CALLIMOKMUS. 605 



3. CaUimormus gracilis. (Tab. CHI. fig. 34, 6 .) 



Ancyloxypha gracilis, Feld. Reise Nov., Lep. t. 74. f. 28 1 (nee Watson). 

 Apaustus gracilis, Plotz, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1884, p. 158 2 (nee Watson). 



Alis fuscis, stigmate concolore, anticis in costa et inter ramos medianos ad eellulae finem squamis ochreis 

 sparsim vestitis : subtus anticis apicem versus, et posticis omnino, venis pallide ochraeeis ; palpis coloris 

 ejusdem, corpore albido. 



Hab. Mexico, Teapa (II. H Smith) ; Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt) ; Panama, Chiriqui 

 (Arce, mus. Staudinger), Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). — Colombia, Bogota 1 2 ; 

 Venezuela. 



This is one of several small Tropical- American species with yellow radiating lines 

 beneath. It is very like C. juvenilis, Scudder, but is more obscurely coloured above, 

 and the secondaries beneath have no pale discal spots. Mr. H. H. Smith sent 

 tis a long series of specimens from Teapa and we have others from more southern 

 localities. 



The insect identified by Watson as A. gracilis, Feld., was incorrectly included by 

 him in the genus Apaustus (P. Z. S. 1893, p. 97). Felder's species has a long 

 crook to the antennal club, as is plainly indicated in the figure given in the ' Voyage 

 of the Novara,' whereas in Apaustus the antennae are very short and have a blunt 

 club. For the genitalia of the male, see Tab. CM. fig. 34. 



b. Nervures beneath not paler than the rest of the surface. 



4. Callimormus corades. (Tab. CM. figg. 35, 36, 37, e .)

 Apaustus tenera, Plotz, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1884, p. 161 3 . 



Alis fuscis, stigmate concolore, anticis maculis tribus in linea obliqua, ea ad venam submedianam proxima 

 elongata et frequenter indistincta, secunda magna, tertia minutissima (una quoque nonnunquam in 

 cellula), punctis tribus subapicalibus in linea transversa (interdum obsoletis), omnibus ochraeeis : subtus 

 ut supra, anticis macula ad venam subcostalem. absente; posticis griseis, fascia angusta angulata ultra 

 cellulam margineque exteriore late fuscis ; palpis et corpore subtus griseis. 

 $ mari similis. 



Hab. Mexico, San Bias (Baron), Dos Arroyos, Rio Papagaio, Tierra Colorada, 

 Bincon, La Venta, and Hacienda de la Imagen in Guerrero, Atoyac, Teapa (H. H. Smith),

A very common Mexican insect, occurring on both the eastern and western slopes, 

 whence we have a very long series sent us by Mr. Smith ; we also have others from 

 Guatemala, Venezuela, and the Amazons. 



Mr. Walter Eothschild has kindly lent us Felder's type of A. corades, and with this
