488 RHOPALOCERA. 



terminating in a short crook. The third joint of the palpi is very short and bluntly 

 conical, almost concealed. The primaries and secondaries are shaped as in Atrytone, 

 the costa of the latter clothed with very long hairs at the base. The middle and hind 

 tibia? are spined, the latter with two pairs of spurs. The primaries of the male have 

 an oblique linear brand running from the base of the second median branch to the 

 submedian nervure. 



1. Paratrytone rhexenor, sp. n. (Tab. XCIII. figg. 41-43, <s .) 



Alis fuscis, stigmate obscuriore ; anticis macula lunulata inter ramos medianos primum et secundum, altera 

 minuta ultra earn, una supra venam submedianam, aliis duabus minutissimis juxta cellulae finem, et punctis 

 tribus subapicalibus in linea transversa, flavidis ; posticis maculis in serie subapicali coloris ejusdem : 

 subtus rufo-fuscis, area submediana a basi usque ad ramum secundum medianum fuscescente, maculis ut in 

 pagina superiore ; posticis strigis maculosis longitudinalibus subparallelibus, interiore interrupta, albidis.

Hah. Mexico, Milpas in Durango (Forrer), Las Vigas (coll. Schaus). 



Mr. Schaus's collection contains three males and one female of this species, and 

 Mr. Forrer has sent us a male from Durango. The markings on the underside of the 

 secondaries of this insect are very peculiar, unlike those of any other species of 

 Pamphilinae known to us. Eor the genitalia of the male, see Tab. XCIII. fig. 43. 



2. Paratrytone polyclea, sp. n. (Tab. XCIII. figg. 44, 45, s .) 



Alis fuscis, stigmate nigrescente ; anticis maculis tribus in linea obliqua infra et ultra cellulam, ea in medio 

 maxima, una in cellula, punctis tribus in linea transversa subapicalibus, stramineis ; posticis fascia 

 maculosa transversa apicem versus coloris ejusdem: subtus griseo-fuscis, anticis dimidio interiore 

 obscuriore, maculis ut supra, posticis squamis flavis irroratis et fascia transversa paginse superioris 

 indistincte indicata.

Hah. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 



A single male taken by Mr. H. H. Smith at Omilteme in Guerrero, at an altitude of 

 8000 feet, is all we know of this species. P. polyclea closely resembles Atrytone 

 melane on the upperside, except that it has a spot in the cell and a conspicuous brand ; 

 beneath, the coloration is very different. 



PHYCANASSA. 



Phycanassa, Scudder, Rep. Peabody Ac. Sci. iv. p. 77 (1872) ; Butt. E. U. S. ii. p. 1600 (1889); 

 Watson, P. Z. S. 1893, p. 111. 



The type and only hitherto recorded representative of this genus is the North- 

 American P. viator (Edw.). We refer to it a single species from Western Mexico, of 

 which, unfortunately, females only have been received. Phycanassa agrees with Poanes 

 in its comparatively broad wings and somewhat porrect palpi, as well as in the form of 

 the genitalia of the males, but differs from it in having the first median branch of the 

 primaries arising from nearer the base of the median nervure.
