342 EHOPALOCEEA. 



So far as we know at present Typhedanus contains two species — one from Mexico 

 and the other from Venezuela. 



l. Typhedanus alladius, sp. n. (Tab. LXXXI. figg. 7, 8, 9 e .) 



Alia brunneis, fasciis duabus communibus obscurioribus, exteriore ad angulum anticarum apicalem interrupta ; 

 posticis ad angulum analem et ciliis fulvis, sulco elongato ad niarginem internum penicillo fulvo inclu- 

 dente : subtus fasciis communibus magis distinctis, colore fulvo ad angulum posticarum analem magis 

 extenso. 



Rah. Mexico, Coatepec (Brooks), Atovac (H. H. Smith, Schumann). 



This species is exceedingly like Telegonus anaphus in general appearance, having 

 almost exactly the same coloration ; but the male may at once be distinguished by a 

 tuft of long hairs lying in a groove parallel to the inner margin of the secondaries. 

 This character is strongly supported by the difference in the secondary male organs of 

 the two species, as will be seen by comparing the figures. The females, so far as we 

 can tell, are barely separable by external characters. 



We have a number of specimens of this species, all taken on the mountain-slopes of 

 the State of Vera Cruz — some by Mr. Brooks at Coatepec near Jalapa (one of which 

 we figure), the rest by Mr. Herbert Smith at Atoyac at a lower elevation. The latter 

 were all captured in April. 



The male genitalia have a long cleft tegumen ending in a depressed hook ; the 

 scaphium is well developed ; and the harpes end in a rounded upturned lobe. (See 

 Tab. LXXXI. fig. 9.) 



C^ECINA. 



Carina, Hewitson, Descr. Hesp. p. 55 (1868) ; Watson, P.Z. S. 1893, p. 36. 



Hewitson described this genus in 1868, and placed two species in it, both having 

 well-marked male characters, viz. a tuft of hairs situated on the upperside of the cell 

 of the secondaries and a large glabrous patch on the underside of the primaries. These 

 characters are also present in Mr. Watson's genus Porphyrogenes, doubtfully distinct 

 from Cwcina. 



The antennae have a gradually thickening club, tapering from the middle to the 

 end, evenly curved and not abruptly bent. The third joint of the palpi is short, 

 but projects slightly beyond the scales of the second joint. The costa of the primaries 

 is arched, the apex truncate, and the outer margin concave ; the cell is more than two- 

 thirds the length of the wing ; the third median segment is longer than the first, the 

 lower discocellular slightly longer than the middle but in a line with it ; the third 

 median segment is less than a third the second segment. The outer margin of the 

 secondaries is much rounded, the anal angle only slightly projecting; the discocellulars 

 very feeble, the third median segment very short, the second median branch starting 

 from close to the end of the cell ; the second subcostal segment also unusually short.
