 aincnsis, etc., as s3nonyms of dijfas. But in the scramble of these Butlerian 

 " species " for accommodation under the roof of a mutihited but hospitable dryad, 

 some strangers managed to squeeze in who were not biHetcd there. The row of 

 fifteen synonyms under (lijms of Hampson looks very imposing ; seven of the 

 names, however, have no business to be there, and the eighth {javanica) has also

Though we treat of the specimens belonging to the species tli/nis only under 

 two subspecies, we are not at all certain that there are not more geographical forms. 

 As in many other AmbuUcinae the sexual armature seems to vary much more 

 geographically than individually. Unfortunately the material at disposal is rather 

 meagre, excepting that from North India and Java, and therefore we cannot do 

 more at present than indicate in what the few individuals dissected dift'er. It is
