APODEMIA. 467 
tibia is ovoid, > femur + trochanter, first tarsal joint also ovoid,= femur, terminal joint 
subcylindrical,= trochanter, the terminal tarsal joint of the front leg of the female= 
third joint; the third and fourth joints terminate each with a pair of long spines; the 
first and second joints, as well as the tibia, have in addition several strong spines 
beneath. The palpi have a very slender terminal joint=} middle joint, which is tumid. 
The bursa copulatrix of the female has two sagittate chitinous patches. 
Regarding A. palmeri and the allied species 4. hepburni and A. walkeri, we can say 
nothing of their sexual structure as we have not sufficient materials for dissection. 
Their general resemblance to A. virgulti is obvious, and this is why we place them in 
this genus. . 
Nemeobius mexicanus, Behr, evidently an Apodemia, we have not been able to 
recognize. 
1, Apodemia cythera. 
Lemonias cythera, W. H. Edw. Trans. Am. Ent. Soe. iv. p. 345°. 
Alis testaceis marginibus externis fuscis, maculis albis nigro limbatis ad basin et serie submarginali ejusdem 
coloris, linea valde sinuata ultra cellulas nigra, maculas albas extus attingentibus; subtus (presertim posticis) 
pallidioribus, marginibus externis haud fuscis sed fere albis nigro maculatis, ciliis alterne nigris et albis. 
2 mari similis, sed major. 
Hab. Norrn America, Arizona !.—Maxico, Northern Sonora (Morrison). 
A common species in Arizona and along our northern frontier, judging from the 
number of specimens sent us by Mr. Morrison. It is closely allied to L. mormo of 
Felder and L. virgulti of Behr. Mr. Strecker, indeed, treats it as identical with the 
last-named species, and this again asa variety of L.mormo. ‘The more rufous secondaries 
above and their lighter colour beneath, chiefly owing to the greater size of the white 
spots, seem to us to sufficiently distinguish it. 
2. Apodemia virgulti. 
Nemeobius virguiti, Behr, Proc. Cal. Ac. Nat. Se. iii. p. 178°. 
Lemonias mormo, var. virgulti, Strecker, Butt. & Moths N. Am. p. 104 - 
Apodemia sonorensis, Feld. Reise d. Nov. Lep. p. 303°. 
L. cythere similis, sed anticis magis acutis ad basin multo fuscescentioribus; subtus posticis fuscis, maculis 
irregularibus albis, maculis alteris albis nigro cireumcinctis ultra cellule medium. 
Hab. Norva Amertca, Southern California ', Arizona.—Mexico, Sonora (Lorquin) °. 
Dr. Felder described this insect under the name of ZL. sonorensis from Mexican 
specimens, and we have an example of Mexican origin from Mr. Bates’s collection. 
The latter agrees with the Californian specimens sent us from the United States as 
L. virgulti. It is closely allied to LZ. mormo, but differs in having some rufous 
markings on the secondaries above, and the wings of the male are perhaps a little more 
pointed.
