1907.] BUTTERFLIES OF THE FAMILY LYC.ENID.E. 619 



Thecla CELMUS. 



Papilio celmus Cr. Pap. Exot. iv. pi. 55. figs. G, H. 

 Tmolus jjereza Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1877, p. 140. 

 Di'. Butler's type in the British Museum does not cliifei- in any 

 way from Cramer's insect. 



Thecla emendatus, sp. n. (Plate XXXVI. fig. 20.) 



Mcde. Allied to T. carnica Hew.* Upper side lighter and 

 brighter blue, apex of fore wing broadly and evenly black ; costa 

 and apex of hind wing less broadly black than in T. carnica. 

 Under side as in T. carnica, with the white marginal shades 

 somewhat more prominent. 



Expanse ^V inch. 



Hah. Rio Juntas, Bolivia, 3000 feet {Garlejiii). 



Type, Mus. Druce. 



Also in the British Museum from Bolivia (Crowley Bequest). 

 Distinguished at once by its broad black apex. It is also much 

 like T. seudiga Hew.f on the under side, but differs above. 



Thecla dic^ea. 



Thecla diccea Hew. 111. Diur. Lep. p. 179, pi. 70. figs. 531, 532 

 (1874). 



Thecla farmina Schaus, P. U.S. Xat. Mus. vol. xxiv. p. 421 

 (1902). 



Hab. Castro, Parana, Brazil [E. D. Jones). 



Mr. Jones has lent me a co-type of Mr. Schaus's insect, which 

 I quite fail to distingu.ish from Hewitson's type in the British 

 Museum. Mr. Schaus describes a female ; Hewitson a male. If 

 both are correct, there is no difference between the sexes. 

 Hewitson does not give a locality. 



Thecla calchinia. 



Thecla calchinia Hew. Descr. of Thecla, p, 21 (1868); 111. Diur 

 Lep. p. 145, pi. 57. figs. 359, 360. 



Male. Upper side uniform dull brown, with a dark marginal 

 spot on hind wing between lower median nervules crowned with 

 dull red. 



Hab. Amazons, Ega and Para (Bates) ; British Guiana, Roraima 

 (Whitehy). Mus. Godman. 



In the male specimen from British Guiana i"eferred to above 

 the blue areas are rather less extensive and less violaceous. 



Thecla dolium, sp. n. 



Male. Much like T. fahaUa^ew.% Upper side : basal half of 

 fore wdng and whole of hind wing (excepting costal margin which 

 is narrowly greyish brown) dull piu'plish blue, brilliant in some 



* Thecla carnica Hew. 111. Diur. Lep. p. 143, pi. 57. fig. 352 (1873).
