rounded than in the typical forms of Spindasis, to which C. 

 acamas and all the well-known types belong. 



Of African species which have been referred erroneously to 

 Cigaritis, C. leroma falls into Wallengren's genus Crudaria, 

 which chiefly differs from typical Chrysophanus in the tailed 

 secondaries ; whereas C. zeuxo and C. abbottii appear to differ in 

 no respect from Chrysophanus. 



Zeritis lycegenes, Z. lyncurium, and Z. pyroeis of Trimen 

 (which have been placed in Cigaritis in collections) differ in 

 structure, and may be placed in — 



Pojicilmitis, gen. nov. 

 Allied to Chrysophanus, but differing in having five (instead 

 of four) branches to the subcostal vein of primaries. Type, 

 Z. lycegenes. 



I have not examined P. lyncurium, but, judging by the figures, 

 it must be nearly related to P. lycegenes.

$ . Lobes of head subequal in length, apical margin of posterior 

 lobe emarginate ; rostrum reaching beyond apical margin of pro- 

 sternum, first segment nearly one-half longer than second, third 

 slightly longer than first. Pronotum at the base with a very distinct 

 collar (sinuately margined anteriorly) ; meso- and metathorax fused, 

 a pronounced carina between the intermediate coxae, and another 

 between the posterior coxae. Anterior femur with a very long (one- 

 tenth of the length of the femur) spine, not quite one-half of the entire 

 length of the femur from its base, and a double row of medium-sized 

 spines and of small spinelets, extending from the longest spine to the 

 apex. The long spine is directed distinctly anteriorly, the others are 

 nearly perpendicular. Anterior tibia reaching (when folded) to three- 

 tenths of the length of the femur from its apex, tarsus reaching not 

 quite so far as the long spine. Tibia dilated towards the apex (which 

 is provided with a short tuft of hair) and armed beneath, along its 

 entire length, with short subequal spinelets. Intermediate and poste- 

 rior femora and tibiae somewhat obsoletely spined, the tibiae slightly 

 curved outwards ; claws, two on each tarsus, anterior very minute, 

 others longer, falcate. Elytra rudimentary, not reaching to base of 

 metanotum. Dorsal sutures of first five abdominal segments very 

 obsoletely indicated. 



Proportionate measurements. — Head 30 (15 + 15); pronotum 45 

 (40 + 5), meso- and metathorax 65 ; abdomen 230. Antennas 125 :
