114 MALE GENITALIA OF NORTH AMERICAN HESPERIIDAE 



8. Epargyreus zestos Gej'er (Fig. 7.) 



In addition to Miami and Key West examples in the Academy- 

 Collection, there are some from the Bahamas. 



In this and the following species of this genus, the aedoeagus 

 is ragged and dentate at its terminus and slightly shagreened.

 bearing rather long stout spines readily separates the species of

 and following species which, however, are readily separated by 

 their color and maculation.

The genus Eudamus was erected l)y Swainson in 1832. with 

 proteus as type. Goniurus was erected by Hubner in 1820 for 

 simplicius, coelus, proteus and six other species. Watson in 

 1893 selected coelus Cramer (aurunce Hewitson) as type of
