THECLA. 103 



margins dark brown, rather broad : the discal spot dark brown near the base. Posterior wing 

 with two tails : the costal margin broadly rufous-brown : the outer margin dark brown, 

 narrow : the lobe black marked by a spot of scarlet. 



Underside dark brown. Both wings crossed near the middle by a band of black slightly 

 bordered outwardly with white, both with a submarginal brown band. Posterior wing with 

 two spots of scarlet at the anal angle : one between the tails marked at its base with black, the 

 other touching the lobe, which is black. 



Female like the male, except that it is rufous- and grey-brown on the 

 upperside, broadly brown at the costal and outer margins of the anterior wing, and that the 

 underside is rufous.

Cramer's figure, though no doubt intended to represent this species, is so little like it that 

 I have repeated the figure of the species here.
