Palpi: second joint densely scaled, pressed close against the face ; third joint almost entirely concealed, bluntly conical Tore wing : inner margin longer than outer margin; cell less than two-thirds the length of costa; vein 12 reaching costa almost opposite end of cell; middle discocellular very oblique, lower very short: vein 5 from close to bottom of cell; vein 3 shortly before end of cell ; vein 2 almost equidistant from base of wing and end of cell. Hind wing rather elongate, anal angle slightly lobate ; vein 7 well before end of cell; discocellulars outwardly oblique : vein 3 close to end of cell, twice as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing : upper margin of cell bent downwards at vein 7; lower margin of cell slightly angled at vein 2, more conspicuously at vein 3. Hind tibiae with a dense fringe and two pairs of spurs. Male with a very inconspicuous linear discal stigma on the upper-side of fore wing, from just before origin of vein 3 to as far as the submedian, usually more or less incomplete. *eincia, Hew 4. *br&sia, Hew 5. phidon, Cramer 1. *cilissa, Hew 2. *nanea, Hew 3. There is an undescribed genus closely allied to Thracides, including telmela, Hew., cloanthus, Latr., and others, which appear to mimic species of Pyrrhopyye. Confined to tropical America. 55. Genus TALIDES. Talides, Hiibn. Verz. p. 106 (1816). Type, sergestus, Cram. Antennae and palpi as in Perichares. Fore wing differs from Perichares in not being so much produced apically, in the outer and inner margins being subequal, and in vein 3 being very much nearer to the end of the cell. Hind wing as in Perichares but less elongate, being more produced in the subcostal area. Hind tibiae and femora less densely fringed than in Perichares, and the upper pair of spurs are very short. Linear stigma on fore wing of male as in Perichares. sergestus, Cram 1. sinon, Oram 2. *eudega, Hew 3. Confined to tropical America. "chiomara, Hew 4. *ccrymica, Hew 5. 56. Genus P E R I C H A R E S. Perichares, Scudd. Syst. Rev. p. 60 (1872). Type, corydon, Fabr. Antennas: club robust, elongated, with a long terminal crook ; second joint of palpi very densely scaled, the third joint almost entirely concealed. Fore wing produced at apex, outer margin very much longer than inner margin ; cell less than two-thirds the |
