Show 1893.J MB. E. Y. WATSON ON THE HESPEllIIU.E. 99 knobbed antennae, while hylax differs in the shape of the wings and wanting the discal stigma in the male. Distribution. Holarctic. 8. Genus ERYNNIS. Erynnis, Schrank, Fauna Boica, ii. 1, p. 157 (1801). Type, comma, Linn. Ocytes, Scudd. Syst. Rev. p. 55 (1872). Type, metea, Scudd. Antennae short, less than half the length of costa; club short, robust, terminal crook exceedingly minute. Palpi as in Hylephila. Neuration as in Hylephila except that vein 2 of the fore wing is much nearer to the base of the wing in the male, and vein 7 of the hind wing is slightly nearer the base of the wing in both sexes ; the stigma on the fore wing is very similar to that of Hylephila, except that it entirely fills the angle at the bifurcation of vein 2, while in Hylephila the discal stigma crosses the interspace beyond the origin of vein 2. comma, Linn I. metea, Sc 4. colarado,Sc 2. *florinda, Butl 5. manitoba, Sc 3. Distribution. Holarctic. 9. Genus ANTHOMASTER. Anthomaster, Scudd. Syst. Rev. p. 57 (1872). Type, leonardus, Harr. This genus does not differ appreciably from Erynnis in neuration or the stigma of the male, while the sexual organs show a remarkable similarity. The differences given by Scudder are very slight, and as far as the antennae are concerned are absolutely imperceptible, and if it had not been separated by the greatest living authority on this group, it would have been unhesitatingly sunk in this paper as identical with Erynnis. leonardus, Harris. Confined to North America. 10. Genus OCHLODES. Ochlodes, Scudd. Syst. Rev. p. 57 (1872). Type, nemorum, Boisd. Antennae short; club stout, rather elongate, with a minute terminal crook. Palpi as in Hylephila. Neuration as in Hylephila, except that vein 7 of the hind wing is nearer to the base of the wing. Male with a linear discal streak on fore wing, bordered on both sides with differently formed, loosely compacted scales. nemorum, Boisd 1. sonora, Sc 2. agricola. Boisd 3.
