of the eye. Front but little tumid, not mucli and equally surpassing the front of the 

 eyes, more than twice as broad as long, separated from the vortex by a slightly arcuate, 

 shallow sulcation, connecting the bases of the antennae in front of the middle, a little 

 dei)re,sscd in front of the antiiinae, the front margin slightly excised an<l slightly mar- 

 ginatc, laterally considerably docked, the sides slightly convex and reacliing the outer 

 edge of the antennae. Vertex somewhat tumid by being arched longitudinally, but 

 transversely nearly tlat, excepting at the sides, half as long again as the front, elevated 

 above the level of the eyes anteriorly, failing to reach it posteriorly, separated from 

 the occiput by a pretty strongly bent, slightly impressed, transverse line ; a transverse, 

 arcuate, not strongly pronounced ridge crosses the middle of the vertex, opening 

 backward. Eyes large, pretty full, nearly circular, naked. Antennae inserted near 

 the front of the summit, their interior edges separated by a space three times as great 

 as the width of the basal joints; a little shorter than the abdomen, composed of forty 

 joints, of which twenty-three form the club, which is contained about one and three- 

 fourths times in the stalk and is bent beyond the middle of the .apical two-thirds; the 

 portion l)efore tht crook increases regularly in size for its basal three-flfths, and then 

 remains of nearly the same breadth — more than equal to the length of two joints — until 

 just before the crook, which consists of about a dozen joints and tapers rapidly and regu- 

 larly to a point; the joints of the middle of the stalk are nearly two and a half times 

 longer than broad. Palpi pretty stout, nearly twice as long as the eye, the basal joints 

 heavily clothed with long scales, beyond which nearly the whole of the apical joint pro- 

 jects, clothed only with recumbent scales ; basal joint nearly globular, produced a little 

 interiorly, broader than long and less than one-third the length of the middle joint ; 

 middle joint large, tumid, straight, cylindrical, well-rounded at base, subconical to- 

 ward tip, fully two and one-half times as long as broad, of the same breadth as the 

 basal joint; apical joint minute, slender, cylindrical, tapering slightly, in length equal- 

 ling the breadth of the middle joint, and four times as long as broad, the tip bluntly 

 pointed. 



Prothoracic lobes pretty large, appressed, laminate; when viewed from the front, 

 rounded snbtriangular, half as long again as high, nearly as long as the shorter dia- 

 meter of the eye. Patagia large, the posterior lobe nearly half as b'road as the base 

 and as long as it, tapering slightly, the tip rounded oft", the whole piece considerably 

 shorter than the breadth of the head. 



Fore wing (42 :5 ) two-thirds as long again as broad; the lower outer angle falling 

 somewhat before the apical third of the costal margin ; costal margin gently convex 

 at base, beyond nearly straight; outer margin gently and pretty regularly convex; 

 inner margin very slightly concave in the apical half. Costal nervure terminating a 

 little beyond the middle of the costal margin; subcostal nervure moderately distant 

 from the costal margin, the second nervule arising at the middle of the wing; cell a 

 little more than three-lifths the length of the wing, of nearly equal width in the dis- 

 tal half ; the second median nervule arising a little further from the liase than the 

 second subcostal nervule; the first median at one-third the distance from the 

 second median to the base ; internal nervure short, straight. 



Hind wing hardly a fifth longer than broad, well rounded; the costal region 

 •strongly lobed at the base, gently convex beyond; the outer margin well rounded, 

 fullest in the lowest subcostal region; the anal angle subangulate. First subcostal 

 and median nervules arising at equal distances from the base; the second median 

 nervule about halfway between the base and the margin. 



Legs 2,3,1; femora clothed as in Erynnis ; tibiae furnished above with distant, 

 short, delicate spines, those of fore tibiae inconspicuous. Femora 2, 1,3; tibiae 2, 3, 1 ; 

 tarsi 2, 3, 1. Fore femora slightly longer than the hind pair and three-fourths the 

 length of the middle pair. Fore tibiae less than two-thirds the length of the fore 

 femora, scarcely more than half as long as the middle tibiae, which are scarcely 

 longer than the hind pair. Leaf-like appendage of fore tibiae long and slender, 

 originating on the middle of the apical four-flfths of the joint, surpassing it a 

 little, tapering to a point on the apical third, a little arcuate, about five times as
