PAMPHILA. 467 



dardaris, Hew., from Mexico, and a closely allied form from Brazil *, also belong to it. 

 The type is P. palcemon, Pall. 



The antennae are short, with a rather stout, elongate, curved, slightly pointed club. 

 The palpi are porrect, the third joint bluntly conical and almost hidden by the long 

 hairs on the second joint. The primaries have the cell less than two-thirds the length 

 of the costa ; the discocellulars are transverse and almost equal ; the lower radial is 

 straight ; the first branch arises considerably before the middle of the median nervure, 

 the second close to the lower angle of the cell, the second median segment thus 

 being very elongate. The secondaries are rounded at the anal angle ; the cell is broad 

 and more than half the length of the wing ; the discocellulars are transverse, equal, 

 and very faint. The hind tibiae have only a single pair of spurs. There is no brand 

 on the primaries in the male.

Mr. Smith has sent us a long series of examples of this species from Western 

 Mexico, and we possess three others not labelled with any exact locality. All, with 

 one exception, are males. For the genitalia, see Tab. XCII. fig. 21. 



* Pamphila daridseus, sp. n. 



P. dardari similis, sed anticis punctis tribus in linea transversa majoribus, maculis dnabus minutis margini 

 externo subparallelibus, aliisque plus minusve indistinctis in regione submediana, omnibus albis : subtus 

 anticis fere ut in P. dardari; posticis grisescentioribus, maculis albis minus distinctis, maculis variis 

 discalibus aliisque in serie submarginali baud ad angulum analem extensis, nigris.

P. daridcms differs from our Mexican insect in having a larger number of spots on the primaries, the 

 •secondaries beneath are greyer, the white spots not so apparent, and the disc is marked with some scattered 

 folack spots.
