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)
