590 MR. H. H. DRUCE ON NEOTROPICAL [June 18, 



A dark anteciliaiy line. Cilia of both wings brownish, jmler at 

 the tips. 



Female. Ui^per side dark brown, the lobe orange-red and 

 prominent. Under side as in cj" . 



Expanse, c5' $ 11- inch. 



Hah. Oliapada Campo, Brazil (ZT. H. Smith), September- 

 November. 



Types, Mus. Godman. 



Mr. Smith obtained a good series. Mr, Godman's collection 

 contains a worn female which cei'tainly belongs to this species, 

 from Roraima, British Guiana [Whiteli/). 



Mr. E. D. Jones lias examples captured by himself at Castro, 

 Parana. 



Thecla tiasa. 



Thecla tiasa Hew. 111. Diur. Lep., Lycsen. p. 122, jdI. 48. figs. 

 229, 230. 



Stated by Hewitson to be in his own collection, but is not now 

 there, neither is it refei'red to by Mr. Kirby in his Catalogue of 

 the Hewitson Collection. Mr. Godman's collection contains a 

 single! 5 ? formerly in the Kaden Collection, but without locahty, 

 to which is affixed a label in Hewitson's handwriting " tiasa Hew.,'"' 

 probably this is the type. It agrees well with the figure. Mr. 

 Godman also possesses a J which was formerly in Bates' collection 

 labelled " tiasa" which is referred to in B. C.-A. ii. p. 52, in 

 describing Thecla ortalus. 



Thecla endera. 



Thecla endera Hew. 111. Diur. Lep., Lyc^n. p. Ill, pi. 42. figs 

 156, 157, d. 



Thecla thesiia Hew. 111. Diur. Lep., Lycfen. p. 122, pi. 48. 

 figs. 231, 232, $. 



Hewitson described the 6 from the British Museum collection 

 and the $ from his own collection, and an examination of the 

 two types convinces me that they are the two sexes of one species. 



The orange anal spot on upper side of hind wing varies con- 

 siderably, some specimens of both sexes in Mr. Godman's collection 

 being without it. 



Thecla buris, sp. n. (Plate XXXI Y. fig. 18.) 



Male. Much like T. genena Hew.*, but with the shining 

 greenish-purple areas of that species replaced by bright green, 

 and with an additional small black brand placed within and at 

 the end of the cell, on the fore wing above. Under side as in 

 T. genena. 



Female. Upper side brown, with an orange spot on the lobe ; 

 underside as in male but paler, and red areas on hind wing more 

 extensive. 



* Thecla genena Hew. 111. Diur. Lep. p. Ill, pi. 44. figs. 1S5, 186.
