We kee[) jj/iolus (— c/dOevvYw*) geuerically separate from mijvon aud ccrskolor, 

 (1) because the species is, in tlie spiuose tibiae, one step farther advanced tbau its 

 American and Orieutul allies, and (2) because the separation of pkoliis on account of 

 such a conspicuous character as the sjjinosity of the tibiae will facilitate the con- 

 struction of a workable key to the genera.

The finiire of pholu.-i given by I'ramer is very rough ; it does not agree with 

 any specimen of the present species which we have seen. But one must not be too 

 exacting ; many of Cramer's figures bear only a superficial resemblance to the 

 insects they are meant to represent, especially in the first volume. We think 

 it was not so much the roughness of the figure which prevented it being 

 referred to the common North American species known as choerilun, but the locality, 

 which is given as the West Indies. The individual figured came from the collectiun 

 of E. de Marre. In the same collection was tlie type of Cramer's japix figured on 

 the same plate, and said to be from New York, where it does not occur. On 

 PI. XXIV. Cramer figures two butterflies from the said collection, and remarks
