productions at the ends of veins 4, 3 and 2 ; no tails. Murray's genus Satsumn, the 

 type of which is Lycsena ferrea, Butler, from Japan, with which Thecla leechl, de 

 Niceville, is absolutely congeneric, differs so very little from the type of Callophrys in 

 structure and character, that we do not think it advisable to separate them. 

 Type, Papilio ruhi, Linnaeus.
