1 8 DIUENAL LEPIDOPTEEA. 



When I described this species, I could not believe that Donovan's figure was meant to 

 represent it. Since then I have seen Jones's drawing, which has satisfied me that Honorius 

 and Teresa are one.

 Epitola Ceraunia, Hewitson, Entom. Month. Mag. x. p. 149 (1S73). 



Upperside. Male dark brown. Anterior wing slightly irrorated with blue, elongate at 

 the apex : the discal spot common in Thecla oblong and placed upon the second branch of the 

 median nervure. Posterior wing irrorated with blue, chiefly beyond the middle. 



Underside. Anterior wing dark brown, with two small spots at the end of the cell 

 (one within it) and a submarginal series of seven large spots, all white. Posterior wing 

 white, with a large triangular spot at the base, a smaller spot near the apex, and the outer 

 margin, which is broad, glossy rufous-brown. 



Female. Upperside dark rufous-brown, with two white spots at the end of the cell (one 

 within it), a spot near the costal margin beyond its middle, and a spot between the second 

 and third median nervules, a large space of cerulean blue between the median and submedian 

 nervules and the inner margin. Posterior wing cerulean blue, with the margins broadly 

 brown. The underside does not differ from the male. 



Exp. 1 T V inch. 



In the Collections of W. C. Hewitson and P. Mabille, from West Africa (Rutherford).

Epitola Belli, Hewitson, Annals $■ Mag. of Nat. Hist. (4) xiii. p. 382 (1874). 



Upperside. Male brilliant morpho-blue. Anterior wing with the costal margin, which 

 is broad and marked at its middle by a trifid blue spot, and the apical half black. Posterior 

 wing with the costal margin brown : the outer margin black, intersecting the blue at the 

 nervures. 



Underside. Anterior wing dark brown : two white spots (one minute) within the cell, 

 a blue line at the end of the cell, and a transverse band of six white spots near the middle, 

 the apex, and the whole of the posterior wing brassy brown. 



Exp. 2f* ff inch. 



In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson, from West Africa. Taken by Captain Bell 

 between Mansu and the river Prah. 



It seemed to me quite improbable that the vague description given by Fabricius could 

 apply to this species, until I had seen Jones's drawing.
