beautiful species. Tliey are in fine condition. It is a much 

 larger insect than T. 'phydela, and in colour it resembles. 

 T. gibherosa Hew. 



Thecla amplitudo, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig 6.) 



Mcde. Difiers only from T. cegides Feld. in the black borders 

 being about half as wide and in the blue being of a decided 

 violaceous hue. 



Expanse 14 inch. 



Hah. St. Jago, Ecuador {Buckley). 



Type, Mus. Godman. 



There are three males in Mr. Godman's collection. It doubt- 

 less takes the place of the Colombian T. cegides in Ecuador. 



Thecla bama, sp. n. (Plate XXXII. fig. 3.) 



Male. Upper side : uniform brilliant shining blue, with the 

 costa, apex, and outer margins black. Under side rich chestnut- 

 brown, shading to pale greyish along the inner margin of fore 

 wing. A distinct inwardly-black-bordered white line ci-osses the 

 fore wing obliquely about the middle from the costa to the lower 

 median nervule. There is a similar line on the hind wing much 

 angled below the centre and then running to the anal margin ; 

 beyond this is a submarginal line composed of whitish lunules 

 outwardly bordered with black. At the anal angle there is a 

 small black spot above which are dusted grey scales. Cilia 

 reddish brown on both surfaces, whitish at anal angle where they 

 ap]3ear to be tipped with black. 



Expanse 1| inch. 



Hab. Rio Minero, Muzo, Colombia, 2500 feet {Wieeler). 



Type, Mus. Godman. 



Perhaps allied to T. cyda G.& S.*, but is quite different below. 

 It is without a brand. 



Thecla paupeea. 



Pseudolyccena pauper a Felder, Reise Nov., Lep. ii. pi 31 

 fig. 15,$. 



Hah. Bogota, Colombia [Felder d- B.M.). 



The British Museum Collection contains a pair ( J $ ) of this 

 rare species, which are the only examples I have seen. 



The upper side of the male is a uniform dark shining green, 

 with narrow black margins and without any dark patch of scales 

 or brand on the fore wing. On the under side the dark bands 

 are rather narrower and less distinct than in the female, which is 

 described and well figured by Eelder. 



Thecla haerietta.
