101. Thecla Edwardsii, Saund. 



Expanse of wings 1.1 inches. 



Upper surface pale wood-brown, the male with the 

 usual subcostal sex-mark, hind wings with one short tail 

 and an angle in place of the second tail ; two faint black- 

 ish spots on the hind wings, one between the tail and the 

 angle, and the other towards the anal angle, faint orange 

 crescents before each. 



Under side paler than the upper, two rows of spots 

 across each wing as in the lines of the preceding species, 

 but here they are shorter, with spaces between. The spots 

 of the inner row, except the last two on the hind wings, 

 are oblong and oval, each surrounded with white, the last 

 two longer than the others. The outer row is a series 

 of blackish crescents, edged on the inner side with white, 

 on the outside with orange, fading out towards the apex 

 of the fore wings, more prominent at the anal portion 

 of the hind wings ; the usual blue patch between the 

 next to the last and the margin, and the two black spots 

 of the other species. At the end of the discal cell a spot 

 similar to the spots of the inner row.
