HESPERIOIDEA OP AMERICA 55 



form TATIUS 

 Tlianaos tatius Edw., Papilio n, 179, 1882. 

 Arizona, April, June, July, September. 



17. THANAOS FUNERALIS 



Nisoniades funeralis Scud. & Burg., Proc. Bost. Soe. Nat. Hist, xm, 293, 



f. 7, 1870. 

 Holland, Butterfly Book 336, pi. xi.viii, f. 12, 1898. 

 Wright, Butt. W. Coast 253, pi. xxxn, f. 468 and 464 (not clitus), 1905. 



California, June. Arizona, Texas and Colorado, June and July. March 

 in the far south. The rather narrow primaries, of a dull, brownish color, 

 and the broad secondaries are unlike the other species of the genus. 



The two following species cannot be fixed at present to any known form: 



18. THANAOS PLAUTU8 



Nisoniades plautus Scud. & Burg., Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist, xm, 304, 

 f. 16, 1870. 

 Described from Florida. The figure of the genitalia has some points of 

 similarity with the genitalia of juvenalis. 



19. THANAOS LILIUS 



Thanaos lilius Dyar, Proc. U. S. N. M. xxvn, 788, 1904. 



Dyar states (Jn. N. Y. Ent. Soc. xm, 122) that the genitalia 

 of lilius are similar to those of tibidlus (=propertius) , while 

 Skinner's description of them in his "Studies" suggests those of 

 callidus, which was not correctly fixed at the time when his paper 

 was written. Apparently lilius will fall before one of these two 

 species, but an examination of the genitalia of the type will be 

 necessary to settle the matter. I am greatly indebted to Dr. 

 McDunnough for his notes on these species, for all data which 

 I am able to give here are based on his researches. 



Genus TIMOCHARES Godman & Salvin 

 Timochares G. & S., Biol. Cent.-Am., Rhop. n, 417, 1896. Type 

 LeucocMtonea trifascmta Hew. 

 Palpi moderately large, much as in Thanaos, with a hairy 

 second joint and a stout, conical third joint, Antennae less 

 than one-half as long as primaries; club moderate, fusiform, 

 curved. Costa of primaries convex, with a long fold in the 

 male; apex rectangular, subtruncate; outer margin rounded 

 from vein 6 to anal angle. Secondaries trigonate; inner margin
