WATSON ON THE HESPERIIDSE. 39 latter excavated from vein 2 to the outer angle ; cell two-thirds length of costa; male with a costal fold; vein 12 reaching costa well before the end of cell; discocellulars suberect; vein 5 nearer to 6 than to 4 ; vein 3 shortly before end of cell, more than twice as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 3 more than twice as far from end of cell as from base of wing. Hind wing : outer margin crenulated ; vein 7 well before the end of cell; discocellulars and vein 5 barely traceable ; vein 3 shortly before end of cell: vein 2 only slightly nearer to end of cell than to base of wing. Hind tibias slightly fringed and with two pairs of spurs. orcinus, Felder. Confined to tropical South America. 43. Genus PARADROS, nov. Type, phcenice, Hew. Nearest to Liynyostola, Mab., with which it agrees in neuration, except that the veinlet in the cell terminates only just beyond vein 3, and that vein 2 of the fore wing is considerably nearer to the base of the wing. The antennse are longer and have the club more bent round. The palpi are similar. The hind wing is quite a different shape, being much produced in the submedian area, while in Liynyostola it is much produced in the subcostal area. The anal lobe is also comparatively inconspicuous, the outer margin not being excised just before it. * phamice, Hew 1. * eons, Hew 2. Confined to South America. alcmon, Cram 3. 44.

Palpi porrect, divergent, third joint slender and naked. Fore wing: inner and outer margins subequal; cell more than two thirds the length of costa ; vein 12 reaching costa well before the end of cell; veinlet in cell just before vein 5; discocellulars inwardly oblique, subequal, the middle one slightly convex; vein 3 shortly before end of cell, about three times as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 3 twice as far from end of cell as from base of wing. Hind wing distinctly lobed ; vein 7 well before end of cell, twice as far from 8 as from 6 ; discocellulars and vein 5 barely traceable ; vein 3 immediately before end of cell; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing. Male with a costal fold. Hind tibise densely fringed, and with two pairs of spurs, the upper pair short. f lacydus, Druce | 1 despecta, Butler 3. Xpemphigargyra, Mab. J ' crin isus, Cram 2.
