 tute but one species. This must be determined in the future.

This species, which is ordinarily distinguished by the white or yel- 

 lowish-white costa at the base of the wing and the white sp;ice towards 

 the hinder margin of the winsr, is represented by a specimen in the 

 Society's Collection, in which all the white is replaced by pule testace- 

 ous having in certain lights a dull bluish lustre. I think it is not 

 necessary to describe it as a distinct species, as to my mind it is evi- 

 dently a variation. 



Doubtless too many species have been created out of the material 

 that has been before me, but I have been governed entirely by a wish 

 to notice clearly all the diiferences in individuals belonging tc this 

 group, and not by a desire to multiply descriptions

 The species described heretofore and in the present paper, may be

 spots, two along the costa near the middle and one on the inner margin of the

Lozotaenia purpurana, n. s. — Fore wings dull purplish-brown, with the costa 

 at the excised portion behind the tip, touched narrowly with pure bright
