ONENSES.— GINDANES. 415 



the anal angle ; the third median segment is very short, the lower discocellular consi- 

 derably longer than the middle, the upper discocellular being quite distinct; there is 

 no costal fold ; the second median branch and the subcostal branch of the secondaries 

 both carry projections on the outer margin; the cell is long and wide; the third 

 median segment short; the discocellulars and radial distinct, the former placed at an 

 obtuse angle to one another and not in a line. The antennas have a regularly bent, 

 long, terminal hook; the terminal joint of the palpi is short, and does not project- 

 much beyond the rather closely-set scales of the second joint; the hind tibiae have two 

 pairs of spurs and a tuft at the proximal end.

 H. H. Smith, Schumann), Oaxaca (Fenochio) ; Guatemala, Polochic and. Chixoy Valleys 

 (F. B. G. & 0. S.), Panima (Champion). 



The types of this species described by Rudolph Felder were obtained by Hedemann 

 at Atoyac and Potrero in Vera Cruz * ; we have since received several specimens from 

 the former place, taken by Mr. H. H. Smith in April and May. Some years previously 

 our collectors in Guatemala sent us a few examples both from the valley of the 

 Polochic and the banks of the Chixoy below Cubulco, and Mr. Champion captured a 

 single specimen in the hot valley of Panima near a stream. South of Guatemala it 

 has not been noticed. 



The male genitalia have a divided tegumen, each branch ending in a short hook ; 

 the scaphium is well developed, but not prominent; the harpes end in a strong 

 slightly recurved arm, with two teeth at the point, from the dorsal edge arises an erect 

 club-like lobe, and there is a depressed lobe on the lower corner of the inner surface at 

 the base. (See Tab. LXXXVII. fig. 29.) 



GINDANES, gen. nov. 



The members of this genus have a great general resemblance to some of Pythonides, 

 especially those allied to P. lugubris (antea, p. 361), but there are structural differences 

 which make it necessary to separate them generically. The antennae have a longer 

 terminal hook, the last joint of the palpi is shorter and less prominent, the hind tibiae 

 have a distinct tuft of hairs, besides other differences. 



The primaries are truncate ; the cell rather wide ; the third median branch short ;
