indicated in C. bactra. Forewing underneath with costal margin 

 orange red; outer margin slightly darker than ground color; a faint 

 double row of slightly darker submarginal bars along outer margin 

 above vein Cu2. Hindwing beneath with anal lobe black; immedi- 

 ately inward from this on abdominal margin an orange-red bar; a 

 few white scales between bar and anal lobe; a black or brown line 

 extending from anal lobe around outer margin, becoming lighter 

 brown near costal margin; inward from and adjacent to this line a 

 white line fading into pale brown above vein M3; mterspace Cu2 \vith 

 a submarginal orange-red lunular marking, partially enclosing a smaU 

 black spot along its outer edge; between the limular marking and the 

 anal lobe a submarginal dark brown lunular spot suffused with bluish- 

 white scales; inward from this lunular spot and between middle 

 elements of W-shaped portion of postmedian band an orange-red 

 lunule; a double row of very faint and irregularly-shaped dirty white 

 submarginal spots above vein Cui. 



Length of forewing 11-12,5 mm. 



Male genitalia, as illustrated by figure 1, with aedeagus short, 

 under 3 mm. in length, nearly straight, slightly upturned distally and 

 with base slightly down turned; lateral lobe of uncus \vith distal 

 margin nearly straight and lower distal angle not greatly expanded, 

 lower margin of uncus concave; haipes fused ventraUy nearly seven- 

 eights of their length, in lateral view gradually tapering and forming 

 a long narrow apex. Eighth tergite (fig. 20a) with posterior concavity 

 broad and shallow. 



Female (figs. 37-42). — Wings on both surfaces much Kke the male, 

 but frequently with some pale blue in base of forewing above and 

 with blue of hindwing above much less brilliant; differing on the 

 hindwing underneath in usually having a little orange red above Cuj 

 next to the submarginal black pupillated lunule. 



Length of forewing 11-12 mm. 



Female genitalia, as illustrated by figure 22, with ductus bursae 

 and bursa copulatrix relatively short, being about 3.5 mm. in length 

 and just over 4 times the width of ostium bursae, posterior ostium 

 bursae lobes sharply pointed. 



Type-locality. — "Nicaragua." 



Additional type data. — C. bactra was originally described from a
