HALOTUS. By Dr. M. Draidt. 943 



St. textor Hb)i. (= oneko Scddr., waculla Edir.) (183 b) is easily recognized by its peculiarly marked /,.,/<,/•. 

 under surface and not to be mistaken: greyish-brown, with somewhat lighter veins, on the forewing with one 

 yellowish-white macular line, on the hindwing with two. being connected at the costal margin and in the middle. 

 iSouthern Atlantic States. 



St. satnoset Scddr. (= hegon Scddr.. nenioris Edir., alternata Git. d- Bob.) (1S3 b). Above ckrk brown, .^■«//«..^■,•/. 

 the grey fringes speckled somewhat darker: in the cell of the forewing there are 2 small white dots, 3 subapically 

 and postdiscally and at the proximal margin 3 more. Beneath light grey, forewing as above, hindwing with a 

 white macular band, cellular spot and a larger one in the middle of the costal niar'gin. Atlantic IStates. 



St. simius Edir. (183 b) is somewhat larger, subapical and postdiscal spots together form a yellowish- simin.-^. 

 red, subapically angular macular band. Hindwing in the disc reddish-yellow. Beneath very light, marked 

 as the preceding, but the macular band of the hindwing is darker, the cellular spot very lai'ge, and the base 

 of the hindwing whitish. South California, Arizona. 



St. cassus Edir. is allied to e.voie.ria and aenus (183a); forewing above brown, dusted with reddish- ra.^.su.s. 

 yellow, especially intensely in the inner-marginal area, with 3 small, ferruginous-yellow subapical dots and 

 an oblique discal row of spots. Hindwing except the dark costal margin dark reddish-yellow, not spotted. 

 Fringes whitish, at the veins darkened. Beneath the forewing is reddish-yellow in the discal and apical parts, 

 at the base and proximal margin black, at the apex dusted whitish. Hindwing brown, dusted white, at the 

 inner-marginal third reddish-yellow, spotted whitish. The $ is larger, darker, the spots more yellowish- 

 white. Arizona (Mt. Graham). 



St. tolteca Scddr. (183 b) resembles e.voteria. but it has a double white cellular spcit of the forewing, Inihcd. 

 the oblique row of spots is more curved, the o stigma different. Mexico. 



St. florus G. d- S. looks very much like Amhlys^irtes fluonia (183 a), but different by the stigma, iIoi-ks. 

 and the under surface is darker and more monotonous. Mexico. 



St. comus Edw. {= nilus Edw.) (183 b). Above lustrous greyish-l)rown. forewing with 3 minute '■"""'•-'•• 

 subapical dots, as well as 3 white spots below and behind the cell. Beneath lighter, the spots more distinct; 

 hindwing with 9 dots, 6 in one row parallel to the distal margin, 3 near the base. Texas, Mexico. 



St. nereus Edic. (183 b, c) is larger than coimi-s. the palpal terminal joint longer, the lower row of "'•'■'•"•"• 

 spots more distinct. From Arizona to Mexico. 



St. arabus Edic Above lustrous dark Ijrown, forewing with 3 small, semi-diaphanous subapical dots. 



tiralms. 



a cellular dot and 3 small postdiscal spots; fringes brown. Beneath brown, at the distal margin and apex dusted 

 greyish-brown. Hindwing greyish-brown, in the disc brown as far as the costal margin. Described according 

 to a $ taken in South Arizona in October. Expanse of wings: 1.3 inch. 



St. fusca Grt. lV Rob. is a small species with a somewhat protracted, pointed apex of the forewing itisra. 

 and a rather straight distal margin. Above uni-coloured olive-blackish, in an o.blique light with a slight golden 

 reflection; fringes somewhat lighter, not spotted. Beneath strewn with golden brown, especially the hindwing 

 strewn with a light golden coloiu" except an olive-blackish ray before the proximal margin. Georgia, Florida. 



St, oslari Skinner is similar, larger, above monotonously light brownish-black, the stigma a little o.s/«c;. 

 more blackish. Beneath the forewing exliibits a black basal spot above bordered with reddish-yellow; hindwing 

 on a dark brown ground strewn with white scales. Colorado (Chimney). 



St. gallio Mab. Above blackish-brown, the spots from beneath merely traceable. Beneath the same, (lallio. 

 with 3 light yellow subapical dots, below them in an oblique row some more towards the middle of the proximal 

 margin, the lowest being larger and white; costal margin with white striae; one in the middle of the cell and 

 2 small ones in the apex itself. Hindwing with 7 punctiform spots in a bent line, the uppermost being remote 

 from the others, the third from above prolonged and projecting, the lowest moon-shaped; distal margin strewn 

 with yellow, ends of veins bordered with yellow. Brazil. 



St. pupillatus M<ib. (183 c) is above greyish-brown, spots beneath grey or faintly whitish, fringes iiiiiii!liilu.<t. 

 reddish. Beneath reddish-!)rown. with a postdiscal row of prolonged, small, black punctiform spots as in the 

 Lycaena proximally bordered with whitish, also on the hindwing representing small eye-spots: the uppermost 

 is the largest, the 3rd double: in the cell a greyish-black spot. Bnlivia. 



100. Genus: Halotiis G. d- S. 



Different from Ambly-scirfei: by the more depressed middle radial vein of the forewing and the (j* stigma 

 which is double: a triangular part fills up the angle of the rise of the lower median vein, below it there is a 

 short longitudinal stripe. 



H. angellus PbMz (= saxula Mab.) (183c). Blackish-brown with a darker stigma: the forewing ,ni,jfliu.'^. 

 shows 2 minute subapical dots and 2 white spots below and behind the cell. Beneath blackish-brown with 

 the spots as above, the lower crescentiform : at the anal angle there is a dirty yellow stripe-shaped spot. Hindwing 

 with a lighter undulate band: fringes dark yellow, spotted black. Known fiom Costa Rica and Panama.
