1046 Additions: HESPERIDAE. By Dr. M. Dbaudt. 



Genus Everes. 



Add to E. comyntas Godt. (p. 818, t. 144 i) as synonym: (= sissona Wright), and as its form: f. herrii 

 Ch-in. which belongs hereto, not to amyntula. 



Genus Hemiar^iis. 



Add to H. gyas Ediv. (p. 819) as synonyma: (= astragalus Wr., florencia Clem.), and f. zachaeina 

 Btlr. cfc Drc. as the form from South Texas, Mexico and more to the south. 



Add to H. cyna Ediv. (p. 819) as sjrnonym: (= mela Streck.). 



H. hanno Stoll (p. 819). Of the s3aionyma mentioned liere harno Liic. and artenides Bsd. are to be 

 eliminated, both presumably belonging to a West Indian species which is at present not to be identified for 

 certain and which is mentioned by Htjbner as hanno (Exot. Schm.ett. I, t. 98), though it has nothing to 

 do with hanno Stoll and much rather resembles gyas Edw. 



Hesperidae. 



The most difficult chapter of the diurnal lepidoptera has in the meantime gone through many far- 

 reaching alterations which makes our whole work appear to require a revision. 



Particularly the North American fauna has, by the indefatigable studies especially of Barnes, Mc. 

 Dtjnnough, Benjamin and Lindsby so entirely been overthrown in contrast to the basis used in Dyar's 

 Catalogue, that it has an entirely different aspect now. The types of many species have quite wrongly been 

 determined. Thanks to the kind aid of the gentlemen mentioned above ■ — especially ilr. Foster, H. Ben- 

 jamin in a most disinterested way put at our disposal a great deal of literature and typewritten notes. — 

 we are able to-day to supply a considerably better survey. Still we are aware that many, particularly of 

 the tropical species, being but insufficiently known or described according to single specimens, have been 

 wrongly ranged with us or are synonyma. For corrections that may serve for later supplementary data we 

 shall always be obliged. 



Genus I*j'rrliopyge. 



For P. araxes Hew. (p. 839, t. 162 e) together with arizonae G. cfc *S^. a new genus has been established 

 by LiNDSEY: Apyrrothrix, chiefly founded on the somewhat different shape of the wings. 



Genus Miiuoiiiades. 



chanchama- M. fityusa Hew. (p. 846, t. 164 a). — ■ Tiie f. chanchamayonis Strd. has on the forewings somewhat 



yonis. broader, on the hind wing narrower light discal bands; both are anteriorly not connected. Near the margin 



of the hindwing 4 or 5 bluish sublimbal spots. From the Hranchamayo (Peru). 



mapirica. A. fardalina Fldr. (p. 847, t. 164 g). — The form mapirica Strd. is distinguished by a narrower, uni- 



coloured, bluish-black marginal band of the hindwing and more distinctly separated subapical spots of the 



forewing. From the Rio Mapiri. 



Genus Myscelus. 



rogersi. M. rogcrsl Kaye is to be inserted on p. 848 after M. orthrus. It forms the intermediary between 



orthrus Heiv. and phoronis (165 a), being more allied to the latter from which it differs by white instead of 

 yellow hj^aline spots. The veins are scarcely marked, black, beneath the yellow scaling is strongly reduced; 

 by a broad black band the lemon-coloured basal part is separated from the quite brown distal half. Ex- 

 panse of wings: 57mm. Trinidad. 

 perissodora. M. pcrissodora Dyar is to be inserted after 31. -pegasus (p. 848, t. 165 b) near which it belongs. Above 



with a fault bronze lustre, dark red-brown, with black veins and 3 large hyaline spots through the disc, a 

 large, quadrangular one in the cell, a somewhat larger, rectangular one below it, and a triangular submedian 

 one. A subapical bent row of 5 small spots, below them two more. Hindwing with a darker median band. 

 Hindwmg beneath black, in the basal half light yellow, at the proximal margin with a black spot. Expanse 

 of wings: 52mm. Described from Mexico (Misantla, in June).
