BUTTERFLIES OF PARAGUAY, AND LA PLATA. 2038 
the deep fringe. HH. w. similar in colour and marking, but 
suffused with a warmer brown, especially on the outer half. 
Beneath, ground-colour lighter ; the bands resolved into defined 
black spots; each (and markedly each black marginal arch) 
bounding and inclosing a spot of white. This mode of white 
speckling characterizes, in some individuals, the upp. surf. 
also. Expanse 0°8 to 1:15 inch. Name from Heb. ezabua, 
“speckled.” (Jer. xii. 9). It seems near Arius, Cr. pl. xxxi. E. 
(See fig. 5). 
Lasaia Meris, Cr. Paraguay. Dec.to Feb. About puddles ; 
scarce. 
Lemonias Campestris, Bates (or very closely allied to this). 
Paraguay. In the open, near Asuncion. Nov. to Jan.; scarce. 
Anatole Glaphyra, Westw. Paraguay: on the banks of a 
brook near Asuncion, in Nov.: very rare. 
Nymphidiwm Arche, Hew. (or very closely allied to this).

example from Corrientes.

Thecla Polybe, Linn. Paraguay: Dec. Margins of woods 
near Asuncion ; scarce. 
T. Cimelium, mihi. H. w. two-tailed; anal angle produced 
into a minute point, but with no rounded lobe. F. w. with the 
shoulder strongly rounded. Above, we see the very counterpart 
of 7’. Polibetes, Cr. (pl. 341), or, yet more exactly, of T. Syncellus. 
Cr. (pl. 334), save that the black spot in the cell is small, round, 
and surrounded by a pale ring: the intense blue hue has the 
same refulgent lustre. Below, it is very different from either : 
ground warm fuscous; f. w. with three transverse bands of 
blackish, of which the second dilates in its middle into a broad 
oval patch: the third is short, and nearly apical. In the h. w. the 
same bands are recognised, but extending all across, and much 
more scattered and broken by the copious aspersion of fuscous 
scales: an undefined angled patch of dull green at the anal 
angle. What I suppose to be the female has the blue less 
lustrous, and the black margin much broader, so as, in the f. w. 
to include, and so destroy, the spot with its ring. Exp. 1'2inch. 
Examples male and female are in my cabinet. The name 
alludes to the gem-like beauty of the male. Paraguay ; in woods; 
Dec. to Feb.: scarce. (See fig. 2).
