Generic Description 
^Edeagus in a very general way allied to Pseudochrysops, 
smaller, stubbier, from just under 0.65 to just over 0.8 long; 
suprazonal portion about half or just over one-half the subzonal 
one; ventral side of suprazonal sheath notched distally; vesical 
opening beginning at about half-way or two-thirds from the 
zone on dorsal side, at first very narrow, with distinct lateral 
portions then brusquely allowing the vesica to expand ; the latter 
very plump (facing more or less distad), in lateral view not 
unlike a pin cushion, in dorsal view resembling a bourbon 
crown; set with about 120-160 comparatively large (0.003) 
cornuti in several regular rows of about ten and more or less 
distinctly divided by the thin point of Chapman’s process ; alulae 
and subzonal portion of the usual type in the subfamily, the 
former about 0.1 long, the latter compressed laterally, broader 
in lateral than in ventral or dorsal view. Furca small, slightly 
shorter than the subzonal portion, more efficiently holding it in 
the forking than in Old World types. Sagum well developed, 
consisting of two convex (ventrad) lobes about 0.4 long by 0.2 
broad, connected at the zone with the alulae, and below the zone 
with the points of the furca, converging in front (i.e., on the 
ventral side) of the aedeagus in the manner of a stiffly bulging 
short waistcoat, too ample as it were for the body it encloses, 
and edged at and along its margins (which appear distally pro- 
jected in lateral view and thus differ from other sagum bearing 
genera to be discussed) with conspicuous teeth reaching 0.03 in 
length. Uncus, especially falces, extremely small and weak. 
Falx allied in type only to one Old World genus, namely Aricia ; 
in shape resembling a beheaded dromedary, the part of the 
“neck” being taken by the straight, rather bluntly tapering, 
plain-tipped vertical projection (forearm) of the falx, and the 
“hump” being represented by the high evenly shaped vertical 
shoulder of the medially thickish, straight, rather long hori-
