TRAPEZITES. By Dr. C. Aurivillius. 
epimalchus. fringes yellow. Discal spot I b of the forewing above short (transparent ? ?). Madagascar. — epimalchus Oberth. 
perroti. Discal spot 1 b of the forewing above short, oval, yellow. Madagascar. — perroti Oberth. Discal spot 1 b on 
the upper surface of the forewing triangular, towards the base extended into a long point. Madagascar. 
apostrophia. T. (?) apostrophia Oberth. Forewing with three white subapical dots and long, narrow, yellow discal 
spots in 1 a and 1 b. Hindwing above with a yellow discal transverse band and golden yellow fringes. Forewing 
beneath with white marginal spots in 4 to 7. Very different from all the other species by the above described 
under surface of the hindwing. Madagascar: Fianarantsoa. 
chirala. T. (?) chirala Trim. Both wings above dull dark brown with somewhat lighter brown fringes; 
forewing above with 6 small hyaline spots (two in the discal cell and one each in 2, 3. 6, 7, which are almost 
exactly arranged as in the species from Madagascar) and a yellowish spot in 1 b. Hindwing above without 
spots, but in the centre somewhat lighter yellowish. On the under surface the hindwing and the apex of the 
forewing are of a bright light yellow and decorated with ferruginous markings. Of this rare species, as much 
as I know, hitherto but one single $ is known, having been captured already in 1892 by F. C. Selous in the 
Mineni Valley in Manicaland. 
4. Subfamily: Hespermae. 
In the genera of this subfamily vein 5 of the forewing is quite straight and rises exactly in the centre 
between 4 and 6 or nearer to 6. 
Review of the Genera. 
A. Antennal club obtuse, not extended into a sharp point, straight, or near its base bent down towards the 
antennal shaft. 
a. Antennal club almost straight. Smaller forms, 17 to 26 mm. — $ without anal wool. 
1. Border and fringes of the hindwing entire or almost entire. Forewing on both sides with numerous, 
not transparent, white spots; generally two white dots in the discal cell. Fringes white with dark 
spots at the ends of the veins. 1. Hesperia. 
2. Margin and fringes of the hindwing undulate. The white spots of the forewing are somewhat hyaline; 
no white dots in the discal cell of the forewing before its apex. 2. Carcharodus. 
p. Antennal club before its centre more or less bent down towards the antennal shaft. Larger species, 
28 to 35 mm. — $ with anal wool. 
1. Vein 5 of the forewing rises in the centre between 4 and 6. The margin of the hindwing is rounded 
off or straight at vein 3. The posterior margin of the forewing is straight. 3. Abantis. 
2. Vein 5 of the forewing rises distinctly nearer to 6 than to 4. The margin of the hindwing at the end 
of vein 3 distinctly angled. Forewing at the posterior margin more or less emarginated. 
4. Caprona. 
B. Antennal club extended into a sharp, often long and bent down point. 
a. Costal margin of the forewing before the apex distinctly emarginated, whereby the apex is particularly 
pronounced. 5. Procampta. 
[L Costal margin of the forewing in the apical part bent or straight. 
*. Forewing without a light dot or spot at the costal margin in area 12. 
§. The median of the forewing is distinctly bent between the veins 2 and 3. 6. Tagiades. 
§§. The median of the forewing is straight or almost straight between the veins 2 and 3. 
o. Third palpal joint long, almost cylindrical and straightly porrect. The margin of the hindwing 
between the veins 4 and 6 emarginated iir the shape of a bow. Forewing without a hyaline 
spot in area 11. — <§. Forewing without a costal fold, 
oo. Third palpal joint knob-shaped or short knob-shaped. 
+ . (J. Hindwing above without a mealy spot at the costal margin and the forewing beneath 
without a hair-pencil at the posterior margin. 
1. $. Forewing at the costal margin with a distinct costal fold. 8. Eagris. 
2. <$. Forewing without a costal fold. 9. Sarangesa. 
-f -f-. A- Hindwing above with a mealy spot at the costal margin and the forewing 
beneath at. the posterior margin with a hair-pencil. 10. Tricosemeia. 
**. Forewing on both sides with a light spot or dot at the costal margin in area 12. Terminal joint of 
the palpus short, knob-shaped. 
1 . The median of the forewing between the veins 2 and 3 quite straight. 11 . Celaenorrhinus. 
2. The median of the forewing between the veins 2 and 3 distinctly bent. 12. Ortholexis.
