lieller gefiirbten, ohue die Querbinden auf den Oberfliigelu" — cannot 

 be referred to the following species, and is possibly undescribed. 



After comparing Dr. Clemens' description Jour. Acad. Nat. Sci. 

 Phil. p. 159 (1865), with the present material, I am of opinion that 

 the Texan specimen belongs to a distinct species, in which case the 

 name of Pdchylia Lyncea, proposed for it by Dr. Clemens in this event, 

 will be retained.

Allied to the foregoing, but a stouter, very dark brown, almost unico- 

 lorous species, of less expanse. 



The anterior wings show a faint median costal paler shade, similarly 

 shaped to the very distinct costo-apical patch, and enclosing the discal 

 dot. The posterior wings are entirely dark brown, concolorous with 

 anterior pair, with undefinedly darker marginal borders; anal angle 

 tipped with white projecting scales. 



It is possible, that Mr. Walker has united specimens of P. inomata^ 

 with his material under P. ficus, to which the present species is nearly 

 allied, but from which I consider it perfectly distinct. Cramer's later 

 figure. I think, refers to the present species, and not to P. ficus.

 inches.

All the abdominal segments above, are narrowly banded anteriorly 

 with black ; this is seen more plainly when the abdomen is bent, ex- 

 posing in this position more of the surface of the terminal segments.
