varies considera1)h' in the degree of distinctness of the brtiid, often very 

 disthict dusky cloud on file inside of the outer row of dots, the inner edge 

 often being straight and crossing the middle of the wing, while lioth pairs 

 of wings, in some examples, are much darker than in others. The lines and 

 the dusky lx)rders are more conspicuous, the inner and outer lines farther 

 apart, and the inner line more curved in the male. The wings of this sex 

 are paler, the speckles being less numerous. The wings of the female also 

 vary. 



One male from Mv. Ikdirens differs in l)eing of a deeper fawn-color, 

 with the two lines on tiie lore wings and single outer line on the hind wings, 

 forming very distinct, dentate, black lines, and the two on the fore wings 

 much nearer together than usual; discal dot obscure, and the inner line on 

 the fore wings less curved than in other male specimens. It is a little 

 smaller in size. Beneath, the same, but the lines more distinct. I retract 

 my former remark that this species was "wrongly referred to the genus 

 Tetrads by Guenee"; for, while in the characters of the head and antennte 

 it is nearly allied to Eiitrapela, still the wings have the shape of those of 

 2'etracis, and it should be retained where Guene'e placed it. It differs from 

 any species of Eutrapela in the shorter hind wings. 



This is prol)ably a species of Guentie's genus Sabulodes, and near 

 S. cnberata, but I alhnv it to remain where it is provisionally. 



Tetrads panilaria Walk., Li.st, xx, 173, is a large rubbed Caberodes 

 metrocainparia! , as 1 learned by an examination of Walker's type in the 

 British Museum.

Head narrower in front than usual, slightly more so tlian in Drepanodes,

 Antennse in the male simple, compressed, ciliated; in the female simple. 

 Fore wings distinctly falcate, the costal edge regularly convex, the apex
