New Species of Telemiades and Notes on Some Others

A study of some of the members of the genus Telemiades, including amphion Geyer and several others having a somewhat similar superficial appearance, has resulted in establishing the identity of two or three rather obscure names applied to these insects by authors and in the discovery of two species not previously described. Ohie name has been removed from the usual synonymy of amphihn Geyer and restored to specific rank. In this study much help has been given by Brigadier W. H. Evans in furnishing information in regard to Hewitson and Mabille types in the collection of the British Museum (Natural History). All the specimens mentioned in this paper are in the collection of the American Museum of Natural History. Reference to the venation of the wings by number, where it is given, follows the English system of numbering each vein from the lowest one upward.
