Genus IX CYCLOPIDES. 



Cyclopides Hiihner. 

 Steropes Boisduval. 



Head as broad as the thorax. 



Labial Palpi remote apart, very hirsute, porrected as long as the head ; terminal joint very minute, conical, 

 nearly concealed by the hairs of the preceding joint. 



Antennce short, with the club stout, slightly curved, not hooked at the tip, which is obtuse. 

 Wings, when at rest, erect. 



Fore Wings long ; fringe entire, not spotted. Disc dark brown, with oi-ange-coloured spots, alike in both sexes. 

 The males without a recurved costa, or a thickened oblique streak on the disc. 



Hind Wings short, broad, entire ; spotted in the same manner as the fore wings. 



Hind Legs with the tibise destitute of a pair of spurs in the middle. 

 ABDOiiEN, especially in the males, long and slender, with the tip slightly tufted. 



Boisduval's name, Steropes, is rejected not only because of the priority of Hiibner's name, but also because there is a Coleopterous 

 genus, .Stei-ojjus, and the name Steropes is that of one of the European species. The peculiar character of the want of the middle pair 

 of spurs in the hind legs was first pointed out by myself, as an exceptional character of the group, eleven years ago, in British Butterjlics 

 and their Transformations. I have also observed this character in an undescribed North American species allied to Pauiscus ; but it 

 is remarkable that in the South African H. Metis the hind tibiai have two pairs of spurs, as in the great majority of the family. The 

 insect represented in Plate LXXIX. f. 4., as an example of the genus, is an aberrant species, and seems closely allied to H. Edipus of 

 Cramer. It is evidently nearly related to some of the species of Pamphila.
