294 MALE GENITALIA OF NORTH AMERICAN HESPERIIDAE 



Records: Texas, Corpus Christi (Aaron), New Braunfels, 

 Round Mountain, San Antonio, Kerrville; Arizona, Babo- 

 quivari Mts., Pima County (Poling) ; New Mexico, Alamogordo; 

 Mexico, Sonora. 



14. Pholisora catullus Fabricius (Fig. 14.) 



Scudder, Butterflies, pi. 35, figs. 41 (valve), 42 (uncus), 43 (tip of uncus), 



(1889). 



None of the species of Pholisora in our fauna has the tibial 

 tuft. This species has the costal fold. 



The uncus ends in a single projection with three terminal 

 beaks, at the base of which the uncus is divided, showing two 

 lobes; the scaphium is strongly chitinous with some shagreena- 

 tion at the apical surface; the lobes of the valve are rounded at 

 the end, the ventral dentate outwardly and bearing a stout 

 incurved spine, set just before the apex; the aedoeagus is re- 

 markable in that at its apex there is a strong recurved hook on 

 the dorsal side, it also carries some internal hair-like spines. 



15. Pholisora mejicanus Reakirt (Fig. 15.) 



Biol. Cent.-Amer., Rhopalocera, pi. 90, fig. 12 (as mexicana), (1897). 



This species has the costal fold. It is very like catullus 

 above, but the secondaries below have a purplish tint and the 

 veins are conspicuous in a darker fuscous color. It is a Mexican 

 species occasionally taken across the border. Mr. William 

 Schaus kindly sent us some specimens from Jalapa and Oaxaca, 

 Mexico, for study. 



The uncus is stout and long, ending in a single claw, short, and 

 broad at its base; the scaphium is hardly present; the valve 

 appears truncate, the ventral lobe sharply rounded and bent up 

 and back terminating in a ])oint, the outer margin finely den- 

 ticulate, overlapping the rounded costal lobe; the aedoeagus is 

 simple, doubly bent. 



IG. Pholisora alpheus Edwards (Fig. IG.) 



Biol. Cent.-Amer., Rhopalocera, pi. 90, fig. 15, (1897). 



This species lacks the costal fold. 



The uncus is stout, terminating in a cylindrical projection 

 with a }:)luiit end; the scaphium is well dev(4o])ed and with den- 

 tations on the central super-apical surface; the valve is relatively
