Lycoenidce of Bahamas 
53 
I have seen but two Bahaman specimens, both badly worn. 
Insofar as can be determined, they do not differ from either 
Floridian or Cuban specimens. 
Distribution . Great Abaco Island (Mathiew’s Point, July 9, 
1904). Also from Cuba and Florida. 
Genus Strymon Hiibner 
2. Strymon martialis Herr.-Schaff. 
Thecla martialis Herrich-Schaffer, 1864, p. 164. 
Strymon martialis: Bates, 1935, p. 192. 
This species is allied to the following, but the blue on the 
upper surface will at once distinguish it. 
Distribution . New Providence Island (Mar. 12, 1934, Ar- 
mour Exp.); Andros Island (Mangrove Cay, Aug. 1, 1904, 
O. Bryant); Cat Island (Arthurs Town, July 21, 1935, W. J. 
Clench); Conception Island (Feb. 12, 1934, Armour Exp.); 
Great Inagua Island (Feb. 1934, Armour Exp.). 
S. martialis is also reported from Florida and Cuba. Bates’ 
statement that it is found in “most parts of the West Indies” 
is open to question. 
3. Strymon acis armouri, new subspecies 
upperside : 
Both sexes brownish black. Fore wing in the female with a 
rather indefinite central patch of jet black. Male with a more 
definite and smaller central patch of the same color, in this 
case the scent pad, located on the outer end of the cell. Hind 
wing with the anal lobe orange, capped by a thick, short white 
bar. Between the lobe and the lower tail is a second, thinner, 
white bar, and between the two tails is a third. Basal to the 
second of these bars is a small, frequently obsolete, patch of 
white scales. Basal to the third bar is a patch of orange scales. 
The tail at Cui is the shorter, as is customary in the genus, 
and both that and the one at Cu 2 are black, tipped with white. 
Fringe of both wings white, except at the anal lobe and the 
costal part of the outer margin of the hind wing which are 
brown. 
underside: 
Both sexes similar. Ground color grayish tan, rather dark. 
Fore wing crossed by a diagonal, rather thin, straight white
