b. Primaries with three large hyaline spots forming an oblique discal fascia ; secondaries 

 immaculate above, and with the spaces between the nervures greyish-ochreous 

 beneath. 



2. Carystus cynaxa. (Tab. CII. figg. 5, 6, s .) 



Hesperia cynaxa, Hew. Descr. Hesp. p. 25 (1868) \ 



Alia nigro-fuscis, chalybeo tinctis, anticis maculis tribus magnis ia linea obliqua, una subquadrata in cellula, 

 secunda majore infra earn, tertia subrotunda angulum analem versus, nitide albo-hyalinis : subtus anticis 

 ut supra, sed costa et apice late posticisque viridi-ochraeeis, venis omnibus nigris, posticis margine 

 interno chalybeo tinctis. 



2 mari similis. 



Hab. Mexico x (Mus. Brit.) ; Panama, Chiriqui (mus. Staudinger). 



Hewitson's type of this species is a somewhat worn female, and there is a male of 

 it in fresh condition from Chiriqui in Dr. Staudinger's collection. C. cynaxa is perhaps 

 most nearly allied to C. claudianus (Latr.), C. bursa (Hew.), and C. jolus (Cram.), but 

 the position of the hyaline spots sufficiently distinguishes it. 



c. Primaries with or without small white spots, the secondaries with a large 



white patch.

Alis nigro-fuscis, posticis macula permagna subtriangulari a margine interno ultra cellulam (illic angustiore)

 ferruginea, macula supra venam submedianam angulum analem versus, aliisque minoribus plus minusve 

 indistinctis in linea recta apicem versus extendentibus, albis ; posticis coloris ejusdem, venis (submediana 

 excepta) et macula ad cellulae finem castaneis, margine externo apicem versus irregulariter castaneo et 

 cbalybeo notatis, ad angulum analem ipso fusco ; corpore subtus albo.

 Bolivia. 



There is a single male specimen from Chiriqui in Dr. Staudinger's collection which 

 we refer to this species. It differs from our southern examples of the same sex in the 

 absence of the spots on the upper surface of the primaries, but as we have intermediate 

 forms from Para we have little doubt they all belong to one variable insect. Cramer's 

 figure of P. ebusa appears to have been taken from a female, and that of P. psecas from 

 a male. Our figure of the male insect is taken from the Chiriqui specimen; that of 

 the genitalia from an example from Para, for which see Tab. CII. fig. 9.
