A common insect in Central America. No locality was mentioned for it by Hewitson \ 

 The females have the nervures of both wings more or less fuscous on the upperside. 

 For the genitalia of the male, see Tab. XCII. fig. 42. 



III. Antennae very short, with a stout, slightly pointed club ; terminal joint of the 

 palpi short ; primaries of the male branded ; hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs. 



CPLEREPHON, gen. nov. 



The two species referred to this genus, Pamphila rhesus, Edw., and P. citrus, Mab., 

 the latter being taken as the type, agree very nearly with Hylephila in the structure 

 of the antennae, except that they are blunter at the tip ; they differ, however, from 

 Hylephila in having the discocellulars of the primaries less oblique, the first median 

 branch arising further from the base, the brand narrower and more transverse and 

 unaccompanied by a field of modified scales, and the genitalia of the males otherwise 

 formed. 



The antennae are short, not nearly half the length of the costa, and have a short, 

 stout club, which is bluntly pointed at the tip. The palpi are densely scaled, the third 

 joint short and suberect. The primaries are pointed in the male, blunter in the 

 female ; the cell is considerably less than two-thirds the length of the costa ; the 

 discocellulars are moderately oblique, the lower one short and of the same length as the 

 third median segment ; the first branch arises near the middle of the median nervure, 

 the second immediately before the lower angle of the cell ; the lower radial is depressed 

 at its base. The secondaries are rounded at the anal angle ; the discocellulars are 

 barely traceable. The body is moderately stout. The middle and hind tibiae are 

 conspicuously spined, the latter with two pairs of spurs. The primaries of the male 

 have a narrow oblique brand, which starts from the base of the second median branch, 

 crosses the first median branch, and nearly reaches the submedian nervure. 



C. rhesus, at first sight, appears to be without a brand, but on removing the 

 scales we find that the rudiments of one can clearly be made out. The structure of 

 the genitalia of the males is very similar in the two species, and quite different from 

 that of Hylephila. C. citrus and C. rhesus both inhabit Mexico, the first-mentioned 

 extending southwards to Honduras and the latter occurring also in the Southern 

 United States.
