1046 Additions: HESPERIDAE. By Dr. M. Dbaudt. 



Genus Everes. 



Add to E. comyntas Godt. (p. 818, t. 144 i) as synonym: (= sissona Wright), and as its form: f. herrii 

 Grin, whifli belongs hereto, not to amyntula. 



Genus Heniiar^iis. 



Add to H. gyas Edw. (p. 819) as synonyma: (= astragalus ICr., florencia Clem.), and f. zachaeina 

 Btlr. <£• Drc. as the form from South Texas, Mexico and more to the south. 



Add to H. cyna Edw. (p. 819) as synonym: (= mehi Sireck.). 



H. hanno Stoll (\). 819). Of the synonyma mentioned here hamo Luc. and artenides Bsd. are to be 

 eliminated, both presumably belonging to a West Indian species which is at present not to be identified for 

 certain and which is mentioned by Hubner as hanno (Exot. Schmett. I, t. 98), though it has nothing to 

 do with hanno Stoll and nuich rather resembles gyas Edw. 



Hesperidae. 



The most difficult chapter of the diurnal lepidoptera has in the meantime gone through many far- 

 reaching alterations which makes our whole work appear to require a revision. 



Particularly the North American fauna has, by tlie indefatigable studies especially of Baenes, Mc. 

 DuNNOUGH, Benjamin and Lindsey so entirely been overthrown in contrast to the basis used in Dyar's 

 Catalogue, that it has an entirely different aspect now. The types of many species have quite wrongly been 

 determined. Thanks to the kind aid of the gentlemen mentioned above — especially Mr. Foster, H. Ben- 

 jamin in a most disinterested way put at our disposal a great deal of literature and ty^jcwritten notes. — 

 we are able to-day to supply a considerably better survey. Still we are aware that many, particularly of 

 the tropical species, being but insufficiently known or described according to single specimens, have been 

 wrongly ranged with us or are synonyma. For corrections that may serve for later supi^lcmcntary data we 

 shall always be obliged. 



Genus I*j'rrli«p;»'ge. 



For P. araxes Hew. (p. 839, t. 162 e) together with arizonae G. <£• (S*. a new genus has been established 

 by Lindsey: Apyrrothrix, chiefly founded on the somewhat different shape of the wings. 



Genus Mimoiiiades. 



rhanchama- M. fityusa Hew. (p. 846, t. 164 a). — The f. chanchamayonis Strd. has on the forewings somewhat 



yonis. l^roader, on the hindwing narrower light discal bands; both are anteriorly not connected. Near the margin 



of the hindwing 4 or 5 bluish sublimbal spots. From the Chanchamayo (Peru). 



mapirica. A. ■pardalina Fldr. (p. 847, t. 164 g). — The form mapirica Strd. is distinguished by a narrower, uni- 



coloured, bluish-black marginal band of the hindwing and more distinctly separated subapical spots of the 



forewing. From the Rio Mapiri. 



Genus Myscelus. 



rogcr.si. M. fogersi Kaye is to be inserted on p. 848 after M. orfhrns. It forms the intermediary between 



orthrm Hew. and phoronis (165 a), being more allied to the latter from which it differs by white instead of 

 yellow hyaline spots. The veins are scarcely marked, black, beneath the yellow scaling is strongly reduced; 

 by a broad black band the lemon-coloured basal part is separated from the quite brown distal half. Ex- 

 panse of wings: 57mm. Trinidad. 

 jirrissofiora. M. perissodofa Dyar is to be inserted after AI. pegasus (p. 848, t. 165 b) near which it belongs. Above 



with a faint bronze lustre, dark red-brown, with black veins and 3 large hyaline spots through the disc, a 

 large, quadrangular one in the cell, a somewhat larger, rectangular one below it, and a triangular submedian 

 one. A subapical bent row of 5 small spots, below them two more. Hindwing with a darker median band. 

 Hindwing beneath black, in the basal half light yellow, at the proximal margin with a black spot. E.Kpanse 

 of wings: 52mm. Described from Mexico (Misantla, in June).
