HESPERID.E. 



Genus XI ACHLYODES. 



AcHLYODES Hilbner. 

 Eantis Boisduval. 



BoDT robust ; wings very large, irregular shaped. 



Labial Palpi densely hairy, porrected about the length of the head, slightly remote. Terminal joint very 



slender, horizontal, short, not reaching much beyond the hairs of the second joint. 

 Antennce long, slender, gradually thickening from a little beyond the middle, with an elongated slender curved 



club, with the tip slightly recurved and very acute. 

 Fore Wings very large, broad, and destitute of pellucid spots. Costal margin sometimes dilated. Apical angle 



sometimes produced into a point ; apical margin considerably dilated in the middle. Veins arranged as in 



Pamphila. 

 Hi7id Wings broad, more or less rounded ; the anal angle not produced. Outer margin entire. Veins as in 



Pamphila. 

 Hind Legs (in the males ?) with a very long brush of hairs on the inside of the tibite near the base. Tibia2 short, 



with two pairs of spurs. Tarsi long. 



The irregular form of the wiugs, in the species here grouped together, constitute the prominent character of this genus ; and it is on 

 this account that I have added to them the curious species represented in Plate LXXIX. f. 8., under the name of Hesperia sanguinalis. 

 A. Thrasybulus, and some other allied species, seem to approach nearly to Nisoniades Tages.
