location of type: Described from 

 seven males, cotypes (locality as given above); of these, five now 

 remain in the Zoologisches Museum der Humboldt-Universitat, 

 Berlin. One of these was sent to us for study and it is hereby 

 designated as the lectotype. 



Method of identification: By a study of the lectotype. 



Synonymical notes: 



Talochila sligmadice f. immaculata Rober, 1908. This v'as described from the 

 male sex from Province of Tucumdn, Argentina. The type is in the Rober
