representation of the female of otreus = zephodes from the eastern end 

 of Cuba, which was taken by Kaden, and by us received from j\Ir. 

 Godman. It is quite like females I have from Haiti, and represents the 

 true M. otreus. 



The collection from the Isle of Pines contains nine males and 

 twelve females taken at Nueva Gerona, the dates of capture ranging 

 from May 6 to August 28, 1912. They are all characterized by the 

 great reduction of the vitreous spots in the primaries.

The collection includes thirty-seven specimens of this common 

 neotropical skipper, of which nine are females. They were all taken 

 at Nueva Gerona from the beginning of June to near the end of 

 August, 1912. 



Genus Ancyloxypha Felder. 



53. Ancyloxypha (?) nanus (Herrich-Schaeffer). 



Thytnelicus nanus Herrich-Schaeffer, Corr. Blatt. Regensb., XIX, 1865, p. 52. 



This insect is referred by Mabille with doubt to the genus Copceodes 

 to which it certainly does not belong, as has been pointed out by 

 Godman in the Biologia {Rhopalocera, Vol. II, p. 473). I assign it 

 provisionally to the genus Ancyloxypha, to which it comes much 

 nearer than it does to Copceodes, and to which it may indeed belong, 

 though I cannot be sure until a dissection has been made.
