36 Psyche [March-June 
trast to the rather Plebejus scepiolus- like wing of chilensis a 
remarkable homoptic or mimetic resemblance to Itylos and 
especially to Parachilades owing to a combination of seven 
characters: 1. enlarged, more or less cordate shape of median 
and posterior II macules; 2. their transverse development and 
connection; 3. the oblique line into which II macules M 2 to 2 A 
fall; 4. the blurred pigmentation; 5. the weakness of the I 
macule system; 6. the fusion of distal parts of halos with proxi- 
mal cretules; and 7. the great development of coarse greyish 
white scales. 
Scolitantides plumb ea Butler 1881 (Trans. Ent. Soc. 1881:486, 
“Chile”) which is possibly the same as Lyccena patago Mabille 
1889 (Nouv. Arch. Mus. Paris 1:143-144 “Punta-Arena” pi. 10, 
fig. 13,2) belongs to a different subfamily, being structurally 
the only representative of Glaucopsychince in S. America. 
Scolitantides andina Calvert 1894 (An. Univ. Chile 34:832, 
“Condes above Santiago”; Elwes 1903 Trans. Ent. Soc. Lon- 
don 1903:288-289) may prove to be a synonym of plumbea too.

Type and only species known: Itylos inconspicua Draudt 
1921, (in Seitz, Macrolep. World 5:822, “Cuzco, Peru,” pi. 144, 
m). 
One male investigated: prep. 607 “Cuzco, Peru, 3500 m. alt., 
leg. Fassl,” ex coll. W. P. Comstock, [ex coll. Staudinger-Bang 
Haas, “ vapa Stgr”], Amer. Mus. Nat. Hist. 
Extremely close to Lycceides , in the falx, furca and valve, and 
considered here as retaining an ancestral aspect of that genus. 
^Edeagus resembling Pseudothecla , thickish subzonally, very 
slightly incurved, just above 0.8 long; differing from Lycoeides 
in the suprazonal portion being twice shorter than the subzonal 
one and in the higher (at about 0.1 above zone), and thus 
shorter, vesical opening (the lower point of which is at the zone 
in Lycceides). Vesica unarmed; suprazonal sheath tapering to 
a point ventrally. Furca very large, equal in length to the 
sedeagus, larger than in Lycceides (especially in relation to the 
other parts of the armature, less so in absolute size). No defi- 
nite sagum but traces of a membrane between furca and sub- 
zonal sheath. Falx of the “plain type” with an outline nicely
