Family : Hesperiid^e. 



This family has already been described under the name of 

 Hesperiinae (antea p. 84), and is divisible into at least two well-marked 

 subfamilies : (1) The Phocidinae, named from the Phocidae of Hiibner, 

 of which Phocides, Hb. (type palaemon, Cram., nee palaemon, Pall.), is 

 one of the typical genera ; (2) Hesperiinae, containing the typical 

 genus, Hesperia, Fab. (type rnalvae, Linn.) These two families roughly 

 include the Astycid sections of Hiibner, i.e., Celebres (excluding 

 Pyrrhopygae) , Fortes, For males, Veteres, Vulgares, Cauti (excluding the 

 Mysceli), and Juvenes (excluding the Carysti and Cobali) (op. cit., pp. 

 102 et seq.). The Phocidinae is an almost entirely New World sub- 

 family, only a few genera, with one or two species each, occurring in
