CYBDELIS.

careful examination of the limited number of specimens at my disposal has led me to doubt whether there is sufficient 

 ground for their separation, and I therefore leave the two groups united, at least until further observations may enable 

 me to arrive at more definite conclusions. In this group the cell of the anterior wings is open, and the outer margin 

 is nearly straight; the lower surface of the posterior wings, which in the first section is marbled with various shades 

 of brown and fuscous, is fawn-coloured, and bears two nearly circular marks before the middle, and two beyond the 

 middle, of the wing ; the outer margin is marked with a very zigzag black line. I am only acquainted with two 

 species of this section, the species figured, and one as yet undescribed, for which T would propose the name of Cy. 

 Bacchis. This species has the upper surface black, glossed at the base of the anterior wings, and over the whole disc 

 of the posterior, with brilliant blue ; the anterior wings have an elongate transverse white patch between the cell and the 

 apex, and a small rounded spot nearer to the apex. 



This genus occurs from Mexico to the southern parts of Brazil. Of its habits nothing is recorded.
