306 EHOPALOCEEA. 



San Francisco, Cache (Rogers) ; Panama, Chiriqui, Calobre (ArcS).— South America 

 generally from Colombia to South Brazil and Paraguay. 



Mexican and Central- American specimens have rather less fulvous colour at the anal 

 angle of the secondaries than Cramer's figure and specimens from the Lower Amazons 

 valley ; but the difference is hardly material, as the species enjoys an uninterrupted 

 range over nearly the whole of Tropical America. 



Telegonus anaphus may be distinguished from several other species having the same 

 coloration by the absence of a tuft of yellow hairs near the base of the secondaries, as 

 in Typhedanus alladius, and also by the absence of a costal fold in the primaries, as 

 in Thymele gallius. These differences are strongly supported by the very different 

 formation of the harpes of all these species, as will be seen by reference to the 

 figures. 



The male genitalia of T. anaphus are much like those of Uudamus proteus. The 

 tegumen ends in two points ; the scaphium is feeble ; the harpes end in a blunt point ; 

 there is a distinct dorsal fissure, on each side of which the edge is slightly raised. (See 

 Tab. LXXVII. fig. 10.) 



2. Telegonus ampyx, s P . n. (Tab. LXXVII. figg. 11, 12 $ .) 



T. anaplio similis, sed posticis ad angulum analem haud productis et mlnime fulvo tinctis, ciliis sordide albis : 

 subtus posticis ad angulum analem fulvo-albidis fusco atomatis ; anticis ad angulum analem vix palli- 

 dioribus : ano abdomine concolore baud fulvo. 



Hah. Mexico, Valladolid in Yucatan (Gaumer). 



We have a single specimen of this species, probably a female, which was sent us from 

 Yucatan by Dr. Gaumer. It has considerable outward resemblance to T. anaphus, but 

 differs in several particulars. Its exact position can only be determined by dissections 

 of the male. 



3. Telegonus hahneli. (Tab. LXXVII. figg. 13, 14 <s .) 



Thymele cassander, Staud. Exot. Tagf. t. 98 (nee Fabr.) 1 . 



Mthilla hahneli, Staud. Exot. Tagf. p. 291 2 . 



Alis saturate brunneis ; anticis fasciis duabus valde indistinctis exteriore submarginali fracta ; posticis unico- 

 loribus : subtus ut supra, anticis paulo pallidioribus et fascia submarginali magis distincta : capite et 

 protboraee viridi lavatis. 



Hab. Costa Kica, Irazu (Sogers) ; Panama, Chiriqui (mus. Standing er 2 ), Volcan de 

 Chiriqui (Champion). — Venezuela 2 ; Cuba 2 . 



Through Dr. Staudinger's kindness we have a specimen of his JEthilla hahneli taken 

 in Venezuela by the late Dr. Hahnel, after whom it was described 1 . A specimen from 

 Chiriqui, taken by Mr. Champion on the volcano at an altitude of about 2500 feet, and 

 several from Costa Rica agree accurately with the Venezuela insect. 



Dr. Staudinger placed this species in the genus Mthilla, but it does not possess the
