 with more or lews of a paler greyish tint between the outer

Under the name of Zerene Dr. Boisduval in 1852 placed both 

 this and r t IK- species afterwards described by I)r. Rcltr ;is 

 Monticola. In 1869, premising that he had confounded two 

 species, he renamed this one Ilydaspe and retained Zerene for 

 the species which in the interim (1863) Dr. Behr had sepa- 

 rated as Monticola; of course Dr. Behr's name will stand for 

 the latter and Dr. BoisduvaPs for the present, whilst Hydaspe 

 sinks into a synonym.
