The species seems related to S. jjleHaiia\\\\i.,\>\\t its position must remain 

 doubtful in the absence of the S- 



Subfamily SELIDOSEMINAE. 



Genus Bagodares Druce. 



This genus, described in the Biohujia, vol. ii. p. 175, was placed by the author 

 among the Larentiachie ; but the tyjje-species prnsn has no radial in the hindwing, 

 and is rather to be placed iu the Selidosemiiiae. A second species is now added 

 to the genus.
