Calycopis nicolayi, new species 



Figures 2, 206, 113, 114 



Male (figs. 113, 114). — This species differs from all others in the 

 janeirica group in having ground color of forewings and costal and 

 outer borders of hindwings very much darker and piu-plish black in 

 color. It is similar to bactra and thus differs from caulonia, janeirica, 

 and chacona in having a very large blue disc on hindwing. This blue 

 as in bactra is more lustrous than in the above-mentioned species and 

 it lacks the pm-plish tinge found in bactra. The ground color under- 

 neath is very dark gray, not brown as in the other species. The 

 markings below are as in caulonia and janeirica with postmedian red 

 lunule of interspace Cu2 sUghtly suffused with black and sometimes 

 almost entnely black. 



Length of forewing 10-12 mm, 



Male genitalia, as illustrated by figure 2, with aedeagus about the 

 length and shape of that found in bactra, somewhat more slender and 

 less upturned at distal end; lateral lobe of uncus a,s in janeirica; harpes 

 fused ventrally about as much as in caulonia, in vental view shaped 

 about like that species and bactra, but in lateral view shaped like 

 caulonia and janeirica. Eighth tergite (fig. 206) with posterior con- 

 cavity broader and proportionately more shallow than in any of the 

 other species except chacona. 



Female. — Unlmown. 



Type-locality. — Joao Pessoa, State of Paraiba, Brazil.
