804 THECLA. By Dr. M. Deaudt. 



vemi. Th. vena Drc. (159 d) differs from the preceding by orange-red fringes, beneath by a straighter post- 



discal band of the forewing. North West Peru. 

 inguiiudis. Th. sanguinalis Burm. is above quite grey-brown, similar to the following, without any taUs with 



a slightly extended anal angle of the hindwing and whitish-dotted fringes; the under surface is whitish, with 

 brown clouds and with small spots and bands of carmine. Argentina, Paraguay. 



gamma. Th. gamma Druce (159 d) is similarly dull grey-brown, at the proximal margin of the forewing and 



in the larger jDroximal half of the hindwing dull grej^-blue with orange-red fringes. Beneath brown, in the 

 marginal area of the forewing whitish, strewn with carmine, with a white discal streak; the hindwings exhibit 

 a white median band and at the costal base a small spot bordered with red, in the shape of a y ; marginal half 

 likewise strewn ^^-ith red. Ai'gentina. 

 megacles. Th. megacles Cr. (= adria Heiu.) (159 d). Above black-brown with a small darker scent-spot; 



the proximal margin of the hindwing is white, so is a marginal line before the anal region. In the $ the proximal 

 margin of the forewing and the whole hindwing are of a pm'e white, the marking beneath showing slightly 

 through. Beneath white, the forewing in the middle clouded brown-grey, with carmine markings like in zilda 

 (159 c), but besides with 4 red, small basal spots on the hindwing. Venezuela, Sm-inam, Amazon. 



coronta. Th. coronta Hew. (159 d) is a very much larger species. Above black-brown with a large black scent- 



spot in the cell, white at the proximal margin of the forewing and in the disc of the hindwing there is a dull 

 blue. Beneath brownish-grey, at the basal half darker, at the costal angle of the hind'wing whitish. Both wings 

 exhibit red discal streaks, behind them a band of interrupted, small red spots, distally bordered with white, 

 on the hindwing besides with 5 or 6 small red basal spots; small brown submarginal spots are on both sides 

 bordered with white; anal spots orange. Mexico to Guiana. 



maevia. Th. maevia Gochn. <£• Salv. (159 c) is very similar, much smaller, of a duller bluish-grey, the abdomen 



above reddish-yellow. Beneath dark grey, uniformly strewn with a light grey, otherwise almost the same markings. 

 Mexico to Costa Rica. 



112. Una- Group. 



una. Th. una Hew. (= lenis Capr.) (159 d). Above grey-brown, in the ^ with a narrow bluish inner- 



marginal stripe of the forewing and a white inner-marginal half of the hindwing, with a white marginal line 

 and a black spot at the anal angle, the forewings exhibit an indistinctly darker cell-spot, the $ is on the forewing 

 more extensively bluish as far as up to the cell or even into it; hindwing all white with a brownish-grey costal 

 margin and small black spots in front of the anal margin. Beneath white, the scheme of markings similar to 

 hicetas (159 c), but the small spots are composed of brown double streaks which are mostly filled uj) with some 

 brownish. Brazil, Colombia, Venezuela. 

 furcifei: Th. furcifer Drc. is closely allied and above just the same, on the hindwings only colom-ed somewhat 



more greyish-blue. Beneath light grey, with bands and spots bordered with white and arranged like in una, 

 which, however, are but slightly darker than the ground. The small, red-yellow anal spots are absent alto- 

 gether. Esptritu Santo. 

 scopas. Th. scopas Gochn. & Salv. (159 d). Above coloured like U7ia, beneath chalky-white with irregular, 



light orange macular bands, being doubly bordered with black like in ima. The distal inargin and submarginal 

 lunae darker brownish-grey, the two anal spots rather large, red-yellow, with black pupils. Mexico, Nicaragua. 



113. Cleon- Group. 



clean. Th. cleon F. (= ecbatana Hew.) (159 d). Forewing above dark brown, in the basal half of the proxi- 



mal margin light violet-blue like the hindwing, with white hair on the proximal margin. Beneath light brown, 

 in the basal area mostly intensely darkened and clouded in grey; both wings exhibit dark cell-end streaks 

 distally bordered hy a light tinge. Postdiscal bands broad, dark red-brown, on both sides bordered with blackish, 

 behind it bordered with \^'hitish, projecting below the costal margin on the hindwing, receding m the angle 

 of the lower radial vein and distally mostly with intensely brown-grey clouds. The orange-red anal spots 

 distinct, between them a spot strewn with white. The underside is rather variable in the colour and width of 

 the postdiscal bands. Trinidad, Amazon, BrazU. 

 picenlia. Th. picentia Hew. (= rubifer Drc.) (159 e) is above unicolorously brown with a reddish spot in 



the anal lobe. Beneath very much like cfeo?;., the (J likewise darkened in the basal part, particularly on the 

 hindwing. The postdiscal band of the hindwing is particularly in the $ very broad, in the cj narrower and 

 distally clouded much more intensely, almost in a blackish brown; the submarginal markings are the same. 

 In the (J the hindhead and forehead, as well as the extreme costal base of the forewing are red. The type 

 came from Tapajos, the q having been denoted as rubifer in case of specific difference originates from Bogota, 

 before me there is a couple from the Museu Paulista. 



socm. Th. socia Hew. (159 c) is larger than cleon, above coloured the same, but besides with a small 



grey scent-spot at the cell-end. Beneath similarly marked as in the preceding, the postdiscal band of the 

 hindwing projecting almost quadrangularly between the upper radial veins; the marginal area is profusely 

 strewn with whitish, at the costal angle there is a small red sjDot. BrazU. 



madic. Th. madie TFeeil-s is said to resemble cleo7i (159 d); above the same, only more mouse-coloured, 



instead of dark brown. Beneath light mouse-coloured, likewise with a lighter marginal area and similar post-
