That, under P. anteUititt, Mr. Walker has intended the present species, 

 T do not doubt, while his citation of Harris is incorrect. I cannot ac- 

 count for Dr. Herrich-Scha?ffer's remark that " Walker quotes Harris and 

 Hiibner correctly under F. Fandonis." The mystery attending Mr. 

 Walker's use and citation of 7^. ampeJoj)haga, Harris, (ubi '/) is inex- 

 plicable, and this remark of Dr. Herrich-Scha^ffer's seems to sanction 

 the existence of such a description. Dr. Clemens has already alluded 

 to the non-existence of any description of Dr. Harris' under the spe- 

 cific name o^ ampplophnga. 1. c. p. 154. 



If. then, we transfer the entire synonymy cited by Mr. Walker on p. 175 

 1. c. to PhiUimpelus FaiidorKs, Walk., on p. 174 1. c, excepting the refer- 

 ences of Cramer and Hiibner under the specific name of Li/raou, we shall 

 have the synonymy of our Northern species described by Mr. Walker 

 as F. Fandonis. while the present species, described by the English 

 Entomologist as P. satelfitia, will receive the name I have here adopted. 

 Dr. Clemens appears to regard these two species as identical, a conclu- 

 sion which I must believe to be entirely erroneous. Dr Herrich-Schaef- 

 fer has appreciated the difference between the two species, while retain- 

 ing the name of P. satrlfitia for the present species, in consonance with 

 Mr. Walker's incorrect synonymy. 



Diff"er8 from P. sdlrffifin, Linn, by the somewhat slighter and nar- 

 rower shape. The external margin of anterior wings is very nearly 

 straight, not S-shaped. The subterminal lines are more distinct, no- 

 where angulated, regularly lunulate between the nervules ; the termi- 

 nal and subterminal spaces, especially on internal margin bordering the 

 first subterminal and most distinct line, are largely mixed with whitish, 

 somewhat nacreous scales. The sub-triangulate spot on the middle of 

 internal margin is smaller, more contrasted with the general color of 

 the wing and preceded by slightly roseate scales. 



The posterior wings show a very distinct large roseate spot on inter- 

 nal margin, covering anal angle; the blackish spot within internal mar- 

 gin is somewhat rounded, much smaller than in P. satd/ltta ; the sub- 

 terminal interspaceal black maculations are not obscured superiorly by a 

 large dark green shade baud, but continued distinctly to costa. The 

 external margin is less excavate than in P. mtcllitin, compared with 

 which the Cuban species generally is more olivaceous and paler. 



One specimen wants the sub-triangular dark patch on internal mar- 

 gin of anterior wings. 



P. ndtdlitla never has the pink anal patch, which latter I am of opi- 

 nion is of greater value as a specific character than indicated by Mr. 

 Walker. It is constant in the four specimens before me, and perhaps
