Bab. Panama {Bible, in mus. Staudinger). —South America to Brazil. 



Of this well-known Tropical-American species there is a single specimen from 

 Panama in Dr. Staudinger's collection, and we therefore have to include it in our 

 list. We give a figure of the fore wing of the male (Tab. CII. fig. 39), to show the 

 position of the brand ; also one of the genitalia, for which see Tab. CII. fig. 40. 



CYMtENES. 

 Cymeenes, Scudder, Eep. Peabody Ac. Sci. iv. p. 82 (1872) ; Proc. Am. Ac. Sci. x. p. 151. 



Scudder places under this name two Cuban insects, Cobalus tripunctus, H.-S., and 

 Gonilola malitiosa, H.-S. . we have seen the types of these ; that of the first-mentioned 

 is a female, now without body or palpi, and we therefore take the second species as 

 the type of Cymwnes ; moreover, C. tripunctus probably belongs to Cobalus as here 

 understood. The genus also includes Hesperia silius, Latr., Cobalus lutulenta, H.-S., 

 Pamphila pericles, Moschl., P. berus, Mab., and one new species described below * ; 

 C. pericles alone not entering our limits. These five species agree very well in their 

 general characters, the structure of the genitalia included; it is quite possible, 

 however, that some of them will prove to be nothing more than varieties. 



The antennae are long, and have an elongate club, terminating in a moderately long 

 crook. The palpi are densely clothed with scales ; the third joint is long and erect. 

 The primaries are rather long, blunt at the tip ; the costa is strongly arched at the 

 base, thence straight to the apex ; the cell is less than two-thirds the length of 

 the costa ; the discocellulars are oblique, the upper one a little longer than the lower, 

 the latter slightly longer than the third median segment ; the first branch arises from 

 the middle of the median nervure, the second close to the lower angle of the cell. 

 The secondaries are rounded at the anal angle ; the discocellulars are very faint and 

 form an angle inwards at their point of junction. The body is rather slender, as 

 are also the legs. The middle tibiae are without spines and the hind tibiae have two 

 pairs of spurs. The primaries of the male are without trace of a brand. 



* We also have a single specimen from Chiriqui of yet another species that probably belongs here, but as 

 it is without a body and the antennae are broken, we refrain from describing it.
