Hab. Honduras (mus. Staudinger). — South America, from Colombia to Guiana 1 

 and South Brazil. 



This is one of the most striking species of the Hesperiidee of South America. The 

 vivid blue spot near the middle of the costa of the secondaries is quite a peculiar feature, 

 not, so far as we know, found in any other member of the family. The species has a 

 wide range over the greater part of South America. Our authority for including 

 it in the Central -American fauna rests on a single male specimen captured by one of 

 Dr. Staudinger's collectors in Honduras. 



The male genitalia have a highly chitinized tegumen, the end consisting of a strong 

 claw ; the scaphium is also highly developed ; the harpes are long, with a wide excision 

 on the dorsal edge, the termination expanding like a paddle with a square end. (See 

 Tab. LXXIX. fig. 8.) 



2. Bungalotis astylos.

Alis brunneis ; anticis fascia mediana fere integra et macula inter venam medianam et ramum suum secundum 

 earn attingente semihyalinis, maculis quibusdam obsoletis ad apicem : subtus paulo pallidioribus • anticis 

 plaga indistincta fulra ad angulum analem ; posticis fasciis indistinctis duabus transversis maculosis 

 griseis notatis.

Hab. Guatemala, Las Mercedes (Champion); Panama, Chiriqui (Bible). Amazons 



Valley and Guiana 1 . 



Mr. Champion captured a specimen of this well-marked species during his visit to 

 Guatemala, and we have another from Chiriqui, and these are all the specimens we 

 know of from our country, the species being by no means common in South America. 



All the specimens that we have seen appear to be females, and the male is at present 

 unknown, unless that sex is represented by another supposed species and the relation- 

 ship not yet detected.
