Hesperia proxima, Ploetz, S. E. Z. vol. xlvii. p. 95 (1886). 
Hab. West Africa (Ploetz). 
I only know this species from a copy of the drawing by Ploetz. 
In the form of the wings it suggests affinity to the species which 
I have located in the genus Cenides, but it probably does not 
belong there. 
ARTITROPA, gen. Nov. 
Antenne moderately long, more than half the length of the 
costa of the primaries; club robust, elongated, terminating in a 
short tine point slightly recurved. Palpi stout, erect, reaching the 
top of the vertex; the second and third joints are densely clothed 
with hair; the third joint is minute, almost concealed in the 
vestiture of the second joint. The legs have the tibiw scantily

clothed with long hair; those of the posterior pair are armed with 
a median and double terminal spurs. The primaries have the costa 
slightly rounded ; the inner and the outer margins are subequal, 
evenly rounded ; the cell is two-thirds the length of the costa, with 
the upper angle acute, the lower angle obtuse; vein 5 slightly 
nearer vein 4 than vein 6; vein 12 terminates on the costa before 
the end of the cell; vein 7 arises slightly before the end of the 
cell ; vein 2 is more than twice as far from vein 3 as vein 3 is 
from vein 4 and is equidistant between vein 3 and the base. The 
cell of the secondaries is short; vein 5 is present and distinct; _ 
vein 3 and vein 7 arise well before the end of the cell; the outer - 
margin is rounded and slightly excavated above the termination of 
vein 16. 
Type A. erinnys, Trimen. 
I have erected this genus for the reception of the following 
species, which are distinguished from all other near allies in the 
genus Cenides and allied genera by the shape of the club of the 
antennz, by their more robust form, and by their peculiar style 
of coloration. They form a well-marked group.
