Pyrrhopyginae. Part II was published in 1952 and dealt with half the Pyrginae in 3 groups, viz. Group B. Augiades, Group C. Urbanus and Group D. Celaenorrhinus. Part III was published in 1953 and dealt with the second half of the Pyrginae in 3 groups, viz. Group E. Telemiades, Group F. Erynnis and Group G. Pyrgus. Part IV deals with the Hesperiinae in 8 groups (H to O) and Group P. Megathyminae, and completes the catalogue. Appendix I deals with published names of Hesperiidae, which have been assigned to America by authors, but have been found to relate to other continents. Appendix II contains addenda and corrigenda to the previous parts. Since this work was commenced, two important publica- tions have been published relating to the American Rhopa- locera. A Field Guide to the Butterfles by A. B. Klots, published in 1951, relates to the butterflies of N. America, east of the Great Plains. It contains excellent keys, coloured and plain plates. The Butterflies of Virgima by Austin H., and Leila F. Clark, in 1951 also includes keys, coloured and plain plates. It may be desirable to repeat that the form in which this work is presented was introduced by the author in The Identification of Indian Butterflies 1926 and 1932. ‘The genera are assembled in a number of lettered groups: within each group the genera are numbered serially, as also are the species within each genus: the keys are arranged to preserve this numbering. The index gives the group letter followed by the generic and specific numbers and so can be used for keys to groups, genera and species as well as for the plates. A few self-explanatory abbreviations have been used, such I INTRODUCTION as F for forewing, H for hindwing: upf, uph, unf, unh for the upperside or underside of the forewing or hindwing. The term ‘‘nudum”’ has been introduced for the bared, sensitive portion of the antennal club. “Quadrate”’ or “‘quadrantic”’ have been used to designate palpi of which the inner (median) edge of the second segment, seen from above, is equal to or greater than the transverse width against the head. The genitalia diagrams have been drawn freehand by the author from genitalia mounted on cards or left on the abdo- men, not squashed flat on slides. They are intended to indicate the differences between species and are not to be regarded as accurate representations to scale. For each species the first figure depicts the ventral view of the uncus, gnathos and aedoeagus: the second figure depicts the view from the left side of the same organs: the third figure is of the inside of the left clasp and where there is asymmetry the view for the right clasp is added. It should be noted that individual and subspecific variation is often consider- able and that the study of all the available material as well as much experience is needed to decide whether a variation from the diagram is sufficient to justify separation as a species or a sub-species. For the Old World the material in the British Museum (N.H.) is complete or very nearly so, in that there are repre- sentatives of all described species. For America this is far from being the case: many of the published names are not represented at all. Where classification of unrepresented species has been established, they have been included in the keys and the author’s figure of the genitalia has been adapted for inclusion in the plates. But a considerable number of published species have remained unrecognised and have been listed at the ends of the genera wherein they were described. In the Museum there are a number of specimens belonging apparently to unnamed species, but which have been left undescribed because the absence of legs, antennae, palpi or abdomen renders classification impossible or un- reliable. Thanks are due to the following people for assistance in the manner specified. E. L. Bell, New York (criticism, advice, material). H. E. Box, Trinidad (material). F.

