AETINES.— FALGA. 609 



our collection ; but on closer examination A. atizies proves to be without a brand on 

 the primaries in the male (this being conspicuous in A. cepitus), the spots on the disc 

 of these wings are much less distinct, and those on the underside of the secondaries are 

 not so brightly coloured, and the genitalia of the males are very different in form, as 

 will be seen from our Plate. For those of A. atizies, see Tab. CIII. fig. 50. 



VIII. Antennae very long *, usually at least two-thirds the length of the costa, with an 

 elongate club, terminating in a very long crook ; primaries of the male with or 

 without a brand. 



A. Body slender ; hind tibia? with two pairs of spurs. 

 A. Terminal joint of the palpi long and erect.

The type of this genus is Carystus jeconia, Butl. (=C. abalus, Mab.), from Venezuela ; 

 it also includes a remarkable new species from Honduras described below. These 

 insects have very long wings, exceedingly elongate antennae, a long, erect, terminal joint 

 to the palpi, a slender body, and a brand on the primaries of the male formed of three 

 longitudinal streaks, which are concealed by the larger scales. 



The antennae about reach the end of the cell, and have an elongate, slender club, 

 terminating in a long crook. The palpi have the third joint long, erect, and pointed. 

 The primaries are produced and rather narrow, blunt at the tip, with the costa arched 

 at the base and straight towards the apex ; the cell is about two-thirds the length of 

 the costa ; the discocellulars are moderately transverse, the upper one more than twice 

 as long as the lower, the latter the same length as the third median segment; the lower 

 radial is depressed at the base ; the first branch arises from the middle of the median 

 nervure, the second close to the lower angle of the cell. The secondaries are slightly 

 lobed at the anal angle ; the cell is very large, occupying rather more than half the 

 length of the wing ; the discocellulars are very long and faint, the lower one oblique 

 and nearly twice the length of the upper. The body is long and slender, as are also 

 the legs. The middle tibiae are without spines, the hind tibiae have two pairs of 

 spurs. The primaries of the male have a brand formed of three longitudinal pieces, 

 which are more or less hidden by the larger scales clothing the surface of the 

 wing: one extending nearly the whole length of the second median segment; one 

 immediately beneath the first median branch ; one above the submedian nervure a 

 little before the middle. 



We give a figure of the type of F. jeconia (Butl.), also others of the fore wing and 

 genitalia of the male of this species, see Tab. CIV. figg. 1-4.
