 Professor Riley's lahel, ^' favernel/a,'" on the pin. This specinien was 

 evidentl}' received from and mounted I)}' Chamhers, and agrees with 

 bred specimens of phiisul'.myn'lhi., compared with the type in Cam- 

 hridg-e, which also exhibit the jieculiar dark crossing- lines on forewing 

 descri))ed l)y Chambers.

I have examined the unique type of this species in the Museum of 

 Comi)arativ(^ Zoology in Camliridge. It is in poor condition, but I 

 feel certain that it is a true (hioriiito.sc/iema., anVl the knowledge of the 

 food })lant should easily enable the recognition of this small, inconspic- 

 uous, nearly unicolorous, dark fuscous species.

I have not met with other si)ecimens thari the type.
