EANTIS.— DOBERES. 407 



The male genitalia are very similar to those of E. busirus, the tegumen has a short 

 erect rod rising from the middle of the dorsal surface; the harpes are truncate, and 

 from the middle of the outer edge is a short lobe. (See Tab. LXXXVIL fig. 10.) 



DOBERES, gen. nov. 



With much of the general outline of the wings of Eantis, in which genus D. mexi- 

 canus is placed by Mr. Watson, Doberes differs in several important particulars : the 

 terminal joint of the palpi is longer and more prominent ; the hind tibiae instead of 

 having the usual two pairs of spurs have only the terminal pair, the others being 

 apparently entirely absent ; moreover, the under surface of the tibiae has small spines 

 along its whole length intermingled with the scales, there is, too, a well-developed 

 crest of hairs along the dorsal edge, but no definite tuft as in the males of Eantis ; nor 

 is there any tuft at the base of the secondaries on the upper surface, with a corre- 

 sponding patch on the under surface of the primaries, as in E. busirus. The primaries 

 have no costal fold. 



The genus at present contains the single species mentioned below, which seems 

 restricted in its range to the Mexican State of Vera Cruz.

Hob. Mexico {coll. Felder 1 ), Orizaba (Boucard), Cordova (Rumeli). 



A distinct species with no near allies, and apparently restricted in its range to the 

 State of Vera Cruz. But few specimens have reached us, and most of these were 

 formerly in the Saunders and Kaden Collections, and without definite locality. A 

 male from Orizaba was taken by M. Boucard, and another was sent by Riimeli to 

 Dr. Staudinger, most probably from Cordova, where the bulk of his collection was 

 made. 



The male genitalia have the tegumen ending in a single blunt truncate edge, near 

 the base of the terminal piece, on either side, is an elongated sharp-pointed lobe ; the 

 scaphium is well developed and elongated, slightly granular at its end : the harpes 

 separate into two portions towards the end — the upper segment turns inwards and ends 

 in strong papillae or teeth ; the lower segment turns upwards and is strongly serrate at 

 its end. (See Tab. LXXXVII. fig. 11.)
