576 EHOPALOCERA. 



An obscure species, much resembling M. epiberus, but distinguishable from it by the 

 primaries having only two distinct ochreous spots, instead of an oblique series tapering 

 towards the apex, as well as by the form of the genitalia of the male, for which see 

 Tab. CI. fig. 21. 



PARPHORUS, gen. nov. 



Phlebodes storax, Mab., from Chiriqui, is taken as the type of this genus. In the 

 general coloration of the underside of the wings it agrees with Apaustus menes and 

 Callimormus gracilis, i. e. the nervures of the secondaries and those at the apex of the 

 primaries are yellow. The primaries of the male have a very conspicuous raised brand, 

 formed of two kinds of scales, this being still more developed and more oblique than 

 in Phlebodes, as here understood ; the body is more slender than in that genus, and the 

 secondaries are much less produced at the anal angle. The antennee are about half 

 the length of the costa, and have an elongate club, terminating in a long crook. The 

 third joint of the palpi is short and bluntly conical. The primaries are rather narrow, 

 moderately elongate, and blunt at the tip, the costa arched at the base ; the cell is less 

 than two-thirds the length of the costa ; the discocellulars are oblique, the upper one 

 about three times as long as the lower, the latter being only half the length of the 

 third median segment ; the lower radial is strongly depressed at the base ; the first 

 branch arises from the middle of the median nervure, the second at some distance 

 before the lower angle of the cell. The secondaries are very slightly lobed at the anal 

 angle ; the discocellulars are faint and strongly oblique. The body is rather slender. 

 The middle tibiae are without spines ; the hind tibise have two pairs of spurs. The 

 primaries of the male (Tab. CI. fig. 24) have a stout, oblique, curved, greyish brand, 

 extending from the origin of the second median branch to the submedian nervure at 

 about one-third from the base, and nearly filling the angle between the second median 

 segment and the first median branch, this being bordered above and within by an 

 irregular, raised, velvety-black streak.

Mabille's type from Chiriqui is before us, and also several others from the same 

 locality, as well as three from further south, most of them kindly lent us by 

 Dr. Staudinger. P. storax is exceedingly like Callimormus omadius in coloration, but
