Subtribe Calycopidina (formerly Lamprospilus section)

Badecla badaca (Hewitson, 1868)

Thecla badaca Hewitson : Longstaff (1912)

Calycopis badaca (Hewitson) : Barcant (1970, no. 316), Lewis (1974, plate 67.5)

Angulopis badaca (Hewitson) : Johnson and Kroenlein (1993a)

This species was treated in Lamprospilus by Robbins (2004), but the current placement is from Duarte and Robbins (2010). Longstaff’s (1912) specimen from Ariapita Road (13 Jan 1913) is in the OMNH; it is a female Lamprosilus collucia , identified as Tmolus badaca by H. Druce. Kaye (1914, 1921, no. 228) listed Calycopis badaca (Hewitson) from Trinidad based on a specimen from Emperor Valley (30 Jan 1913, K.St.A. Rogers). This specimen is also in OMNH and is also a female L. collucia . Kaye (1914, 1921) treated L. collucia as a female synonym of B. badaca , so there seems no doubt that L. collucia is the species that he knew from Trinidad, not B. badaca . Barcant (1970) did not know B. badaca as he merely repeats Kaye’s record and there are none labelled as B. badaca in his collection. Johnson and Kroenlein (1993a) list a female from Trinidad ( Arima Valley , 19–21.i.1961, B. Heineman, AMNH). We have not seen this specimen or any others of this species from Trinidad.

Camissecla camissa (Hewitson, 1870)

Siderus camissa (Hewitson) : Kaye (1940, no. 236a)
