12. CALYCOPIS Scudder. 



Type : Rusticus armatus Poeas Hkhii. 



A genus of exquisite little butterflies with sharply defined markings, resem- 

 bling Uranotes in the want of a discal stigma upon the fore wings, it seems 

 in other particulars to have closer relations with Thecla. The antennae have 

 a rather short but fusiform club, much broader than the very slender stalk ; 

 the fore wings are rather broader than in Thecla and the hind wings, tailed as 

 in that genus, are not produced so much in their lower half as most of the 

 species of Thecla, in this respect resembling more the species of Thecla 

 placed nearest Uranotes in this list; the cell is more than half the length of 

 the fore wings in the male and slightly less than half the length in the female; 

 the first superior subcostal nervule arises as far out as the middle of the outer 

 two-thirds of the cell, even in the female ; the fore tibiae are nearly two-thirda 

 as long as the hind tibiae and the middle tibiae are of an exactly intermediate 

 length.
