1907.] BUTTERFLIES OF THE FAMILY LYC^NID.E. 573 



T. dmno in the same way as T. cyhele G. & S.* differs from 

 typical T. 'inarsyas. 



Thecla trochus, sp. n. (Plate XXXI. fig. 7.) 



Male. Allied to T. eronos mihi f. Upper side brilliant shining 

 green, with the apex and outer margin of fore wing black. 

 Under side : ground-colour paler than in T. eronos, with the 

 metallic greenish-bkie suffusion confined more to the lower discal 

 areas in the fore wing ; the ulti-amedian line much shorter on 

 the fore wing, and with a distinct dark red, black-pupilled, sub- 

 marginal lunule between the lower median nervules on the hind 

 wing 



Expanse 1^\ inch. 



Hah. Rio Minero, Muzo, Colombia, 2500 feet {Wheeler). 



Type, Mus. Godman. 



Both T. eronos and T. trochus belong to a group which has not 

 been found in Central America, but in appearance are much like 

 T. heraclldes Godman & Salvin, but have however no tails and no 

 trace of a brand. I have figui'ed the type of T. eronos on 

 PI. XXXI. fig. 9. 



Thecla viresco, sp. n. 



Male. Allied to T. lisus Stoll J, and, like that species, has no 

 brand, but the upper side is a dark bi'illiant green and the borders 

 are wider and less distinctly abrupt. On the under side the 

 markings are much the same, but the whole of the fore wing is 

 suffused with brilliant opalescent green excepting towards the 

 apex, and the ultramedian line is almost obsolete. The under 

 side of the abdomen is pale straw-coloxir. 



Expanse l^^Q— If inch. 



Hab. Maranham. 



Type, Mus. Godman. 



I have compared this and the following species to T. lisus, but, 

 although the markings are much the same, they present a more 

 robust appeaiance. 



Thecla photeinos, sp. n. (Plate XXXI, fig. 8.) 



Male. Allied to T. viresco mihi, but upper side brilliant shining 

 indigo-blue and fore wing below opalescent blue in place of green. 

 Expanse If inch, 



Hab. Quonga, British Guiana (H. Whitely). 

 Type, Mus. Godman. 



Thecla crines, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. figs. 1 J , 2 $ .) 



Male. Upper side : shining purple-blue, colour of T. paphlagon 

 Feld, Fore wing : apex and cilia narrowly black, a square brown 

 band occupying the further end of the cell. Hind wing : the
