NO. 3552 GENUS CALYCOPIS — FIELD 13 



process; aedeagus very distinctive, having basal end upturned; harpe 

 somewhat similar to bactra but slightly more blunt at apex. Eighth 

 tergite (fig. 20/) very much as in chacona and slightly smaller. 



Female (figs. 59, 60). — Differing from the male by having a more 

 extensive blue area in the base of the hindwing on the upper surfaces 

 and in having the brown border on lower haK of this wing more 

 broken into isolated black spots. Similar to bactra female with blue 

 somewhat brighter and extending over much of base of forewing. 

 Wings underneath not differing from those of the male. 



Length of forewing 11.5 mm. 



Female genitalia, as illustrated by figure 26, with posterior ostium 

 bursae lobes only sHghtly produced, rounded and lacking the pair 

 of spurs usually present and thus very similar to cecrops and some 

 specimens of susanna. It differs from the latter species in having a 

 shorter ductus bursae and bursa copulatrix. 



Type-locality. — Obidos, State of Amazonas, Brazil. 



Additional type data. — Described from the holotype, male 

 Gocahty as given above; USNM type 34898; E. A. Smyth Collection; 

 male genitalia preparation WDF 2725, 1948); allotype, female (same 

 locality; Oct.-Nov.; M. de Mathan; Rothschild bequest; female 

 genitalia preparation WDF 3468, 1951) and from ten male paratypes 

 from Obidos and from other locaUties in the state of Amazonas, 

 Brazil. 



Location of types. — Holotype and two male paratypes in the 

 United States National Museum. Allotype and eight male paratypes 

 in the British Museum (Natural History). 



Distribution. — State of Amazonas in BrazU north into French 

 Guiana and Surinam. Note: Material from French Guiana and 

 Surinam was not included in the type series because of the remoteness 

 of those countries from the type locality. 



Brazil: State of Amazonas, Obidos (October-November), Itutuba to Obidos 

 (January to April), Juhuity (April), Manaos. French Guiana: Colonic de la 

 Guyane, Cayenne. Surinam: District?, Sint [sic] Barbara Plan [sic] (Suriname 

 River, April). 



Material studied. — Fifteen males and one female, including their 

 genitaUa. 



The torqueor Group 



In this group the lower angle of uncus is about as in the janeirica 

 group. The aedeagus is sharply upturned dis tally and curved to the 

 right (in dorsal view), the distal portion of the aedeagus bifurcate in 

 dorsal view, and bluntly pointed in lateral view. The fused harpes 

 in ventral view are not nearly as wide as long. One species is assigned 

 here.
