 Thecla vibulena Hewitson [in part], 1877, Illustrations of diurnal Lepidoptera: 



Lycaenidae, vol. 2, figs. 599, 600 (only). 



Male (figs. 43, 44). — Similar to bactra, differing in being slightly- 

 larger and in having dark borders of hindwings wider on the upper 

 surface, especially so near apex. Forewing below differing from bactra 

 in lacking the red along inner side of postmedian band. Hindwing 

 below with less red along innerside of this band and with elements of 

 this band forming thi-ee distinct, connected V-shaped bars below 

 vein M3. 



Length of forewing 11-14 mm. 



Male genitalia, as illustrated by figure 4, with aedeagus longer than 

 in bactra or caulonia, usually nearly 4 mm. in length and nearly 

 straight, the distal end similar to caulonia, not upturned as in bactra; 

 lateral lobe of uncus with distal margin concave and lower distal angle 

 not greatly expanded but slightly more so than in bactra or caulonia; 

 lower margin concave. Harpes fused ventrally just barely over thi-ee- 

 fourths of their length; in lateral view with apices slightly expanded, 

 not long and tapering. Eighth tergite (fig. 20d) with posterior 

 concavity narrow and much deeper than in bactra but not as narrow 

 as in caulonia. 



Female (figs. 45, 46) . — Similar to the male, f oremng above slightly 

 bluish at the base. Hindwing above with border below vein Cui 

 more broken, with dark spots more isolated and mth blue over disc 

 not quite as brilliant. Wings underneath not different from those 

 of the male and differing from bactra in the same ways that the male 

 does. 



Length of foremng 11-13 mm. 



Female genitalia, as illustrated by figure 24, with ductus bursae 

 and bm-sa copulatrix long, being about 5 mm. in length and just over 

 5 times the rndth of ostium bursae, with the pair of sharply pointed 

 ostium bursae lobes similar to those of caulonia, but shghtly larger,
