PAEAMIMUS.— T1M0CHKE03T. 439 



The male genitalia have a complicated tegumen, which seems cleft in the middle, 

 each lateral portion consisting of two strongly curved hooks, below which (perhaps part 

 of the scaphium) are two more horn-like points : the harpes are long and cleft towards 

 the end, the upper portion is continued in a long slightly depressed rod, the under 

 portion is wider and shorter and upturned at the end, which is rather strongly 

 serrate. (See Tab. XC. fig. 6.) 



TIMOCHREON, gen. nov. 

 Pythonides, sect. A, Watson, P. Z. S. 1893, p. 51 (partim). 



Both Helios satyrus, Feld., and Eelias satyrina, Feld., were placed by Capt. Watson 

 in the genus Pythonides; but they not only differ from the typical species of that genus 

 but also from one another, so much so that we feel obliged to place them under distinct 

 generic names, and for H. satyrus we usp Timochreon. 



T. satyrus at present stands alone. The body is rather stout, the antenna? end in a 

 long, gradually curved, slightly thickened, pointed club ; the palpi are porrect, the 

 terminal joint stout and not very prominent ; the hind tibiae have two pairs of spurs 

 and a slender tuft of hair at the proximal end : the primaries are rather pointed and 

 without costal fold ; the discocellulars are oblique, the upper comparatively lono-, the 

 middle and lower subequal ; the third median segment is short, about equal to the 

 lower discocellular : the secondaries are slightly produced at the anal angle ; the 

 discocellulars and radial feeble, the lower discocellular longer than the upper ; the 

 third median segment distinct and about equal to the second subcostal segment. 



Timochreon differs from Pythonides in the less prominent anal angle of the 

 secondaries, the less thickened club of the antennae, the more prominent porrect palpi, 

 and the presence in the male of tibial tufts of hair. There is much difference in the 

 male genitalia, as will be seen by comparing the figures. 



The range of T. satyrus extends from Panama to South Brazil.

We have seen two specimens of this species from Panama — one captured by Ribbe 

 during his first visit to the Isthmus, the other by Mr. J. J. Walker at Emperador 

 Station on the Railway Line. The type described and figured by Felder came from
