C. outis Skinner. 



Occurs in Texas. 



Genus PH^DINUS Godman & Salvin. 



Synopsis of Species.

Hind wings with the fringe white 2. 



2. Smaller, the hind wings rounded caicus. 



Larger, the hind wings elongate epigena. 



P. mysie Dyar. 



Occurs in Arizona. 

 P. caicus Herrich-Schaeffer. 



Occurs in Arizona. 

 P. epigena Butler. 



Occurs in Arizona. Dr. Skinner makes this a synonym of epigona 

 H.-S., but Mabille puts epigona in Rhabdoides, whereas epigena falls 

 in Phcedinus. 1 use the name that I feel the more sure of. 



Genus COCCEIUS Godman & Salvin. 



Synopsis of Species. 



i. Hind wings with the fringe white drusius. 



Hind wings with the fringe not white pylades. 



C drusius Edward9. 



Occurs in southern Arizona. 

 C. pylades Scudder. 



Occurs throughout the Northern Atlantic states, Canada and the 

 Pacific coast. I have specimens from Ft. Smith, Mackenzie, taken 

 by Mr. Merritt Gary. Dr. Lintner described Eudamus electra from 

 Canada, which I suppose must be a synonym of this species. I have 

 not seen the type ; it cannot be found in Albany, as Dr. Felt in- 

 forms me.
