2. Stomyles florus, sp. n. (Tab. XCV. fig. 24, 6 .) 



Alis nitide fuscis, stigmate concolore : subtus ut supra, sed squamis albidis sparsim vestitis ; ciliis griseis, fusco 



maculatis ; palpis subtus albidis. 

 2 ignota. 



Hab. Mexico, Sierra Madre de Tepic (Bichardsori). 



A single worn specimen only of this obscure species has been received. It is very 

 like Amblyscirtes fluonia, but has a much shorter terminal joint to the palpi ; the brand 

 of the primaries is differently shaped (the streak below the first median branch being 

 much more extended), and there is an additional piece just above the submedian 

 nervure (as in Amblyscirtes folia and A. elissa) ; the under surface of the wings is also 

 darker and more uniformly coloured, the scattered whitish scales being very conspicuous. 

 For the genitalia of the male, see Tab. XCV. fig. 24. 



3. Stomyles comus. (Tab. XCV. figg. 25, 26, 2 .)

2 . Alis nitide griseo-fuseis, anticis punetis minutis tribus in linea transversa subapicalibus, aliis tribus in 

 serie obliqua infra et ultra cellulam, albis : subtus pallidioribus, anticis punetis ut supra, sed magis obviis, 

 posticis punetis novem, sex in linea margini externo subparallelibus, aliis tribus basin propioribus. 



Hab. North America, Texas 124 .— Mexico, Northern Sonora (Morrison). 



Morrison sent us a single female example of this insect from Sonora, which agrees 

 very well with Edwards's description. According to Mr. Aaron 2 , S. comus is not 

 uncommon in the Gulf-region of Texas. 



As we have not a male at hand for examination, the species may not be correctly 

 placed here. 



b. Terminal joint of the palpi moderately long and rather slender. 



4. Stomyles nereus, (Tab. XCV. figg. 27-30, s .) 



Hesperia nereus, W. H. Edwards, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. v. p. 207 \ 

 Pamphila nereus, W. H. Edwards, Papilio, ii. p. 139 2 . 



Alis nitide fuscis, stigmate concolore, anticis punetis subapicalibus quatuor in linea transversa, infimo minutis- 

 simo, aliis tribus in linea obliqua infra et ultra cellulam, omnibus albis; posticis punetis subobsoletis in 

 linea margini exteriori subparallelibus : subtus anticis fere ut supra, sed punetis duobus obsoletis, posticis 

 griseis punetis octo, quinque in linea margini externo parallelibus, tribus basin propioribus albis. ' 



2 mari similis. 



Hab. North America, Arizona 1 2 .— Mexico, Northern Sonora (Morrison). 



We are also indebted to Morrison for three males of this species from Fort Grant