For the Old World the classification of the Hesperiinae was no easy matter, but at least the Sahara Desert and the Himalayas had the effect of keeping apart the Palaearctic and ‘Tropical evolution. In America the political boundary between the U.S.A. and Mexico appears to coincide remark- ably well with the faunal boundary between the Nearctic and Neotropical Regions. There has been a minor penetra- tion northward into the U.S.A. of Neotropical forms. But the Nearctic Hesperiinae have penetrated in great strength into S. America, mingling with the Neotropical forms and rendering any satisfactory arrangement of genera very difficult. The classification of the Hesperiidae in these catalogues has been based on the arrangement proposed by E. Y. Watson in 1893 (Proc. Zool. Soc. London), which had been generally adopted for the Old World and had been used by Godman & Salvin in their Biologia Centrali Americana for the Pyrginae. But Godman 1900 (Biologia, Rhopalocera, vol 2: 461) found it necessary to depart from Watson’s arrangement in respect of the Hesperiinae (formerly Pam- philinae). He divided the Hesperiinae into 8 groups of which the first was characterised by the arcuate antennal club and the porrect palpi; the remainder were based on the increasing length of the antennae in relation to the length of the forewing costa. This character, of antennal length, was considered when framing the Hesperiinae classi- fication for the Old World, but was not found to be of more 5 THE CLASSIFICATION OF THE HESPERIINAE than secondary importance, while for America in the Biologia it resulted in widely different genera, such as Calpodes and Callimormus, Falga and Thracides, being associated in the same group. It is considered that the classification of the Hesperiinae should be co-ordinated for the whole world as far as is possible. All-world keys to genera as framed by Watson are not suitable for any such purpose, since evolution in different parts of the world has proceeded on very different lines. There are, nevertheless, certain indications within a subfamily of relationships between species, genera or groups of genera indicating a common origin. On this basis generic groups can be arranged and the affinities indicated. Within such groups the general arrangement of the keys to genera can follow a similar pattern, but should be kept separate for the principal faunistic divisions, America, Africa, Europe- Asia. In the Old World the grouping of the Hesperiinae fell into 3 reasonably well-defined sections, based on the form of the antennal club, (1) viz. arcuate, (2) angled but not constricted before the angulation, (3) constricted before the angulation. ‘he American Hesperiinae have here been grouped on the same basis and the affinities with the Old World groups have been specified in the diagnosis of each group. GROUPS OF THE HESPERITINAE H. Carterocephalus Group. Antennal club arcuate. Palpi porrect. Corresponds to first section of Old World Hes- periinae. 6 genera. Palaearctic and Nearctic, but extending along the Andes to Patagonia. 1. Vinius Group. ‘Tawny forms extracted from the Apaustus Group for convenience. 15 genera. Neotropical. J. Apaustus Group. Antennal club not constricted before the apiculus: commences with all the nudum on the apicu- lus: as the segments of the nudum increase up to 3 or 4 extend to the club. Palpi quadrate (see p. 2): inner edge equal to the edge against the head. 53 genera. Neotropical with some extension into the U.S.A, K. Carystus Group. Antennal club as in Apaustus Group. Palpi quadrantic: inner edge wider than edge against head. 33 genera. Neotropical. L. Phlebodes Group. Groups I, J, K correspond to the second section in the Old World Hesperiinae and groups M, N, O to the third section. This group seems to be a connecting link between groups J and O. It commences with an extension of the nudum on the antennal club and quadrate palpi: it ends up with the nudum on the club equal to the apiculus and flattened palpi. The hindwing termen is convex: not straight or concave as in Group O. 17 genera. Neotropical. M. Hesperia Group. Generally tawny. Commences with all the nudum on the club and no apiculus: gradually the apiculus emerges and lengthens, until it is as long as the nudum on the club, which is always constricted at the com- mencement of the apiculus. The palpi commence by being 7 GROUPS OF THE HESPERIINAE slender and quadrate, gradually becoming flattened, i.e. the inner edge is narrower than the edge against the head. 36 genera. Palaearctic, Nearctic and Neotropical. N. Lerodea Group. Brown. A small group of genera which seem to be allied but would be out of place in any other group. The antennae have the nudum on the club and the apiculus sub-equal and the palpi are quadrate. 4 genera. Nearctic and Neotropical. O. Calpodes Group. Brown. Commences with more of the nudum on the club than on the apiculus, but generally there is an equal distribution. The palpi are always flattened. 20 genera. Neotropical. The Hesperiine material in the B.M. consists of 31,000 specimens, which have been arranged in 184 genera (54 new), 1024 species (203 new), and an additional 330 sub- species (153 new): 728 published names have been placed as synonyms of species and 53 as synonyms of genera. The Museum has the types of 415 species, 198 sub-species and 100 of names placed as synonyms. H. CARTEROCEPHALUS GROUP The porrect hairy palpi, stout arcuate antennal club and long hindwing cell readily distinguish this group from the rest of the Hesperiinae. As far as America is concerned, the group could be accorded subfamily status, but in Palaearctic Eurasia (Heteropterus group) and in Africa (Astictopterus group), there are links with the Ampittia group, which render separation undesirable. The group is absent in the Oriental region and Australia. Antennae not longer than half costa F: club stout, arcuate, tip blunt or pointed: nudum 7 to 12 segments. Palpi hairy, porrect, third segment slender. Legs usually abnormal. Fore tibiae often with the flap (epiphysis) minute, seemingly deciduous, as it is frequently absent: may be long and slender, or stout and normal: sometimes the tibia is spined. Mid legs spined, except in Argopteron. Hind legs may have the upper pair of spurs absent or replaced with spines: sometimes with the spurs and spines. Wings broad. F cell short. H cell much longer than 4 - wing: vein 1A shorter than vein 8. Abdomen = or > dor- sum H. No secondary sexual characters. Aedoeagus long and slender, inwardly furnished above the vinculum with a bifid sheath. KEY TO GENERA la (6). Apiculus blunt, more or less flattened and com- pressed at tip. tb (3a).

