Male with a tuft of hairs on upperside of hind wing at base of 

 submedian nervure. 



semihijalina, Fekler 1.

Messrs. Godmaii and Salvin consider the annulatus of Mabillc to 

 be in all probability the female of a species of Oxijnetra. 



II. Genus Microceris, nov. (Plate 1. fig. 3.) 



Type, variicolor. Men. 



Anteuuse : club rather more pointed than in Pyrrhopjige. Va\\)\ 

 as in Fijrr1wp\jge. Middle and lower discocellulars subequal, in- 

 wardlj' oblique ; veins 7 and 8 stalked, i, e. anastomosing, for a 

 short portion of their length ; vein 3 about twice as far from 2 as 

 from 4. Hind wing: outer margiu crenulated ; vein 7 just before 

 end of cell ; vein 5 wanting ; vein 3 from end of cell ; vein 2 consider- 

 ably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing. Fore tibiae very 

 short. Hind tibia; with two pairs of spurs.

12. Genus Myscelus. 



Myscelus, Hiibner, Verz. bek. Schraett. p. 110 (1816). 



Type, nobilis, Cramer. 



Antennae hooked, ending in a blunt point ; club comparatively 

 slender, only about twice as thick as shaft. Outer margin slightly 

 longer than inner margin. Cell reaching to more than two-thirds 

 the length of costa. Discocellulars very oblique in the same straight 

 line. Vein 5 nearer to 4 than to 6. Vein 3 from just before end 

 of cell, more than twice as far from 2 as from end of cell. Hind 

 wing very creuulate, rather squared at anal angle. Hind tibiae with 

 two pairs of spurs, both tibiae and femora being densely fringed on 

 their inner edge.

Subfamily II. H e s p e r 1 1 n ^. 



Section A. 



Antennae : club usually bent into a hook, but sometimes sickle- 

 shaped, always terminating in a fine point. Third joint of palpi 

 either minute, or else porrected horizontally in front of the face, as 

 in section C of the Pamphilince, never curving over the vertex. 

 Cell of fore wing always more than two thirds the length of costa. 

 Discocellulars generally very oblique. Vein 5 slightly nearer either 

 to 4 or to 6, never conspicuously close to either. Hind wing 

 frequently with a tail or tooth at submedian. Vein 5 never fully 

 developed except in a few Old-World genera. 



The length of the cell of the fore wing will serve to separate this 

 section.
