ATRYTONE. — ATRYTONOPSIS. 497 



Bab. Mexico, Jalapa {Edwards, coll. Schaus), Orizaba (II. J. Elwes); Guatemala, 

 San Geronimo and Panima in Vera Paz, Duefias, Zapote, Chilasco (Champion); 

 Costa Rica (Van Patten 1 ), Cache, Irazu, Rio Sucio (Rogers); Panama, Chiriqui 

 (ex Staudinger). — Colombia ; Venezuela. * 



Of this species we possess a long series from Central and South America, the insect 

 ranging from the Mexican State of Vera Cruz to Venezuela. A. inimica may be known 

 from all the allied forms by the uniform fuscous colour of the upper surface of 

 the wings. We figure a pair from Orizaba. For the genitalia of the male, see 

 Tab. XCIV. fig. 46. 



BUZYGES, gen. nov. 

 Amongst the non-branded American forms placed by us provisionally under Atrytone 

 there is one, from Costa Rica, that we are compelled to separate, it having a much 

 longer club to the antennae, the club, moreover, being densely clothed with scales to 

 near the tip. The secondaries, as in many species of Atrytone, are clothed with long 

 projecting hairs at the base of the costa. The genitalia of the males are not unlike 

 those of Atrytone myron and A. rolla, the harpes being truncated at the tip. The 

 antennas are about half the length of the costa, and have a long, stout club, terminating 

 in a rather short crook, the club itself densely clothed with scales (above and beneath) 

 to near the tip. The third joint of the palpi is very short and bluntly conical. The 

 neuration of the wings is like that of Atrytone, and the legs are formed as in that 

 genus. The primaries are without trace of a brand in the male.

Alis laete brunneo-fuscis, anticis plaga magna subovali in area discali, punctis tribus in linea transversa sub- 

 apicalibus, duobus (interdum uno) infra eos, fulvis : subtus ferrugineis, anticis ad basin (nisi in costa), 

 margine interne- anguste ad angulum analem late, fuscis, maculis sicut in pagina superiore, sed punctis 

 subapicalibus (fere obsoletis) eastaneo irroratis ; ciliis anfcicaruin ad angulum analem et posticarum 

 omnino ochraceis ; clava antennarum quoque ochracea.

Mr. Rogers procured us a long series of this species from Costa Rica — all males, but 

 one. For the genitalia of the male, see Tab. XCV. fig. 3. 



ATRYTONOPSIS, gen. nov. 



We take Besperia deva, Edw., as the type of this genus, and also include in it 

 H. Manna, Scudd., and Pamphila pittacus and P. python, Edw. ; all are North-American, 

 three of them entering Northern Mexico. It is allied to Atrytone and Paratrytone, 

 from which it differs in having the primaries more produced at the tip in the males ; 

 the secondaries have a shorter cell, and their discocellulars are more transverse : the
