Holland: The Lepidoptera of the Isle of Pines. 501 



p. 279, states that this species replaces in the Antilles, and is but 

 "slightly different" from, Eiidamus dorantes Stoll. Through the 

 great kindness of Mr. Godman the Carnegie Museum possesses a 

 considerable number of species of neotropical Hesperiidae from his 

 collection, presented to this museum about the time when Mr. God- 

 man was transferring the main collection as a gift to the British 

 Museum. Among the specimens given to the Carnegie Museum is a 

 series of four labeled " E. Santiago ^ Two of these are from St. 

 Vincent, and one from Grenada, all taken by H. H. Smith. They 

 are quite like E. dorantes. The fourth specimen is labeled "Cuba," 

 and agrees precisely with the long suite of specimens before me from 

 the Isle of Pines. But this Cuban specimen derived from Mr. God- 

 man and all of the specimens in the collection upon which I am now 

 reporting are strikingly different from the St. Vincent and Granada 

 insects, and from examples of E. dorantes from the American main- 

 land. They are much darker on the under side, the spots are con- 

 fluent, and the bands which they form arrange themselves as clouded 

 markings on the outer third of the secondaries somewhat as is the 

 case in E. iindulatus Hewitson, which they seem to recall more than 

 they do E. dorantes. 



There are eighty-nine specimens in the collection, males and females, 

 which were without exception taken at Nueva Gerona. The dates 

 of capture range from May 6 until the end of August. 



Genus Phocides Hiibner. 



43. Phocides batabano (Lucas). 



Eudamus batabano (Lefebvre MS.) Lucas, in Sagra's Hist. Natural de Cuba, VII, 

 1856, p. 268. 



Represented by three specimens taken at Nueva Gerona, from July 

 29 to August 28. 



Genus Epargyreus Hiibner. 



44. Epargyreus maysi (Lucas). (Plate XXXI, figs. 11, 12.) 

 Eiidamus maysi (Lefebvre MS.) Lucas, in Sagra, I. c, p. 269. 



The insect, which I positively identify as E. maysi Lucas, is repre- 

 sented in the collection by a series of twenty-four specimens, males 

 and females. On the upper side there is a striking resemblance to 

 Proteides idas var. san antonio (Lucas), but the under side is wholly 

 different, as shown in the figures on Plate XXXI. On this side the