An examination of the antennae and palpi will serve to separate members of the group from such tawny species as occur in the Carteroce- phalus, Carystus, Hesperia and Euphyes groups. The group is entirely Neotropical. It may be considered as allied, at least in appearance, with the Ampittia and Ceratrichia groups of Africa and with the tawny species of the Astictopterus, Ancistroides and Plastingia groups of the Oriental region and the Trapezitinae of Australia. Antennae generally rather longer than half the costa. Club short and slender, but long in Pyrrhocalles and stout in Zalomes: it is not constricted before the apiculus. Nudum ranges from 10-14 segments, at least 8-10 of which are on the apiculus. Palpi with the second segment slender: only broad in the aberrant genus Zalomes. ‘Third segment erect, ranging from long and thin to short and stout. Mid tibiae generally spined: smooth in 5 genera. Hind _ tibiae with the upper pair of spurs absent in Zariaspes and one species of Zalomes. Secondary sexual characters absent in 7 genera: generally forewing brands in the rest. Hindwing hair tufts present in Vinius and some species of Pheraeus. KEY TO GENERA la (5a). Palpi, third segment long, slender. Nudum all on apiculus. Ib (4). Nudum of ro segments. 1 (2a).

APAUSTUS GROUP This group contains the bulk of the brown Neotropical Hesperiinae. ‘They are characterised firstly by the form of the antennal apiculus, where the greater portion of the nudum lies on the apiculus and only up to 3 or 4 segments extend to the club. Secondly by the palpi, where the second segment is slender and cylindrical or quadrate, i.e. the inside width is equal to the width of the side against the head: never flattened as in the Hesperia-Calpodes groups, nor quadrantic as in the Carystus group. The variation is so considerable that further generalisa- tion is not possible. A division into sub-groups has been made in the key to the genera. The group is represented in Africa by the Acleros group and in the Oriental Region by the Ancistroides group and part of the Plastingia group. KEY (OV GENERA la (15a).

PHLEBODES GROUP The Phlebodes group appears to constitute a link between the Cymaenes and Calpodes groups, in respect of the antennae and palpi. The antennae commence with about one-third of the nudum on the club and two-thirds on the apiculus and end up with half the nudum on the club. The palpi commence with a quadrate second segment as in Lerema and end up with the flattened second segment of Calpodes. The termen of the hindwing is convex, not straight or concave as in Calpodes. Except for some members of the first and last genera, all the species are brown. KEY, TO: GENERA la (11a). Antennae, nudum on club shorter than apiculus. Nudum 13-15 segments.

HESPERIA GROUP The Hesperia group contains the tawny species of the second section of the Hesperiinae, where the antennal club is bent to the apiculus, if present, well after the thickest part of the club. ‘The group has been divided into 3 sub-groups. The Thymelicus sub-group is well defined by the short antennae without any apiculus at all and by the slender, hairy palpi with a long thin third segment. Thymelicus itself, the only Old World genus, is essentially Palaearctic, the only American species having been imported to the U.S.A. -by human agency. The other 4 genera are presumably Nearctic, but some species have reached the Argentine. The Hesperia sub-group displays a gradual increase in the number of segments in the nudum from 7 to 13, accom- panied by a gradual lengthening of the apiculus up to the width of the club, and a gradual lengthening of the antennal shaft up to half the length of the forewing costa: there is also a gradual flattening of the palpi, where the third segment is always short. ‘The typical genus Hesperia as well as the genus Ochlodes are essentially Palaearctic and Nearctic with no extension into the Tropical or Neotropical regions. Of the remaining genera a few are confined to the U.S.A. and a few to special areas such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Argentine or W. Indies: but many of the genera range over all America and the W. Indies, the migratory species without variation and the more sessile displaying more or less well-marked sub-species. The Phemiades sub-group comprises species with a longer antennal apiculus and at least 14 segments in the nudum. The palpi are flattened. With one exception the group is essentially Neotropical. It is represented in the Oriental region by the prolific Taractrocera group and in Africa by a single genus, Zenonia. ‘The one exception is the genus Euphyes, which has a tawny Nearctic branch and a very different-looking brown Neotropical branch, but the simi- larity in the form of the genitalia combined with the smooth 298 GROUP M.

