This very distinct species is not uncommon in Central America, whence we possess 

 various specimens. C. coryna is easily recognized by the silvery underside of the 

 secondaries divided by two longitudinal rusty-red lines. The type of H. coryna was 

 from the Amazons 1 and those of H catargyra from Colombia and Venezuela 2 . 

 Southern specimens often have an extra spot on the primaries. For the genitalia of 

 the male, see Tab. CII. fig. 19. 



PARACARYSTUS, gen. nov. 



There are three Tropical-American Pamphilinae closely related to Carystus that 

 cannot be included in it, as at present understood. These insects are Hesperia menetriesi, 

 Latr. (=H rona, Hew.), Phlebodes koza, Butl., and Cobalus hypargyra, H.-S. ; the 

 last-mentioned, and the only one entering our limits, is taken as the type of the present 

 genus. The secondaries are peculiarly coloured beneath, considerably produced at 

 the anal angle, and the cell is comparatively short ; the primaries are produced and 

 somewhat pointed at the tip in the male ; and the genitalia are very peculiarly formed 

 in this sex, the harpes being produced into a long curved piece. The neuration of the 

 wings (Tab. CII. fig. 22) is like that of Carystus coryna (Hew.). 



The antennae are rather more than half the length of the costa, and have a slender 

 club, terminating in a long crook. The third joint of the palpi is short and conical. 

 The primaries are produced at the apex, somewhat pointed in the male and blunt in 

 the female, the costa arched at the base ; the cell is less than two-thirds the length of 

 the costa ; the discocellulars are very oblique, the upper one twice the length of the 

 lower, the latter being of about the same length as the third median segment ; the first 

 branch arises before the middle of the median nervure, the second at some little 

 distance before the lower angle of the cell. The secondaries are produced at the anal
