THYMELE. 315 



T. phalwcus occurs with Typhedanus alladius and Telegonus anaphus in the State of 

 Vera Cruz, and with the latter species in Central America as far south as Costa Rica ; 

 at Chiriqui T. gallius occurs. 



The male genitalia have the tegumen and scaphium like those of T. fulgerator, but 

 the harpes are deeply cleft towards the dorsal end; the lower portion is slightly curved 

 upwards and expanded towards the end ; the upper portion is produced forwards and 

 terminates in a rounded point. (See Tab. LXXVIII. fig. 12.) 



8. Thymele gallius. 



Telegonus gallius, Mab. Le Nat. x. p. 170, f. 5 (1888) \ 



Alis brunneis sicut in T. anapho fusco obsolete notatis ; anticis punctis tribus subapiealibus semihyalinis medio 

 minimo et cellulse propiore ; posticis angulo anali et ciliis juxta eum fulvis : subtus ut supra, anticis ad 

 angulum analem unicoloribus ; posticis ad angulum analem late fulvis, hoc colore introrsum bene defmito : 

 plica costali obvia.

Hab. Panama, Chiriqui [Bible, in mus. Staudinger 1 ). 



Dr. Staudinger has kindly submitted to us the type of this species, and it is the only 

 specimen we have seen. It closely resembles Thymele phalcecus described above, but 

 may be recognized by the subapical spots not being in a straight line, in the discal 

 band of the primaries beneath being further from the anal angle, in the colour of this 

 portion of the wing being the same as the rest, and by the sharp definition of the inner 

 edge of the fulvous colour of the secondaries. 



9. Thymele chrysorrhcea, sp. n. (Tab. LXXVIII. figg. 13, 14 s .) 



Alis saturate brunneis ; anticis obscure irregulariter fasciatis ; posticis ad angulum analem et ciliis rufo auran- 

 tiis : subtus paullo pallidioribus ; posticis ad angulum analem late aurantiis ; plica costali obvia. 



Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 



We have a single example of this distinct species, taken by Mr. Champion on the Vol- 

 cano of Chiriqui at an elevation of about 3000 feet. At first sight the species appears 

 to be closely allied to JEthilla lavochrea, but the secondaries are more elongated and 

 more rounded at the anal angle, and the orange colour spreads on to the wing beyond the 

 fringe. Besides these differences the costa of the primaries has a distinct fold, showing 

 that the relationship between these two insects is quite remote. 



b. Third median segment of the secondaries much longer.
