• Under the head of " Desiderata" an given copies of descriptions of species not seen by me, which 

 an- supposed, in most rases, to be valid. In the ease of the three present species described by Mr. Walker,

 E. implicata and E. csplanata, made under the directions of Mr. A. G. Butler, but the identifications are 

 still very doubtful.
