Show 1893.] ME. E. Y. WATSON ON THE HESPEEinLE. 15 Male with a tuft of hairs on upperside of hind wing at base of submedian nervure. semihyalina, Felder 1. felderi, Hopff 2. Messrs. Godman and Salvin consider the annulatus of Mabille to be in all probability the female of a species of Oxynetra. 11. Genus MICROCERIS, nov. (Plate I. fig. 3.) Type, variicolor, Men. Antennas: club rather more pointed than in Pyrrhopyge. Palpi as in Pyrrhopyge. Middle and lower discocellulars subequal, inwardly oblique; veins 7 and 8 stalked, i. e. anastomosing, for a short portion of their length ; vein 3 about twice as far from 2 as from 4. Hind wing: outer margin crenulated ; vein 7 just before end of cell; vein 5 wanting ; vein 3 from end of cell; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing. Fore tibiae very short. Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs. variicolor, M e n 1. 12. Genus MYSCELTJS. Myscelus, Hiibuer, Verz. bek. Schmett. p. 110 (1816). Type, nobilis, Cramer. Antennse hooked, ending in a blunt point; club comparatively slender, only about twice as thick as shaft. Outer margin slightly longer than inner margin. Cell reaching to more than two-thirds the length of costa. Discocellulars very oblique in the same straight line. Vein 5 nearer to 4 than to 6. Vein 3 from just before end of cell, more than twice as far from 2 as from end of cell. Hind wing very crenulate, rather squared at anal angle. Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs, both tibiae and femora being densely fringed ou their inner edge. nobilis, Cramer 1. *amystis, Hew. *®thrus, H e w 3. *phoronis, H e w 4. epimachia, H.-S 5. santhilarius, Latr 6. pardalina, Feld 7. assaricus, Cram 8. Subfamily II. HESPERIINCE. Section A. Antennse : club usually bent into a hook, but sometimes sickle= shaped, always terminating in a fine point. Third joint of palpi either minute, or else porrected horizontally in front of the face, as in section C of the Pamphilince, never curving over the vertex. Cell of fore wing always more than two thirds the length of costa. Discocellulars generally very oblique. Vein 5 slightly nearer either to 4 or to 6, never conspicuously close to either. Hiud wing frequently with a tail or tooth at submedian. Vein 5 never fully developed except in a few Old-World genera. The length of the cell of the fore wing will serve to separate this section. |
