4 ILLUSTRATIONS OF UKFIGURED LEPEDOPTERA. 



Under side of hind wing light mouse color. A dark line, dusted with tawny 

 and bordered by a white thread on its outer side, extends from centre of costs 

 to centre of second submedian nervule, then turning upwards to centre of inner 

 margin. This line is jagged, with angles in each interspace, and forms a con- 

 tinuation of the line on the fore wing, but more fully developed. There is a 

 tawny spot at anal angle, blackish at angle. In interspaces, between the two 

 tails, is another spot of hghter shade. The white marginal thread of the upper 

 surface is repeated. The light hind marginal area of under side of fore wing is 

 continued on hind wing. 



The hind margins have a slight fringe of the ground color. 



This species could not be found in the larger collections in this 

 country, nor in the collection of Druce, the British Museum, etc. It 

 resembles T. cleon Fabr.

 {Plate III, Figure 2.) 

 Habitat: Suapure, Venezuela. Expanse : .80 inch. 



Head, thorax, and abdomen nearly black above, with a few light blue hairs ; 

 beneath, gray. Palpi white. Antennae black, with indistinct white annulations 

 at base of each joint. Club above, black ; below, tawny. Legs gray. 



Upper side of fore wing nearly black. The space within a line drawn from a 

 point on inner margin just inside lower angle up to centre of median nervure 

 and thence to base is light blue. 



Upper side of hind wing light blue at base, nearly white as it approaches costa 

 and hind margin. There is a blackish border along costa, extending half way 

 down hind margin. At end of submedian nervule is a delicate thread-like tail, 

 one-eighth of an inch long, tipped with white. Hind margin has a delicate 

 gray fringe. The edge of hind margin has a fine whitish line, inside of which 

 is a black thread. The submedian interspaces show the dark interspacial 

 markings of the under side. Inner margin white. 



Under side of fore wing grayish white, dusted with brown towards base. 

 One-sixteenth of an inch within hind margin is a wavy line of blackish brown 

 extending down to inner margin. The space between this and the margin is 

 light gray, with prominent interspacial triangular spots of blackish brown, one- 

 sixteenth of an inch within this line is another line extending from costa down 

 to second submedian nervule, the intermediate space being nearly white. There 

 is another similar line running across the end of the discoidal space only. From 

 this line the dusting of darker color increases toward the base. 



Under side of hind wing the same ground color. At centre of costa is a lu-
