us under Eutychide. The several portions of the brand are all very long and stout, the 

 upper >-shaped piece having the two arms about equal in length, the insect differing 

 in this respect from E. achelous, in which the lower arm is very short.

Hdb. Hondueas (Wittkugel, in mus. Standing er 1 ).— British Guiana. 



Dr. Staudinger has lent us the type of this insect, which is separable from most of 

 the numerous allied forms by the shape of the brand on. the primaries, and by the 

 scattered whitish scales on the secondaries beneath. M. Mabille does not mention 

 the small blackish spots on the underside of the secondaries in his description \ 



The brand is less developed than in E. achelous, each of the longitudinal streaks 

 being narrow, and the two arms of the >-shaped piece are about equal in length. 



We have two specimens of the same species from British Guiana, captured by 

 H. Whitely on the river Takutu ; and there is a worn female from Paso de San Juan, 

 Mexico, in Mr. Schaus's collection, that may belong here. For the genitalia of the 

 male, see Tab. XCIX. fig. 23. 



9. Eutychide subsordidus.

2 . Alis fuscis, immaculatis, squamis et pilis ochraceis sparsim vestitis, posticis regione costali obscurioribus : 

 subtus pallide fuscis ; anticis dimidio costali et posticis totis squamis ochraceis ornatis ; linea circum- 

 oculari et palpis subtus ochraceis. 



Hab. Hondueas (mus. Staudinger 2 ). 



Dr. Staudinger has lent us the type of this species, which is now without a body. 



Its true position cannot be ascertained in the absence of the male, but as it appears 

 to be very nearly allied to E. asema, we place it here for the present. The yellow line 

 round the eyes and the different coloration of the under surface of the wings separate 

 it from that species. 



PHANIS, gen. nov. 



We take Hesperia justinianus, Latr. (=Thracides aletes, Hiibn.), a common Tropical- 

 American insect, as the type of this genus. It is closely allied to Artines, the brand on 

 the primaries being very similarly shaped, except that it is more excised on the outer 

 edge (the form thus becoming *>-shaped) ; but the third joint of the palpi is short and 

 stout, and the genitalia of the male are different in structure. From Eutychide the 

 form of the brand sufficiently distinguishes it ; the genitalia, too, are very dissimilar.
