tlie descriptions and figiires seems to show considerable differences 

 between the two forms. M. parayora has " rather dark reddish-yellow 

 hind wings," whilst M. eltriiighami has a broad white central band 

 only to tliese wings. Since the description of M. eltringhaini was 

 written, we have received another ^ from Uganda [precise locality not 

 stated] which dilTers slightly from the type, J , by the orange band of 

 the forewing being broader, and the dark terminal border of the hind- 

 wing being narrower. It is also much larger, expanding 69 mm.

 Falga scydra, H. H. Drnce, Ent. Mo. Mag., 2nd series, xxiii, p. 132, 

 (1912). 



Since my description was written I have found that the species 

 named by me F. ><cydra is synonymous with Hetiperia theodea, Hew., 

 the types being identical. In the " Genera Insectorum," Mons. Mabille 

 has omitted F. theodea, Hew., and F. selras, Grodm. [Biol. Centr.- 

 Am., Rhop. ii, p. 610, pi. civ, figs. 5, 6 (1901), from Honduras]. 

 Hewitson's type of F. theodea is in the British Museum, Init has not 

 yet been incorporated with the general collection.

The two examples in the Hewitson cabinet, including the type, 

 undoubtedly belong to this genus. They are both $ $ . Mons. 

 Mabille has also omitted this insect from his lists.

Mr. Graves' new butterfly, figured in this plate, was described by 

 me on p. 159 of this volume. The description had been written some 

 tinn before, and these figures belong to that paper. My notice of 

 A. alexins, Frr., on p. 127, though appearing before the description 

 of A. gravesi, was written considerably later. It was my examination of
