DESCRIPTIONS OF THREE NEW BUTTERFLIES. 
BY A. G. WEEKS, JR. 
Lasaia kennethi sp. nov. 
Habitat: Bolivia, two hundred miles north from Cochabamba. 
Expanse: 1.25 inches. 
Front and summit of head covered with steel-blue-colored hairs. Palpi 
gray. Eyes brown. Antennae nearly black, with white annulations at the 
base of each joint. Club nearly black, slightly tipped with fulvous. Thorax, 
above, presents the same color as wings, steel blue, with a suggestion of 
greenish; beneath, gray. Legs gray, somewhat darker on upperside. Abdo- 
men, same as thorax. 
Upper surface of wings steel blue with considerable lustre and a suggestion 
of greenish. The blackish markings are much less in evidence than on most 
species of this genus, being confined almost entirely to the tips of the fore wings 
and borders. 
Upper surface of fore wings: costa, of ground color; hind margin dentated, 
and with a black linear border, the border in interspaces edged with white ; 
inner margin without any border. Just within edge of hind margin is a row 
of interspacial black lines, extending from tip downward, and disappearing as 
they approach angle. At the tip they are somewhat suffused. Within this 
row,at' the tip, is a black dash running from costa across to the fifth subcostal 
nervule; giving the tip a generally black appearance. The discoidal space is 
crossed by a black line in centre of wing, and between this and border the 
interspaces have a mere suggestion of a black line.
