The genus JEgialc seems to me to belong rather to the 

 Castiiiidcc than to the Hesperidw, for not oidy does it differ 

 remarkably from all the genera of the latter family in 

 neuration, but in its small palpi and comparatively narrow 

 head, thickened antenuic, clumsy legs and apparently 

 flexible abdomen.
