Palpares cataractae Pering. 



Figure — Peringuey; and Stitz (as ohsciiratiis). 



Third anal in h. w. runs into the second, and is connected once or 

 twice to the fourth anal. 



This has been redescribed by Stitz as P. inclemens W. var. 

 obscuratus. 



Palpares voeltzkowi Kolbe. 



Figure — Van der Weele, Madagascar, Figure 4. 



A remarkable species, not only on account of the almost 

 wholly black hind wings, but also in the very slender abdomen. 

 Van der Weele figures (p. 255) the male appendages. 



Palpares insularis McLach. 



Figure — Van der Weele, Madagascar, Figure 6, also the male appendages on 

 page 259. 



Fourth anal of f. w. with three branches and one or two cross-veins 

 to the third anal. Third anal of h. w. simple, two or three cross-veins 

 to second, none to fourth anal. Black band below antenuce present. 



P. hildebrandti is the same species. 



Palpares amitinus Kolbe. 



Figure — Van der Weele, Madagascar, Figure 7. 



Fourth anal of fore wings long, with four branches and four or five 

 connections to the third anal ; third anal of hind wings simple, with two 

 cross-veins to the second, none to the fourth. The legs are black; 

 there is a large interantennal mark reaching much below the antennse 

 as well as above from eye to eye; the outer apical margin of the fore 

 wings is slightly sinuated, as in several other species. 



Van der Weele also figures (p. 262) the male appendages 

 which are short like those of P. speciosus. 



Palpares furfuraceus Rambr. 



Figure — Navas (as equestris), Broteria, X, p. 56. 



Readily known by the greatly swollen vertex and fulvous 

 hair on thorax, which was noted by both describers. It occurs 

 in West Africa. 



Palpares sobrinus Pering. 



Figure — Peringuey, 1911, p. 33, Figure 3. 



I can find no differences between this species and P. nuda- 

 tus Navas; but I have not seen the type of either species; but 

 judge from the figures and descriptions. 



Palpares nyicanus Kolbe. 

 Figure — Kolbe, original; and Peringuey, 1911, p. 32, Figure 1 (as CEmuliis). 

 The third anal of h. w. runs apparently into the second, and with 

 four or five cross-veins to the fourth anal.
