0.44-0.52 (mean 0.49), subzonal 0.44-0.54 (mean 0.49); 
breadth (in lateral view) at zone 0.16, proximad 0,12; penis 
mean 0.85. Furca 0.37. Falx 0.5 by 0.07 to 0.55 by 0.1 (mean 
0.52 by 0.08) ; uncus lobe 0.5 by 0.045 to 0.55 by 0.055 (mean 
0.52 by 0.05). Valve 0.54 by 0.39 to 0.55 by 0.4 (mean 0.54 
by 0.4). 
It is possible that individuals or broods or racially constant 
forms of titicaca with a complete underside forewing set of 
(seven) II macules and (seven) split I macules exist somewhere 
in the Andes. The general tendency, however, is to complete 
obsolescence (Staudinger selected for his figure of “ Lyccena 
speciosa ” an individual with still visible I RM and MJ.I and 
M 2 II; Weymer’s only fresh specimen had none). The narrow 
and pointed (almost tineoid) wing-shape is found elsewhere 
among Plebejince of great altitudes (e.g. in a Himalayan form 
of Albulina orbitulus Prun.). In the hindwing (see fig. 1), the 
termen strongly recedes (below vein M 2 ) from scale line 85 to 
50 (at vein 2 A) . The I macules are obsolescent, except the CUi 
praeterminal mark which is distinctly pigmented in some speci- 
mens. The II macule is weakly pigmented (except marginally, 
especially along the outer edge in most specimens) from Sc to 
cell Mo (between, roughly, scale lines 30-40, 35-50, 50-60, 
50-60), fairly strongly (with very strong edges) from M 3 to 
cell Cu 2 (35-60, 30-40, 30-35,) and is very weak in 1A and 
2A. The III macule is weakly pigmented (except the proximal 
edge) in Sc (0-20) and fairly strongly (with still stronger edges) 
in Cu 2 (10-20). The I discoidal RM (30-35) is very weak 
while the II one (R 12-2 5 + M 5-25) is fairly strong (with still 
stronger edges). All the macules except the anal ones and the 
Cux praeterminal mark (60-65) fill the transverse breadth of the 
interspace (forming, if viewed from the termen a capital omega 
in the case of the II series, and a somewhat similar design in the 
case of Sc III, II RM, Cu 2 III) and are squarish, or of a roughly 
triangular shape if extending to 15 or more scale lines (along 
the upper vein of the cell as Sc III and Cu x II do, or along the 
lower one as II M and R s II do). I give these scanty notes and 
a figure, since no intelligible description of the species exists. * 1 
where dwarfs from Cyprus approach my largest titicaca (length of fore wing 
8.5 mm.) in wing span (though of course the wings remain always much fuller 
than in Parachilades ) , the lobe is at least twice smaller than in the latter.
