Hah. Mexico, Cuernavaca (H. H. Smith) ; Guatemala, San Geronimo (Champion), 

 Chixoy Valley (F. I). G. & 0. S.). 



Externally this species closely resembles S. giselus, but differs in having the palpi 

 beneath much whiter. The male has the hyaline spots almost obsolete, the lower of 

 the two being scarcely visible ; in the female both spots are apparent. 



The male genitalia have a short lobe on either side of the base of the terminal 

 portion of the tegumen ; the harpes spread transversely at the end, the outer edge 

 being irregular but strongly serrate, there is a deep sinus on the dorsal edge. (See 

 Tab. LXXXIX. fig. 20.) Compare the figure with that of the corresponding parts of 

 S. giselus (fig. 26). 



8. Staphylus Orsines, sp. n. (Tab. LXXXIX. figg. 21, 22 s .) 



S. evippe similis, alis nigricantioribus unieoloribus, punctis anticarum hyalinis nullis ; palpis elongalis porrectis : 

 subtus albidis ; anticis ad apicem magis acutis, margine externo rectiore. 



Hah. Mexico, Lake Chapala [W. B. Bichardson). 



A single male specimen is ail we have seen of this species, which closely resembles 

 S. evippe in general appearance. The male genitalia, however, differ sufficiently to 

 prove that the two insects are really distinct, as will be apparent on comparing the 

 figures. 



The male genitalia resemble those of S. evippe, but the terminal portion of the 

 tegumen is longer and more evenly curved ; the harpes spread transversely at the upper 

 corner of the outer margin and the edge itself is serrate, but there is no sinus on the 

 ventral edge. (See Tab. LXXXIX. fig. 22.)

9. Staphylus brennus. (Tab. LXXXIX. fig. 23 <s .) 



Nisoniades brennus, Mab. in litt. 



Alis fusco-brunneis, fere immaculatis, sparsim squamis fulvis aspersis ; anticis fascia submarginali vix pallidiore 

 punctis byalinis nullis ; palpis subtus squamis nigricantibus et fulvis intermixtis sat longis vestitis. 



Hob. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2500 to 4000 feet, David (Champion), Chiriqui 

 (Bibbe, in mus. Staudinger). 



Dr. Staudinger has sent us two specimens from Chiriqui with this name in the hand- 

 writing of M. Mabille attached to them. We have a few others of Mr. Champion's 

 collecting from the same district. 



S. brennus is closely allied to S. giselus, and has the palpi similarly coloured, but the 

 primaries are devoid of hyaline spots always present in 8. giselus. The male genitalia, 

 too, differ slightly, as will be seen on comparing the figures: they have harpes
