434 Mr. Hamilton H. Druce on 



Cuzco, Peru, and La Paz, Bolivia. It has remarkably long 

 palpi, especially in the $, which are thickly clothed with 

 hairs, as noted by M. Dognin.

Hah. Peru. 



I have figured the type which is contained in Mr. God- 

 man's collection. Although allied to T. culminicola, Stand., 

 it is distinguished by the paler blue areas, the broader 

 brown margins and the plain cilia. This insect inhabits 

 very high altitudes.

 Hob. San Mateo, Peru. 



Type, Mus. Adams. 



Mr. Adams' specimen, a $ with a small pale brand at 

 the end of the cell of the fore-wing above, agrees well with 

 Staudinger's figure, and has very clearly defined black and 

 white chequered cilia to both wings on both surfaces.

Hah. Chanchamayo, Peru, 2,000-7,500 ft. 



Type, Mus. Adams. 



The ^ figured is larger, and of a darker shade of blue 

 than the $ described by me in P. Z. S., 1907, p. 594, and 

 has the black hairs along the submedian nervure of hind- 

 wing above, much as in Thecla ochus, G. and S.

Mr. Lathy has kindly lent me the type of his T. suh- 

 ohscura, which I find does not differ in any way from the 

 previously described T. piplea.
