HESPERIOIDEA OF AMERICA 



103 



Genus THESPIEUS Godman & Salvin 

 Thespieus G. & S., Biol. Cent.-Am., Rhop. n, 519, 1900. Type 

 Hesperia dalmani Latr. 

 This genus is very close to Calpodes and the male genitalia of 

 the two illustrated by Godman and Salvin are similar, but I 

 have very little material of Thespieus and have not seen the 

 typical species, so I hesitate to sink it. 



1. THESPIEUS MACAREUS 



Goniloba macareus H.-S., Corr. Blatt Eegensb. xxm, 192, 1869. 

 Biol. Cent.-Am., Ehop. n, 520, pi. 96, ff. 41-43, 1900. 

 Skinner, Ent. News xm, 183, 1902. 



Macareus has been recorded from the southwestern part of our country 

 and Marco Id., Fla. ; I have not seen the species. 



Genus CALPODES Hiibner 

 Calpodes Hbn., Verz. bek. Schmett. 

 107, 1820. Type Papilio eth- 

 lius Cr. 

 Palpi upturned, closely ap- 

 pressed; third joint small, almost 

 entirely concealed. The palpi re- 

 semble those of most species of 

 Group A of the Hesperiinae. An- 

 tennae less than one-half as long as 

 primaries ; club stout, apiculus ex- 

 ceeding thickness of club, sharply 

 reflexed. Primaries with the apex 

 produced and subtruncate, longer 

 in the female than in the male; 

 secondaries strongly lobed at the 

 anal angle, broader and more 



rounded in the female than in the male. Neuration as in Prenes. 

 Mid tibiae with short prostrate spines on the inner surface.
