inseparable in structure from nt/ctineme, and the prehensores of both 

 species are very similar. 



Butler's male type of nyctineme is a female, his female type being 

 an unidentified species of the genus Camptopleura ; the true male of 

 nyctineme does not differ appreciably in markings from the female, 

 though it differs of course in the secondary sexual characters of the 

 genus, and also slightly in shape of wings, as in other species of the 

 genus. 



Confined to tropical America. 



24. Genus Eantis. (Plates I. fig. 10 ; IT. fig. 14 ; III. fig. 17.) 

 Eantis, Boisd. Spec. Gen. pi. 9 b (183G). Type, husiris, Cram, 

 Antcnnee : club very slender, hardly thicker timn shaft, evenly 

 curved, terminating in a fine point. Palpi as in Annstrus, Fore 

 wing : apex conspicuously falcate, outer margin very convex ; inner 

 margin sHghtly longer than outer margin ; cell less than two-thirds 

 the length of costa : vein 12 reaching costa at about half its length, 

 considerably before the end of cell ; middle discocellular erect, 

 lower discocellular inwardly oblique, the lower the longer ; vein 3 

 well before end of cell, less than twice as far from vein 2 as from 4 ; 

 vein 2 nearer to base of wing than to end of cell. Hind wing 

 much produced in median area, giving a very square appearance to 

 the wing ; cell short ; vein 7 shortly before the end of cell ; disco- 

 cellulars barely traceable ; vein 5 almost invisible ; vein 3 shortly 

 before the end of cell, slightly nearer to 4 than to 2 ; vein 2 nearer 

 to end of cell than to base of wing. Hind tibiae with two pairs of 

 spurs, and in the male with a tuft of liairs attached near the proximal 

 end. 



In the male of busiris there is also a tuft of short hairs on a black 

 silky patch of closely appressed scales at the extreme base of the 

 costal margin on upperside of hind wing, and a precisely similar 

 patch on underside of fore wing at origin of vein 1. This sexual 

 character is not found in any other species of the genus.
