attached) to the level of the base of the penis proper and almost 
as broad as long; meeting in front (i.e. ventrally) of the aede- 
agus at about one third of the subzonal portion from the zone, 
overlapping for a short stretch, then parting again; these front 
edges coarsely serrated, and the whole praemarginal portion of 
each lobe strengthened ventrally by an additional sharply lo- 
calized granulation of the chitinous surface (similar to the 
shagreened ventrum of the aedeagus as seen in the V-shaped 
anterior parting of the lobes), a character not found elsewhere 
in the subfamily. Uncus small, resembling Pseudothecla and 
also the unique plebejinoid uncus 1 of the holotropical Zizula 
gaika Trimen ( Lyccena cyna Edwards) in Brephidinoe. Falx 
still more curved than in Echinargus , differing from Hemiargus 
as a beckoning index does from a warning one; the whole out- 
line from point of forearm to base of humerulus evenly rounded, 
with a gently sloping shoulder, thus quite different from the 
“cameloid” falces of the three preceding genera. Uncus lobe 
still more tending to a hatchet shape than in Echinargus (and 
thus resembling Eumedonia) . Valve of a typical holarctic shape, 
with bullula; elongated, nicely angled at Bayard’s point, rather 
exactly three times as long as broad and at least twice longer 
than the aedeagus, with a sparsely serrated rostellum. 
Female: henia long and thin, with a plate-like chitinisation 
at the tip. 
Pseudolucia chilensis Blanchard 
(figs, chi, pi. 5) 
Three males and one female (all ex coll. Weeks, Mus. Comp. 
Zool.) investigated: prep. 619, “Central Chile, 1882-1885, leg 
H. B. James”; 485, 534, “Penco, Chile”; 2 533, id. 
Rostellum about 0.2 long by 0.03 broad (at curve), incurved 
as in Echinargus isola but serrated i.e. ending in a beak-like tip, 
its inner margin concave (fitting the upper, convex, margin of 
the mentum in situ), its outer (distad facing) edge below the 
curve sparsely toothed: four teeth in all counting the “heel” of 
the abrupt curvature as first, the two next slightly larger and 
slightly incurved projections as second and third, and the beak 
of the rostellum as fourth. Other male characters covered by 
1 This and the Catochrysopince-Wke. features of the Parachilades (and less dis- 
tinctly -Chilades) falx constitute the only two links between the Plebejince and 
other subfamilies.
