442 KHOPALOCERA. 



Eab. Noeth America, South-western States. — Mexico, Sonora {coll. Bates), near 

 Durango city (Becker), Lake Chapala (W. B. Richardson), Morelia (F. P. G.), Cordova 

 (Bumeli), Puebla (E. J. Elwes), Vera Cruz ( W. E. Edwards l ). 



Reakirt's description of this species was based upon a specimen taken near Vera 

 Cruz by Mr. W. H. Edwards. We have a series of examples of it both from that 

 State and also from several places in Western Mexico, and we believe that it extends 

 beyond our limits into the North-American States of California, Colorado, and Nevada. 



The male genitalia have a simple tegumen ending in a central claw, with a lobe on 

 either side at its base ; the scaphium is feebly developed: the harpes appear truncated 

 at the end, due to the folding inwards of the upper and lower corners ; the lower of 

 these folds has a nearly smooth edge. (See Tab. XC. fig. 12.) 



2. Pholisora clytius, sp. n. (Tab, XC. figg. 13, 14 6.) 



P. mexicance similis, sed minor, alis immaculatis fusco-nigris ; posticis ad medium marginis externi magis 

 productis. 



Eab. Mexico, Tres Marias Is. (Forrer). 



Mr. Forrer sent us three specimens of this obscure species, which, however, is quite 

 distinct from P. mexicana, for, besides the outward characters mentioned above, the 

 male genitalia present differences which must not be overlooked. 



The tegumen is a more sinuous rod and has no lobes at the base; the scaphium 

 is hardly visible ; the harpes show two angular lobes at the end, the lower of which 

 is serrate. (See Tab. XC. fig. 14.) 



3. Pholisora alpheus. (Tab. XC. fig. 15 s .) 



Thanaos alpheus, W. H. Edw. Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. v. p. 206 \ 

 Pholisora alpheus, W. H. Edw. Papilio, ii. p. 139 2 . 



Alis fusco-nigris, pallidiore fusco variegatis ; anticis maculis tribus subapicalibus efc una diseali inter ramos 

 medianos albis, lineola obscure albida submarginali ; posticis saturatioribus : subtus saturate fuscis ; 

 posticis squamis paucis albis, irregulariter notatis : palpis subtus albis. 



Eab. Nokth Ameeica, New Mexico 1 , Arizona 2 .— Mexico, Aguas Calientes (F. D. G.). 



This species was described by Mr. W. H. Edwards from two specimens taken by 

 Lieut. W. C. Carpenter in New Mexico in 1875 \ and he subsequently gave a fuller 

 description from fresher examples taken by Morrison at Fort Grant in Arizona 2 . We 

 have several of Morrison's specimens, and also two taken by Godman at Aguas 

 Calientes, which bring the species well within our limits. 



Though we leave P. alpheus in Pholisora, where Mr. Edwards placed it, we are not 

 sure that this will be its final resting-place. The antennas are blunter than in typical 

 Pholisora, and are shaped more like the antennas of true Eesperia, but the palpi are* 

 long as in Pholisora. 



The primaries have no costal fold ; the hind tibiae have two pairs of spurs, but no
