PRENES. 

 Prenes, Scudder, Rep. Peabody Ac. Sci. iv. p. 81 (1872) ; Butt. E. U. S. & Canada, iii. p. 1865. 



The type of this genus, which was not identified by Watson, is Hesperia panoquin, 

 Scudd., and it includes Hesperia new, Fabr., H. ocola, Edwards, Papilio evadnes, Cram., 

 and various other American species. 



It may be recognized by the elongate fore wings, which have the cell nearly or quite 

 two-thirds the length of the costa, the hind wings are slightly lobed at the anal angle, 

 the third joint of the palpi is short, and the male, except in P. evadnes, is without 

 trace of a brand on the primaries. The antennae vary somewhat in length, being 

 shorter in P. panoquin and P. ocola than in the other species. 



P. philippina has a more slender club, and P. eugeon, G. & S., from the Antilles, a 

 shorter crook, to the antennae, and they may not really belong here. P. evadnes is 

 obviously very closely allied to P. new and P. pauper, and we do not hesitate to place 

 them in the same genus ; these three species are very much larger than P. panoquin, 

 and have a different facies. 



The antennae are rather short and have a stout club, terminating in a moderately 

 long crook. The palpi have the third joint very short and bluntly conical. The 

 primaries are elongate and narrow, concave on their outer margin ; the cell is nearly 

 or quite two-thirds the length of the costa ; the discocellulars are very oblique, the 

 lower one very much shorter than the upper ; the lower radial is more or less depressed
