NASCITS.— BUNGALOTIS. 323 



5. Nascus advena. (Tab. LXXIX. fi gg . 6, 7 <? .) 



Telegonus advena, Mab. Le Nat. xi. p. 59, f. 1 (1889) \ 



N. cephise proximus, anticis magis acutis, punctis subapicalibus tribas, duabus costalibus approximatis, tertia 



remota, plaga mediana venis tantum divisa, distiDguendus ; plica costali obvia. 

 $ mari similis, alis omnibus magis rotundatis et plica nulla.

Dr. Staudinger has kindly lent us two female specimens of this species, one of them 

 being M. Mabille's type of Telegonus advena 1 , and a male from Chiriqui as Eudamus 

 cephise, Herr.-Schaff, which is a species of Nascus. The latter differs from specimens 

 of N. cephise in our collection in having the diaphanous patch on the primaries more 

 concentrated and the subapical spots differently placed. With these we associate a male 

 from Nicaragua and a female taken by Mr. Champion at Bugaba. The subapical spots 

 of the primaries in the type are arranged as described above, but Dr. Staudinger's 

 second female specimen has five spots instead of three — an extra one on the costa and 

 a small one next the outermost of the series. The others are placed as in the type, 

 and their position is very different from those of either N. cephise or N. caepio. The 

 secondaries have faint spots on the underside of the disc near the anal angle as in 

 N. cephise. 



BUNGALOTIS. 



Bungalotis, Watson, P. Z. S. 1893, p. 28. 



Telegonus (partim), Plotz, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1882, p. 77. 



Papilio midas of Cramer is the type of this genus, which, according to Mr. Watson, 

 contains nine species, all of them South American. To these we add Telegonus dexo, 

 Mabille, which occurs with six others within the limits of our country. 



The terminal attenuated portion of the club of the antennas is very long, being almost 

 double the length of the rest of the club ; the palpi have the terminal joint almost 

 entirely concealed by the densely set scales of the second joint. The inner margin of 

 the primaries is longer than the outer, the cell is more than two-thirds the length of 

 the costa ; the discocellulars are in a line, are subequal, and stand more nearly at right 

 angles to the axis of the wing than in Nascus, the recurrent nervule starts from the 

 third median segment some way before the end of the cell; on the secondaries the 

 radial is distinctly though feebly developed, the third median segment is comparatively 

 long, the discocellular meeting the median some way beyond the second branch. In all 

 the species except B. midas the lower discocellular of the primaries is rather longer 

 than the middle discocellular, and the two do not lie in so straight a line as in 

 the type.
