NO. 3552 GENUS CALYCOPIS — ^FIELD 25 



drusilla. Lateral lobe of uncus with distal margin slightly concave 

 and lower margin slightly concave near base; with upper and lower 

 distal angles not greatly produced, lower angle less produced than 

 in drusilla and vitruvla; inner surface of gnathos with pointed carina. 

 Eighth tergite (fig. 20m) similar to drusilla, somewhat more cordate 

 in shape. 



Female. — Unknown. 



Type-locality. — Belem ("Pard"), State of Para, Brazil. 



Additional type data. — This was described from both sexes from 

 "Brazil, the Amazon (Para), and New Granada" and the total 

 number of specimens in the series was not stated in the original 

 description. According to Mr. D. S. Fletcher of the British Museum 

 (Natural History) "there are eight specimens from Hewitson's 

 original series in the collection" (in Utt.). A study of these specimens 

 reveals that there are three or possibly four species in addition to 

 vibulena in this series. Two males are partunda, one male and two 

 females are janeirica, one male is lerbela and the male with missing 

 abdomen is probably susanna. Only one of these vibulena specimens 

 was given a type number and I designate this specimen the lee to type. 

 It is labeled "Para, Brazil" and "BM Type No. Rh. 912." Mr. 

 Fletcher dissected this lectotype and compared with it a topotype 

 which was then lent to me. This compared topotype is the basis for 

 the identification of C. vibulena in this paper and is the one illustrated 

 (figs. 12, 20m, 93, 94). 



Remarks. — Three of the five figures included by Hewitson in his 

 original description (1877) are of species other than vibulena as fol- 

 lows: figure 599 is of a male C. janeirica, figure 600 is of a male C. 

 lerbela and figure 602 is of a female, probably C. janeirica although it 

 looks more like female susanna. 



Distribution. — Known only from the State of Para in Brazil. 



Brazil: State of Pard, Belem, Igarap^-Agu. 



MATERLA.L STUDIED, — Fivc malcs, including their genitalia.

Male (figs. 109, 110). — Wings above dull metallic bluish purple 

 in color, similar to those of C. vibulena, with the dark borders on 

 costal and outer margins more narrow, with brilliant blue color of 

 forewing extending over base, below the cell and vein Cu2 and with 

 a streak of blue in lower half of the cell. Wings below similar to
