PEBICHARES. 631 



distinct. The body is very robust. The middle tibiae are furnished with short spines, 

 the hind tibiae with two pairs of spines. The primaries of the male have a well-defined 

 oblique brand extending from the base of the second median branch to the middle of 

 the submedian nervure. 



P. agrippa has the third median segment of the primaries shorter than in either 

 P. corydon or P. lotus, but it agrees with these two species in other respects. We 

 figure the fore wing of a male of P. corydon, see Tab. CVI. fig. 14. 



a. The hyaline spots on the primaries similarly placed in the two sexes.

A common Tropical-American species, varying a good deal in the size and shape 

 of the flavo-hyaline spots on the primaries, these being much larger in the female than 

 the male ; the spot nearest the inner margin in the latter sex is sometimes absent. 

 We have seen Mr. Scudder's type of P. marmorata from Venezuela 8 , and it does 

 not differ from our long series. We have a female from Chiriqui, as well as one 

 from Brazil, in which the spots are all very large, and the submedian spot confluent 

 with the one exterior to it. In some specimens there is no trace of the greenish 

 tinge on the body and base of the wings. For the genitalia of the male, see 

 Tab. CVI. fig. 15.
