HESPEEIOIDEA OF AMERICA 19 



costal fold in the male. Cell over two-thirds as 

 long as wing. Vein 5 nearer to 6 than to 4; L. 

 D. C. long and strongly curved. Vein 3 near 

 end of cell and 2 well toward base of wing. Ee- 

 current vein faint, at base of vein 4. Secondaries 

 produced toward anal angle with outer margin 

 sharply bent at lb but not lobed. Outer margin 

 only slightly irregular. Phocides is easily rec- 

 ognized by the general habitus of the species 

 when once seen. Fig. 2. 



The action of former writers in combining 

 these three genera was undoubtedly correct, 

 though some slight differences of structure exist 

 between the species occurring in our country. ^.^ ^ phoddes ba-
