  This 
  genus, 
  though 
  originally 
  regarded 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Butler 
  as 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  

   Pierince, 
  is 
  now 
  more 
  correctly 
  referred, 
  both 
  by 
  himself 
  and 
  others, 
  to 
  the 
  

   Lyccenidce; 
  it 
  is 
  nearly 
  allied 
  to 
  Liptenu, 
  and 
  allies.
