NO. 3552 GENUS CALYCOPIS — FIELD 11 



ductus bursae only slightly curved, or if greatly so, this curve near 

 middle. 



Type-locality. — "Rio" [Rio de Janeiro, Brazil]. 



Additional type data.— This species was described from the female 

 sex and the niunber of specimens in the original series was not indi- 

 cated. Although the C. Felder collection of Lepidoptera supposedly 

 went to the British Museum (Natural History), the type of this species 

 could not be located in that collection by Mr. D. S. Fletcher. I am 

 not suggesting that a neotype be designated at present because of the 

 possibility of the type being in some other European collection. 



Distribution. — Widely distributed in Brazil from Amazonas and 

 Pernambuco south to Santa Catarina. 



Brazil: State of Amazonas, Manaos; State of Pernambuco, Espirito Santo, 

 Recife; State of Baia, Tijuca; State of Rio de Janeiro, Petropolis, Rio de Janeiro, 

 Nova Friburgo; State of Santa Catarina, Joinville (April, August, September). 



Material studied. — Twelve males and 10 females, including 

 their genitaUa.

Male (figs. 47-48, 51-52). — Closely allied to janeirica, differing in 

 having the brilhant blue of hindwing covering a much smaller area and 

 thus leaving a very much broader border on this wing. Differing from 

 janeirica on the undersurfaces in having the ground color a warmer 

 brown and with all red markings more of an orange red. The red of 

 the postmedian band on the forewing below is frequently present 

 but is very faint. 



Length of forcAving 11-14 mm. 



Male genitalia (figs. 5, 21, 21^-^') with uncus, harpes and aedeagus 

 in lateral view very much as in janeirica; lateral lobes of uncus in 

 dorsal view further apart and more expanded, forming a deeper middle 

 notch than in janeirica and harpes fused ventrally for a gi-eater dis- 

 tance than in that species. Figures 21, 21h-j show variation of 

 harpes in lateral view. Eighth tergite (fig. 20e) with posterior 

 concavity as deep or deeper than in janeirica and much broader. 



Female (figs. 49, 50). — Most specimens differ from janeirica in 

 the same way that the males differ, in having a wider brown border 

 with a smaller blue disc on the upper surfaces of the hindwings and 

 in having the red of the postmedian band on the forewing below present 

 but very faint. In janeirica this red is usually absent. I am unable 

 to distinguish some female specimens from the state of Parana, Brazil 

 from janeirica; however, all males I have seen from Parana are typical 

 chacona.
