1050 Additions: HESPERIDAE. By Dr. M. Draudt. 



Insert after M. pelopidas F. on p. iS97: 



brasllicola. M. brasilicola Sird. (? = decens i. 1.) (178 b, as decens). Wliitish, densely dusted with grey, on the 



hindwing less so ; the forewing shows a deep brown antemedian band being broader at the costal margin and 

 ending pointed at the proximal margin, distally undulate; a postdiscal transverse line is proximally defined 

 on the lower radial vein and above it inside broadly dusted with brown: in front of it below the costal 

 margin a small white hyaline dot; an antemarginal brown line is towards the apex broadly triangular. Hind- 

 wing in the basal quarter more densely dusted with grey, distally bordered by a dark line, with a fine 

 postdiscal transverse line and faint traces of an antemarginal line. Beneath somewhat lighter, marked the 

 same, but the forewing is without the brown antemedian band, and at the anal angle of the hindwing is 

 a round dark spot. South Peru, Brazil. 



Genus Xeuopliaues. 



H. tryxiis Cr. (p. 898, t. 175 c) has also been taken in Texas (Brownsville) in July. 



Genus £aiitis. 



E. ihraso Hhn. (p. 902, t. 170 b). We add hereto as synonym: tameuutid Edw. The species was also 

 taken in Texas in May and July. 



Genus ^tapliylu.s. 



*S^/. brerrus G. d- S. (p. 905, t. 176 f) is said to occur also in the southern part of North America. 

 arhoHPHsis. — The form arizonensis Mah. <£• B. will probably be the northern form, but unfortunately no particulars 

 about it were to be obtained. 



Add to p. 905, line 8 from below: 



sodcdis. St. sodalis Sdis. (189 a) is very closely allied to the preceding, it is smaller, also the spots are smaller, 



the distal ones in a dentate, oblique line. Expanse of wings: 29 mm. El Alto (Costa Rica). 



Add to p. 906, line 19 from below: 



machiira. St. machuca Schs. (189 i) seems to be allied to the preceding, but it has 3 small subapical dots; 



in the lighter distal margin of the forewing there are between the veins darker marginal spots. Beneath the 

 costal margin is scaled iridescent green; basal half and proximal margin of hindwing strewn \\ith whitish. 

 Throat white. Anterior femora grey. Expanse of wings: 26 mm. Costa Rica. 



Genus Tinioehares. 



T. trifasclatus Hew. (p. 907, t. 177) also occurs in tlie southern part of North America. 



Genus Miltoiuiges. 



Add to the end of the genus on p. 911: 



rertirclii. M. vcrticalis Plotz. Above brown with a broad chestnut-brown costal margin in the basal half and 



anterior body, fringes reddish-Iirown. On the forewing a strangulated cellular spot is fused with the postdiscal 

 spot below it, farther distally above it 2 more spots. Beneath the apex of the forewing is broad red-brown 

 like the hindwing; the latter is densely strewn with a lilac grej' at the distal margin and in the basal half 

 except the costal margin, so that a broad median band remains brown. Brazil. 



cormnodus. M. commodus Plotz is similar, the spots are smaller, the cellular spot is absent. Also beneath very 



similar, but much more variegated, of a brighter red and violet with the smaller spots. Brazil. Schaus in 

 describing Carystus subnifescens (p. 981) states that the species is closely allied to commodus, both may 

 therefore belong to Carystus or to this genus. 



Genus Plioli^ora. 



Add to Ph. alpheus Edw. (p. 913, t. 177 i) as synonym: oricus Edw. — For alpheus, libya and its 

 h-na. paler though intensely spotted form lena Edw. a separate genus was established by Dyar: Hesperopsis.
