Affinities. — This is a well-marked group of closely -allied genera 

 which show no close relationship with any other genera of the 

 Besperiidce ; their habits and general fades agree best with the genera 

 contained in the subfamily Pamphik'ncs ; their neuration, however, 

 appears to have more resemblance to that found in the HesperiincB ; as 

 suggested above, they might possibly with advantage be treated as a 

 distinct sub-family.
