Cramer's insect, has the discal areas of the fore-wing above, 

 adjoining the large black patch, suffused with purple when 

 seen in some lights. 



Cramer records it from Surinam, which, if correct, seems 

 to point to a very extended range. 



Hewitson wrote that he was hoping to receive it from 

 Cayenne, but he never obtained a specimen. 



It is perhaps allied to T. undulata, Hew,,* and T. husa, 

 G. and S.,j" but the anal area is less pronounced, and the 

 tail is less spatulate than in either of these species.

$ . Upper-side differs from tlie typical form by the whole of the 

 fore-wing being suffused with brilliant shining blue and the hind- 

 wing with grey blue, thus obliterating the white areas. Under-side 

 as typical form.

On a recent visit to Paris M. Dognin has kindly shown 

 me the types of the three Thcclas described by him, and I 

 find that two of them are identical with forms recently 

 described and figured by myself. The third, T.faga, is a 

 small brown insect which seems to me better placed in 

 the genus Scolitantides. We possess specimens of it from
