A second syntype from Brazil belongs to C. xeneta devia. A topotypic 

 male specimen apparently from the type lot was dissected and com- 

 pared with the lectotype by Mr. D. S. Fletcher and upon being found 

 identical was sent to me for study. This specimen is the basis for my 

 identification of xeneta. 



Distribution. — Guaala south into Costa Rica. 



Guatemala: Department of Izabal, Cayuga (May). Nicaragua: Depart- 

 ment of Chontales. Costa Rica: Province of Lim6n, La Florida (500 ft., March) , 

 GudpUes (800 ft., May). 



Material studied. — Fifteen males, including their genitalia. 



Calycopis xeneta devia (Moschler) 



Figures 117, 118 



Thecla devia Moschler, 1883, Verh. Kais.-Konigl. Zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, vol. 32, 

 p. 311, pi. 17, fig. 7. 



Male (figs. 117, 118). — This subspecies differs from C. xeneta xeneta 

 as described above. Specimens from Peru have the ground color of 

 wings below sHghtly paler than specimens from other areas and have 

 red markings faintly indicated on hindwings. These specimens are 

 not here considered distinct enough to warrant separation. 



Length of fore wing 9-13 mm. 



Male genitaha, not illustrated, not differing at all from some speci- 

 mens of C. xeneta xeneta and differing from other specimens of that 

 subspecies in having lateral elements of uncus in dorsal view slightly 

 more produced and farther apart, forming a wider dorsal notch. 



Type-locality. — "Surinam." 



Additional type data. — Described from a single male, the holo- 

 type, and according to the original description, in the collection of the 

 "Museum Stuttgart." I have no additional information on the type 

 specimen; however, the original figure, original description, and type- 

 locality indicate that devia is the subspecies of xeneta here described. 



Distribution. — The Guianas south and west through Brazil to 

 Peru and Paraguay. 



French Guiana: Colony of Guyana, Cayene, Penintential Territory, St. Jean 

 (Maroni River). British Guiana: Province of Essequibo, Kamakusa (Novem- 

 ber). Brazil: State of Pard, Igarape-Agu. Peru: Department of Loreto, 

 Achinamiza (January). Paraguay: Villarica, Sapucai. 



Material studied. — Twelve males, including their genitaha. 



The cecrops Group 



Uncus in lateral view undulate on ventral margin; aedeagus and 

 harpes as in the janeirica group. Two species are assigned to this 

 group.
