HESPERIOIDEA OF A^iIERICA 95 



Pamphila cestui Wright, (not Edw,), Butt. W. Coast 249, pi. xxxn, f. 

 482, 1905. 



Arizona. 



This species was described to correct a common misconception of cestus 

 and the types are undoubtedly distinct from the species on which the de- 

 scription of cestus was based. I believe that the name will fall before 

 Hesperm ovinia Hew., illustrated in the Biologia (PI. 97, ff. 1, 2, 1900) un- 

 der the name Thespi^us ovinia. The type of ovinia in the British Museum 

 will have to be examined to settle the matter definitely, but even from the 

 figures it is easy to see that the species can hardly belong in Ihespieus. 



Genus OLIGORIA Seudder 

 Oligoria Scud., Syst. R«v. 61, (82), 1872. Type Hesperia ma- 

 culata Edw. 



Structure not much different from Afryfoyiopsls. Male pri- 

 maries less apically prolonged and without stigma. Vein 5 near- 

 er to 4 than in the preceding genus. Middle tibiae with a few 

 long spines. Apiculus of antennae abruptly constricted, sharp- 

 ly reflexed, verv' slender and usually about twice as long as 

 thickness of club. 



Dyar remarks (Jn. X. Y. Ent. Soc. xm, 137, 1905) that he 

 is unable to separate this genus from Lerodea and therefore 

 places maculata in the latter. He is followed in this by Barnes 

 and McDunnough in the Check List, but the differences between 

 maculata and eufaJa are so striking that they must be separated. 

 Since maculata agrees with no other genus known to me, I retain 

 Oligoria for the one species. Fig. 28.
