varies considerably in the degree of distinctness of the bread, often very 

 distinct, dusky cloud on the inside of the outer row of dots, the inner edge 

 often being straighl and crossing the middle of the wing, while both pairs 

 of wings, in some examples, are much darker than in others. The lines and 

 the dusky borders are more conspicuous, the inner and outer lines farther 

 apart, and the inner line more curved in the male. The wings of this sex 

 are paler, the speckles being less numerous. The wings of the female also 

 vary. 



One male from Mr. Behrens differs in being of a deeper fawn-color, 

 with the two lines on the lore wings and single outer line on the hind wings, 

 forming very distinct, dentate, black lines, and the two on t lie fore wings 

 much nearer together than usual; discal dot obscure, and the inner line on 

 the fore wings less curved than in other male specimens. It is a little 

 smaller in size. Beneath, the same, but the lines more distinct. I retract 

 nay former remark that this species was "wrongly referred to the genus 

 Tetrads by Guenee"; for, while in the characters of the head and antenna} 

 it is nearly allied to Evtrapela, still the wings have the shape of those of 

 Tetracis } and it should be retained where Guenee placed it. It differs from 

 any species of Eutrapela in the shorter hind wings. 



This is probably a species of Guenee's genus Sabulodes, and near 

 /S. caberata, but I allow it to remain where it is provisionally. 



Tetrads pandaria Walk., List, xx, 173, is a large rubbed Caberodes 

 metrocamparia! , as 1 learned by an examination of Walker's type in the 

 British Museum.

Head narrower in front than usual, slightly more sj> than in Drepanodes, 

 the scales very close. Palpi large, stout, slightly ascending, extending well 

 in front of the head, the third joint a little longer than in Drepanodes. 

 Anteniue in the male simple, compressed, ciliated; in the female simple. 

 Fore wings distinctly falcate, the costal edge regularly convex, the apex 

 suddenly acute, especially in the females. Outer edge with a well-marked 

 angle; the edge in both wings is entire in E. transoersata, slightly scalloped
