dark color is defined outwardly by a line cnrving from before tlie middle 

 of the costa to about tlie lower outer angle of the cell, then running 

 outwardly, parallel to vein 4 for a short distance, then turning down 

 at right angles to vein 2, then running obliciuely inwardly to the inner 

 maroin, which it meets about one-third of its length from the base. 

 On hiterval 1, about midway between the dark basal tract aud the 

 outer margin, is a broad spot of the same color, with its outer margin 

 sharply defined at right angles to the inner margin and its inner mar- 

 gin obscure and ill defined. The secondaries are white with the base 

 •ind the costal margin washed witli pale gray. A blackish ray runs 

 ivom the base along the upi.er margin of the cell, and t he outer limit of 

 the dark area is marked on the costa by a marked deepening of the 

 dirk shade. The outer margin is broadly suffused with pale gray hke 

 that at the base, more or less interrupted on the margin at the extremi- 

 ties of the intervals by paler spaces. On the under side the primaries 

 are marked as in the male, except that the dark basal spots of the 

 iinper side reappear below, somewhat indistinctly except about the mid- 

 dle of the wing, where they are deep bhick and well defined. The mark- 

 ings of the upper side of the secondaries reappear upon the lower side, 

 but much more faintly defined. Theouteredgesofbothwiugsarefamtly 

 laved with yellowish like the apex of the primaries. Expanse, male 

 35 mm.; female 38 mm.

The collection contains two males and one female ot this species, 

 which appears to be, so lar as the male is concerned, somewhat closely 

 allied to T. anUgone, Boisduval, but may at ouce be distinguished from 

 that species bv the absence of the inner dark markings of the apical 

 tract of the primaries in the male. The female is widely difterent. 



TERACOLUS SUBVENOSUS, Butler.

There are four males of this species kindly determined for me by Dr 

 Butler of the British Museum, from a <-arefnl drawing, which I prepared 

 and sent him. This is the insect whi(di, in my paper upon the Lepi- 

 <loptera collected by Dr. Abbott, and in my paper upon the first collec- 

 tion made by Mr. Chanler,i I designated as a doubtful variety ot i.

TERACOLUS CINCTUS, Butler. (?) 

 Terarolus cinctus, Butler, Auu. and Mag. Nat. Hist. (5), XII, p. 105 (1883). 



There are three females in the collection, which I was inclined to 

 believe to be the females of the preceding species, but Mr. Butler, after 

 examining a drawing of the.n, says that he is inclined to think them to 

 be the as yet undesc-rib<Ml females of the species named T. enwtushy
