nudes, liavo females which arc very simihir and only se])aral)Ie 

 in their extreme forms or by association, is I lie ])ossi])iliiy that 

 ;ill I lie females menlione(l above belon<!; lo bninned., and (hat 

 the female of (ircd.s is as ye( not discovered or, if described, not 

 ])roperly assigned. 



In his ])a,])ei' on the r>e])id<)])t era of the Isle of l*ines, Holland"-^ 

 calls t he s])(Mues olrcn.s with hnuitiea as a variety. According to 

 oiir hypothesis bnuinea male is n^presented by his figure 5; 

 female l)y figure 4, and tigur(^ 3 might be the female of areas. 

 He had two males of arca.s but associated no female with it. 



Elcctra Lintner-^ is also the female of hrunnen or areas, ]irob- 

 ably the former, arriving at Hamilton, Ontario, from the tropics 

 on fruit, as Skinner suggests.^" 



Brnnnea and areas we believe to be congeneric, and a com- 

 parison of the genitalia confirms this conclusion. The latter 

 species has, in addition to the costal fold, a tibial tuft, but we 

 do not ])elieve that this difTerence is of generic importance. We 

 therefore adopt the earliest generic name Ephyriades Hiibner,''^ 

 of which otreus is the first named species, designated by Scudder'- 

 as the type. 



The pattern of the hyaline spots indicat(\s relationship with 

 Cogia, and the asymmetric valvae conne(^ts them with Thanaos. 



The tegumen is peculiar and complicated; it lacks the hootl or 

 boniu't of our previously treated hesperiids. The girdle, yivo- 

 duc(>d lat(>rally, extends above the uncus, which with its j^ro- 

 jecting ])r()cesses extends downwards almost into the girdle. 

 The right valve is Inroad and rounded outwardly, carrying at the 

 ajx'x a spatulate s]iined arm; the left valve is narrow, long and 

 tapering from the bas(> to the a])ex, ending in a blunt rod. The 

 aedoeagus is bent in the middle where it carries a broad dorsal 

 lobe.