LERODEA GROUP The 4 genera placed in this group appear to be more or less allied and would be out of place in any other group. Their antennae indicate an affinity with the Hesperia and Calpodes groups, as the length of the nudum on the club is equal to the apiculus. But the quadrate palpi resemble the palpi of the Apaustus group. The mid tibiae are always spined. All the species of Amblyscirtes have a very long aedoeagus and saccus reaching nearly to the thorax. ‘This feature is not shown in the diagrams, but can be seen in the figures given in the Biologia by Godman 1900 and in the Hesperioidea of N. America by Lindsey, Bell and Williams 1931. Lerodea has been used by various authors for small species without any secondary sexual characters and a number of such species are listed at the end of the key as unidentifiable in the B.M. Some of them will doubtless be found to belong to genera in the Cymaenes sub-group of the Apaustus group, where the antennal club is very different. Except for Lerodea the genera are North American, but whether their origin is Nearctic is doubtful. ‘The Lsoteznon group of Asia presented a very similar problem in classifica- tion.

CALPODES GROUP Generally brown species with the antennal club constricted before the apiculus: the length of the nudum on the club = the apiculus. The palpi are flattened against the head: third segment short and stout. The termen of the hindwing is straight or excavate. | The group has been divided into 6 sub-groups of which the last 2 are very abnormal. Primarily a Neotropical group, but species of Calpodes, Panoquina and Nyctelius have penetrated into the U.S.A. and the W. Indies. The group is represented in the Old World by the Gegenes group, which is primarily Tropical, but has penetrated into the Palaearctic region in the Mediterranean and China. KEY TO GENERA la (18a).

MEGATHYMINAE This is a well-defined subfamily of the Hesperiidae characterised by the small head, half the width of the thorax, with the antennae close together, a modification doubtless due to the habits of the larva, which is a borer in Yucca or Agave shrubs. Barnes and McDunnough 1912 (Contrib. Nat. Hist. Lap., N. America, 1/111) published a detailed analysis of the subfamily. Recently H. A. Freeman has devoted a great deal of study in the field to the genus and has published several papers, notably “‘ Notes on the Agave feeders of the genus Megathymus”’, Field ©& Lab. IQ51 (19: 26). Antennae not longer than half costa with a well-formed club, with or without a short apiculus, or compressed at the end and blunt: nudum to segments. Palpi slender, third segment short, inconspicuous. Legs abnormal. All tibiae spined. Fore tibiae with only a short flap (epiphysis) in the middle of the distal half. Mid and hind tibiae with a single pair of terminal spurs, which on the hind tibiae are concealed by hairs. ‘The terminal claws are longer and wider apart than usual. Venation is Hesperiine. Forewing cell shorter than dor- sum: vein 5 decurved at its origin. Hindwing vein 5 well marked, appearing as a slit uph. Wings rounded: H costa = dorsum. Abdomen of 2 often very heavy, recalling some of the Australian Trapezitinae. The secondary sexual characters are peculiar and are specified in the keys. In all species the veins F are modified in the ¢ and in some species there are. long hairs, more or less erect, on the disc of the uph and the basal part of the cell unf. In one species at least (streckeri) the characters in a reduced form appear in the @. The species are all large and generally have conspicuous tawny to pale markings above. The subfamily is confined to the Southern U.S.A. and Central America. 464 P.1. AEGIALE KEY TO GENERA | (2). Antennae = ¢ costa, with a short, reflexed, obtuse apiculus.
