Hesperia, Fabr., is rejected because the first section of it is not 
typical, but as the first section does not agree with the description, it 
is evident that it was never intended to be typical, but was placed first 
for convenience sake: the description says, “antenne sepius uncinnate,” 
and the Lycenide have nothing of the kind, but the second section 
begins with a hooked antenna, and is doubtless typical of the genus 
Hesperia ; Pyrgus, which has been suggested to me as synonymous with 
Hesperia, has no hook to its antenne. 
Leucochitonea, Wllgr. (part) does not seem to me to be identical 
with Brontiades. Hiibn., and as I do not agree with Dr. Herrich-Schiffer 
in determining that an insect which I have never seen is not congeneric 
with P. niveus of Cramer I prefer to retain the latter in Lewcochitonea 
until I have substantial evidence of its distinctness. 
The genera seem chiefly to be determined from the spines on the 
legs, which appear to me by no means so safe a character as the antenne, 
although I admit that in the genus Pamphila, the latter seem to vary 
ad libitum ; this is, however, the one genus in the family, which seems 
to be in a state of transition.
