The, Butterjiies of Chile. 203 



This species was common at Baiios de Cauquenes in 

 December, in the Pemehue range in January, and down 

 south as far as Nahuelhuapi in February, practically at 

 all the localities where I found the last species. I have 

 figured a pair from San Martin, PL XII, figs. 7 ^ , 

 8 $. What I take to be a form of the same species is 

 found as far south as the Straits of Magellan, where it 

 is known as argijrodice, Stgr. Of tliis I have figured a 

 pair (PI. XII, figs. 9 ^, 10 $) taken by Walker at Punta 

 Arenas. These are probably if not certainly the same as 

 what Staudinger calls theodice, Bdv., of which he makes 

 demodice, Blanch., a synonym, but a large series are 

 necessary to understand the variation of this species. 



52. Tatochila theodice. 



Fieris theodice, Blanchard, t. c, p. 12, PI. I, fig. 1 a, h. 

 Tatochila hlancha.rdii, Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 

 1881, p. 472, PI. XXI, fig. 15. 



Lastly we have a sjDecies which is perhaps a second 

 brood of one or the other species usually identified with 

 theodice, Blanch. (7icc Bdv.) = Blanchardii, Butl. 



This is easily distinguished by the double bar at the 

 end of the cell, and extends from as far north as Islay in 

 Peru to about lat. 38°, where I took it at San Ignacio in 

 January. It seems to be common at Valparaiso, and is in 

 Mr. Godman's collection from Valdivia. Xanthod,ice, Lucas, 

 is another mountain species which is common in Ecuador 

 and Bolivia, but has not been found in Chile, though 

 Mabille figures under this name in the Miss, du Cap. 

 Horn. Lep., PI. I, fig. 1, a species which appears to me 

 very near argyrodice, Stgr. 



PAPILIONID^. 



53. Pajpilio Mas. 



F. Mas, Roger, Bull. Soc. Linn. Bord., i (1826). 

 I saw this in the Botanical Gardens at Santiago, but 

 not elsewhere, though Edmonds records it as common at 

 Valparaiso in successive broods from October to June. 



HESFEEIIDM. 



54. Hespcrid fusca. (Plate XIII, figs. 1 ^, 2 $.) 

 H.fusca, Reed, Mon. Marip. Chil., p. 81 (1877). 



This was common near Lolco in one place at the 

 confluence of the Lolco Avith the Biobio river at about 2500
