cies, hearing no resemblance to Tharos in particular; on the 

 same page he cites, under its name Liriope, Cramer's f. C, D, 

 t. 1, (Vol. I), as a separate species from Hubner's, above 

 quoted, when it is apparent that both authors repre- 

 sented the same insect and also denoted it by the same name, 

 Liriope. Hubner's figures are, as usual, good, and Cramer's 

 are recognizable, and both are so good that any one at all 

 acquainted with the common tropical species Liriope could 

 immediately identify it from either. Mr. Scudder cites two 

 of the figures of Hiilmer's plate (Nos. 1, 2) as representing 

 Ismeria, (Carlotu, Reak.), from which they are even farther 

 removed than from Tharos, and the other two (Nos. 3, 4) he 

 regards as distinct and retains for them Hubner's index name 

 of Goryone.

 which the fulvous is entirely replaced on both surfaces by 

 yellowish white.
