Calycopis torqueor (Druce), new combination 



Figures 7, 20g, 111, 112 

 Thecla torqueor Druce, 1907, Proc. Zool. Soc. London, 1907, p. 608. 



Male (figs. Ill, 112). — Wings above similar to indigo with border 

 on hindwing about the same as in that species but with two long 

 brilliant blue rays on hind margin of forewing, one above and one 

 below vein 2d A. Wings below hardly distinguishable from anfracta 

 and as in that species with red markings more distinct than in indigo 

 and with red lumde adjacent to postmedian band in interspace 

 Cu2 containing less fuscous than in anfracta. 



Length of forewing 14 mm. 



Male genitalia, as illustrated by figure 7, with aedeagus sharply 

 bent upward and to the right at distal end; saccus as long as harpe; 

 vinculum bent greatly to the rear; dorsal margin of tegumen (in 

 lateral view) greatly produced in the middle; uncus with lateral 

 elements similar to bactra; the lower margin short, with lower distal 

 lobe small and distal margin nearly straight; harpes (in lateral view) 

 of the common type, quite like janeirica, partunda, and several other 

 species in the genus, with basal two-thirds fused (in ventral view), 

 imusuaUy broad near middle, narrowing rapidly toward apex and with 

 free apical one-third widely separated; gnathos with a distinct tooth- 

 like carina on inner surface of forearm. 



Female. — Unknown. 



Type-locality. — "Carimang River [sic], British Guiana." 



Additional type data. — Described from a series of males aU 

 from the tji^je-locality. Druce designated a holotype as is indicated 

 in the original description wdth the statements: "Type Mus. Godman," 

 and "Whitely obtained a series of specimens which do not differ." 

 The holotype, now in the collection of the British Museum (Natural 

 History) is labeled type no. Rh 903 and its genitalia preparation 

 number is 1951-489. Note: One of the paratypes was dissected and 

 compared with the holotype by Mr. D. S. Fletcher and upon being 

 found identical was loaned to me for study. This compared specimen 

 is the one illustrated (figs. 7, 20g, 111, 112). 



Distribution. — 



British Guiana: Province of Essequibo, Caramang River. 



Material studied. — The only specimen available to me. 



The xeneta Group 



Uncus as in the janeirica and torqueor groups. The aedeagus is 

 gradually upcurved distaUy, ending with a doAvnward directed apex. 

 One species is assigned here.
