In colour it resembles T. coruscans and T. nitida, but differs from both in the arrangement of the spots of the under surface. 21. THAROPS ISTHMICA. d • Exp. 1*5 in. Allied to T. splendida, but smaller, and the anal angle of the secondaries less produced : beneath the ground-colour is nearly uniformly sprinkled with pinkish scales, the central area of both wings in T. splendida being decidedly whiter; there are no conspicuous spots at the apical and anal angles of the secondaries, and the spot on the costa is much smaller. Hab. Veragua, Calobre (Arce). Mus. nostr. 22. LEMONIAS PELARGE. d • Exp. 1*33 in. Primaries, base, and narrow outer margin of secondaries dark brown; some indistinct blue spots near the apex of the primaries ; a spot near the anal angle of the primaries and the inner area of the secondaries reddish orange : beneath grey sprinkled with dark scales; proximal half of both wings with distinct black spots; outer marginal area of both wings darker, variegated with lighter marks, especially at the apical angle of both wings and the anal angle of the primaries. Hab. Guatemala, Polochic valley (H. Hague). Mus. nostr. Obs. Allied to L. parthaon, in which the blue spots of the primaries are very distinct; in the present species the orange of the secondaries extends almost to the costa : beneath the primaries have much more blue-grey, and the submarginal spots of the secondaries are obsolete, being large in L. parthaon. 23. LEMONIAS THEAGES. d. Exp. l*05in. Above dark brown, central area of secondaries to the inner margin, and numerous spots over the margin of the secondaries and the whole area of the primaries (two, one at the end of the cell and one below it, the largest), white ; beneath as above, except that the base of the secondaries is white, and bears several black spots. Hab. Veragua (Arce) ; Costa Rica (Rogers). Mus. nostr. Obs. Allied to L. orpheus; but the white spots of the primaries are much larger, and the dark margin to the secondaries broader. 24. LEMONIAS DEBILIS. d . Exp. 1*2 in. Dark brown above irrorated with ochraceous scales, dark brown spots with ochre margins irregularly dispersed over both wings, except along the outer margin of both, where they lie contiguous to one another, forming a submarginal row: beneath as |
