1907.] BUTTERFLIES OF THE FAMILY LYC^NID^. 611 



Hah. Venezuela. 



Type, Miis. Godman. 



The type was formerly in the Kaden Collection and has a MS. 

 label attached to it, " perisus Moritz." Allied to T. denarius, 

 but distinguished by the absence of the cupreous on the fore wing 

 above and the pale ground-colour below. 



Thecla callao, sp. n. (Plate XXXVI. fig. 11.) 



Male. Upper side — Fore wing dull cupreous, with the costa, 

 apex, and outer margin pale brown. Hind wing pale brown, 

 slightly cvipreous over the abdominal and basal areas which 

 are thickly clothed with yellowish hairs. Cilia of both wings 

 long, pale brown and whitish towards anal angle of hind wing ; 

 tail brown, tipped with white. Underside — Fore wing dark 

 brownish grey, a very faint double mark at the end of the cell ; 

 a linear ultramedian russet-brown band, outwardly edged with 

 pale grey, reaching from the costa almost to the submedian 

 nervure. A submarginal row of minute pale grey crescent- shaped 

 lunules. A fine anteciliary dark line. Cilia dark grey. Hind 

 wing: a sinuous, median, russet-brown line outwardly edged with 

 pale grey, commencing on the costal margin and angled above the 

 lobe to the abdominal margin ; the ground-colour within this 

 linear band is very dark, and without it very pale, becoming 

 darker again towards the margin. A submarginal row of pale 

 lunules as in fore wing and a marginal row of dark shades. A small 

 black, red-crowned spot between the lower median nervules, 

 followed by a patch of bluish-grey and black scales. Lobe black, 

 crowned by a small red spot and a white dot. Abdomen dark 

 above, pale straw-colour below. 



Female. Upper side pale brown. Fore wing slightly cupreous 

 over discal areas. Hind wing with faint indication of a red spot 

 on margin between lower median nervules. Under side as in 

 male but paler. 



Expanse c? $ 1-gV inch. 



Hab. Callao, Peru {Walker).

Thecla eugatus, sp. n. 



Male. Upper side uniform dull olivaceous brown ; abdominal 

 areas of hind wing thickly clothed with cupreous hairs and a 

 small orange spot in the lobe. Cilia concolorous with wings but 

 whitish towards lobe. Under side : ground-colour uniform pale 

 olivaceous brown, with a common, nearly straight, distinct, rather 

 broad, linear dark orange band, outwardly bordered by a fine 

 black line and again by a clear white line and angled above the 

 lobe to the abdominal margin. A submarginal row of dark 

 shades to both wings. A lai-ge bright orange spot between the 

 lower median nervules on the hind wing surmounting a black
