T. marsya) (Linn.) similis, sed alis supra omnino cganescentioribus: subtus maculis nigris omnibus laete albicanti-caeruleo distincte marginatis; anticis area tota ad marginem internum Icete cyanea; j>osticis ad angulum analem ccerulescentioribus, macula submar-ginali nigra intra ramos medianos anguste ovali nee fere rotunda distinguenda. 2 a femina T. marsyae eodem modo differt. Hab. St. Vincent. " Windward and leeward sides Wallibon Valley, 400 to 500 feet' edge of forest, June 10." This species seems sufficiently distinct from the Continental T. marsgas to require a name. Mr. Smith obtained a series of specimens on St. Vincent both on the windward and leeward sides of the island. 12. THECLA PIPLEA, sp. n. T. pioni proxima, sed alis subUis saturatioribus ; posticis macula coccinea submarginali inter venam medianam et ramum suum secundum multo majore, fasciis duabus maculosis transversis magis approximatis. Hab. St. Vincent. " Scrubby growth on Sufriere Volcano, 2500 feet, Jan. 5-10, near the craters." This species is closely allied to T. pion of Central America (Biol. Centr.-Am., Rhop. ii. p. 56, pl. 54. ff. 28-30), and the male has the small tuft of hair on the upperside of the secondaries near the base of the subcostal nervure characteristic of this group of Thecla. Mr. Smith obtained a series of specimens in good condition. 13. THECLA ANGEUONA, n. sp. T. angeliae similis et supra vix differt anticis medicditer vix subtus posticis macula submarginali rubra magna, fasciis transversis duabus nigris inter ramos medianos attingentibus. Hab. St. Vincent, Grenadines, and Grenada. " Common all the year in all parts of St. Arincent in open land at the edge of the forest up to 3000 feet. Wallibon Valley, 500 feet, Jan. 10." "Mount Gay Estate and Balthazar, Grenada; MustiqueIsland, Grenadines. " Mr. Smith has sent a large series of specimens of this Thech, which appears to be quite common in St. Vincent. It is closely allied to the Cuban T. angelia, H e w . (111. Diurn. Lep. p. 162, pl. 63. ff. 439, 440). 14. THECLA TELEA, Hew. Thecla telea, Biol. Centr.-Am., Rhop. ii. p. 82. " Edge of forest Wallibon Valley, St. Vincent, 500 feet, Jan. 10," |
