interspaces ; of secondaries white, cut with brown at the ends of 

 the nervules. 



Under side ferruginous, the apical and costal area of pri- 

 maries, and all of secondaries, dusted with whitish scales, giving 

 a gray surface ; rest of primaries fulvous ; the black spots on the 

 fulvous area repeated, but elsewhere either indistinct or wanting : 

 on secondaries a row of fine points crosses the disk, but faint ; 

 the black spots not repeated. 



Female. — Expands 1.6 inch. Upper side as in male, the two 

 outer rows of spots on primaries distinct, the marginal being 

 rounded, and with a little fulvous on the outer side of each. On 

 the under side there is less gray, and the spots of both wings are 

 repeated, reduced.

LemOnias Cleis. 



Male. — Expands 1.6 inch. Upper side yellow or dead-leaf- 

 brown ; primaries have a sub-marginal row of indistinct dark 

 points ; an extra-discal row of crescent black spots ; a demi-row 

 at end of cell, forming a crenated line, on the basal side of 

 which the ground is suffused with black ; three rows between 

 middle of cell and base. Secondaries fulvous, over brown ground 

 on inner half the wing; near hind margin a row of small rounded 

 black spots, an extra-discal row of crenated black spots, a zigzag 

 row of crenated spots across disk, and other rows to base, much 

 as in primaries ; fringes dusky, with a little white in the median 

 interspaces and near apex ; of secondaries whitish, with brown 

 at the ends of the nervules. 



Under side pale ferruginous, the spots indistinctly repeated 

 in faint brown marks and points, except in inner margin of pri- 

 maries, where they are black. 



Female. — Same size. Upper side nearly as in the male, the 

 black area on costa of primaries more conspicuous. Under side

These two species Ares and C/eis belong to a group hith- 

 erto unrepresented in our fauna, the fore wings being long and 

 pointed, more triangular in shape than the Mormo group. 



Thecla Apama. 



Male. — Expands about i.i inch. Allied to Dumetoruin Bd. 

 "but marked on under side like Castalis Edw.; tailless. 



Upper side blackish-brown: primaries have an oval black 

 stigma ; fringes ashy-brown, near anal angle white next the 

 margin, the tip of the hairs brown, at the angle black. 



Under side of primaries yellow-brown, washed with golden 

 green over apical area and on costal margin ; on the disk a trans- 

 verse row of small spots confluent from costa to second median 

 interspace : these spots are made up of slender black marks, edged 

 outside by white, inside by brown or russet. Secondaries have a
