We have a series of thirty-one examples of this species before us, showing a con- 
siderable amount of variation in colour in the males, and to a less degree in the females. 
Mr. Kirby states (Proc. Roy. Dubl. Society, 1880, p. 340) that Sematura selene, Guen., 
is very closely allied to J. /unys (Linn.), especially as regards the females; but may 
be distinguished by the pale inner submarginal line of the fore wings being more 
dentated. I have not seen the type of Sematura selene; but I think it extremely 
doubtful if it is specifically distinct from J/. lunus, as in a long series of the latter the 
submarginal band on the primaries varies a good deal in shape. I have specimens of 
M. lunus before me from Para, the locality given by Guenée for his Sematura selene. 
CORONIDIA. 
Coronidia, Westwood, Trans. Zool. Soc. x. p. 528 (1879). 
Prof. Westwood divided Coronidia into four sections. Of these I believe 2 and 3 
to be generically distinct, as the males of the species belonging to them, so far as Iam 
aware, do not possess a silky black patch on the secondaries, nor a tuft of hairs on the 
inner margin of the primaries beneath, and they also have the antenne simple. 
Sect. 1. Alis postecis ceruleo fasciatis, Westw. 
In this section of the genus Prof. Westwood placed five species, two of them being 
from Central America.

de Atitlan 2500 to 3500 feet (Champion); Panama, Chiriqui (7'rétsch, Kibbe, im mus. 
Staudinger).—BRaziu ! 2, 
The male of this species closely resembles C. erecthea, Westw. ; but it has the blue 
on the secondaries joined to the oval patch of rough black scales, and the tuft of hairs 
on the inner margin of the underside of the primaries luteous. We have six specimens 
before us—one female from Mexico, two males and a female from Guatemala, and a 
male and female from Chiriqui; the females do not differ from Hopffer’s figures, 
except that they have the antenne pectinated as in C. boreada, Westw.
