Hab. Panama, Chiriqui (mus. Staudinger l ). 



Dr. Staudinger has lent us two males and one female of this species, including the 

 type. It is distinguishable amongst the similarly-coloured forms by the very long and 

 slender antennae, the indistinct treble brand on the primaries in the male, and the 

 markings of the under surface. The position of the brand is indicated on the under- 

 side of the primaries by a pallid interrupted streak. 



B. Body stout; terminal joint of the palpi very short. 

 A. Hind tibiae with a single pair of spurs. 



CARYSTOIDES, gen. nov. 



The single Tropical-American species referred to this genus, Hesperia basochesi, Latr., 

 which just enters our limits, has the general facies of Carystus ; but the third median 

 segment of the primaries is nearly as long as the second, the antennae are exceedingly 

 elongate, and the hind tibiae have only one pair of spurs. 



The antennae are fully two-thirds the length of the costa, and have an elongate, rather 

 slender club, terminating in a long crook. The palpi are densely clothed with scales, 

 the third joint very short and almost concealed. The primaries are elongate, somewhat 

 pointed at the tip ; the cell is narrow and considerably less than two-thirds the length 

 of the costa ; the discocellulars are oblique, the upper one about three times as long as 

 the lower, the latter about one-fifth the length of the third median segment ; the lower 

 radial is strongly depressed at the base ; the first branch arises far before the middle of 

 the median nervure, the second at about the same distance from the lower angle of the 

 cell (the three median segments thus being subequal in length). The secondaries are 

 slightly lobed at the anal angle ; the discocellulars are transverse, the lower one distinct. 

 The body is robust, and (like the femora) very hairy beneath. The middle tibiae are 

 without spines, the hind tibiae with a single pair of spurs. The primaries of the male 

 are without trace of a brand. 



The fore wing of the male is figured on Tab. CIV. fig. 10.
