142 DIUENAL LEPIDOPTERA. 



238. Thecla Adria, Hewitson. Plate LVI. 6 figs. 345, 346. 



Upperside. Male. — Rufous-brown. Anterior wing with the cliscal spot dark brown, small. 

 Posterior wing with two tails : the inner margin (which is broad) and a line above the tail white. 



Underside white. Anterior wing clouded with grey-brown at the middle : a broad spot 

 at the end of the cell and an undulated band at the middle, broken at the median nervure, 

 carmine : a submarginal band of lunular brown spots, and near the apex some paler spots. 

 Posterior wing crossed near the base by four spots, at the middle by a band of which the spot 

 at the end of the cell forms part, a spot at the apex, a spot at the anal angle, a spot between 

 the tails and the outer margin, all carmine : two submarginal bands of lunular brown spots.

This may, I think, be only another variety of Phrutus or Megacles. 



239. Thecla Megacles.

It is, I think, very probable that the figure of P. Megacles is intended to represent the insect 

 which I have just described as T. Adria. Cramer's figure, however, is so little like it, that, as 

 no other entomologist may probably be of the same opinion, I have thought it best to regard 

 them as distinct species. 



240. Thecla Cleon. Plate LVI. d figs. 347, 348, 349. 



Papilio Cleon, Fabrieius, Si/st. Ent. p. 522. 

 Tmolus Cleon, Butler, Fabr. Lep. pi. 2. figs. 4, 6. 



Upperside. Male. — Dark brown. Posterior wing with two tails : dull cerulean blue, the 

 apex broadly brown : the lobe orange : two black spots at the base of the tails : a submarginal 

 white line : the margin black. 



Underside rufous, pale. Both wings with a line at the end of the cell : both of them 

 white towards the outer margin. Anterior wing crossed beyond the middle by a broad regular 

 band of red-brown bordered outwardly with white : a band of brown near the outer margin, 

 and a series of pale brown submarginal spots. Posterior wing crossed at the middle by a con- 

 tinuous but irregular band of red-brown bordered outwardly with black and white : the lobe 

 and a spot between the tails orange, each marked by a black spot.

Figure 347 agrees with the Fabrieian type in the Banksian Collection at the British 

 Museum. The variety (figure 349) differs from it in having some blue on the costal margin 

 on the upperside of the anterior wing, and in being more clouded with brown on the underside.
