456 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Dec., 'l6 



1 believe, Boisduval's writing : "Rusticus adolescens hanno Hiib- 

 ner (Samml. Exot. Schmetterl., pi. 117, figs. 1-4)." The refer- 

 ence here is a clerical error; it should be 98; plate 117 has only 

 two figures on it of Papi.Ho erithonius. The specimen is certain- 

 ly the same as Hubner's figures and the example from Guenee's 

 collection is the same, both of which agree with the descrip- 

 tion of Fabricius. The species is the .smallest of the genus, 

 the color is dull violet blue, the markings and pattern of the 

 underside being very small but fairly distinct. The color is 

 dull dirty gray, with the spots of the same hue encircled finely 

 with white; the transverse postmedian row of spots is very 

 near the termen, and there is no white area at all ; in the 

 secondaries the same applies, but there are in addition the 

 four black spots which are so marked a feature in this genus. 

 There is only one anal spot and therefore its position should 

 come next to hanno Stoll. 



I would tabulate the genus thus : 



Hemiargus Hiibner.

 1822 or 3. A monotypical genus, type antibubastus.

Whether this and the following species are the same I am un- 

 able to determine.

This species does not, I believe, occur on the mainland. In the 

 British Museum there are specimens from Cuba Santiago and 

 Bahamas.
