COCCEIUS.— CABAEES. 337 



We have a male specimen from Morrison, bearing the name Eudamus drusius, Edw., 

 and it agrees with Mr. Edwards's description of this species. 



In having a white fringe to the secondaries it resembles Phcedinus mexicanus, but it 

 may at once be distinguished by its shorter palpi and the presence in the male of a 

 costal fold to the primaries. 



CABAEES, gen. no v. 



Antennas with a gradually tapering club, curved in the middle into a crook. Palpi porrect, the third joint 

 rather prominent. Primaries with the cell more than two-thirds the length of the costa, the second, 

 third, and fourth subcostal segments subequal ; lower discocellular rather shorter than the middle, the 

 two forming an oblique line at a large acute angle to the axis of the wing ; third median segment less 

 than half the second, and rather shorter than the first ; a curved recurrent nervule starts from the end of 

 the cell. Secondaries with the discocellulars very slender ; third median segment very short ; second sub- 

 costal segment also short. Primaries short, slightly truncate at the tip ; no costal fold in the male ; 

 secondaries with a projection in the middle of the outer margin from the end of the median nervure. Hind 

 tibiae with two pairs of spurs. 



Type Thanaos potrillo, Lucas. 



This genus, perhaps, comes near Ephyriades, but there are several points of distinction, 

 such as the more oblique discocellulars of the primaries, the more truncate wings, and 

 the projection on the outer margin of the secondaries (insufficiently shown on the Plate). 

 There appear to be no distinctive male characters on the wings, either in the form of a 

 costal fold to the primaries or hair-like scales in the abdominal fold of the secondaries. 



C. potrillo, which we select as the type of the genus, ranges from the Mexican State 

 of Durango to Colombia. The second species described below is restricted to Mexico 

 and Central America.

This species bears some resemblance to Telemiades amplion, but has no real affinity 

 with it, the male having no costal fold or other essential differences. The hyaline
