CORRECTIONS or ERRORS HITHERTO EXISTING in the NOMENCLATURE 
OF SEVERAL SPECIES OF THE GENUS NYMPHIDIUM. 
BY ABTHUB G. BUTLEE, F.Z.S. 
1. In Mr. Doubleday's " Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera," p. 449, 
n. 17, NympUdium Orestes, Cramer, Pap. Exot., iii., pi. 282, f. a, b, is 
queried as a male insect, whilst JV. Soranus, Cramer, Pap. Exot., iv., 
pi. 353, f. a, b, is proposed as the female of it ; there can, however, be 
no doubt that the figures of both Orestes and Soranus are taken from 
female specimens. 
The true male of Soranus, which we have in the National Collection, 
resembles, in some measure, JV. Arctos, Hewitson, Exot. Butterf., i., 
p. 113, pi. 57, f. 1 (1853). It is, however, of a Hghter colour, and with 
narrower and more elongate wings. 
Judging from a somewhat shattered specimen of Soranus in the 
Collection, I should say that it is sufficiently distinct to be separated 
from Orestes ; but even supposing it should prove to be only another 
form of that insect, the name Orestes will have to be superseded by 
that of Soranus, the latter being undoubtedly the older title. 
2. The female of Nymphidmm Lamis, Cramer, Pap. Exot., iv., 
pi. 335, f. f, g, both sexes of which are figured in Hiibner's Samml. 
Exot. Schmett. Band., ii., pi. 14, f. 1-4, has been again represented in 
the "Grenera" (pi. 73, f. 5) as N. Azan of Doubleday's List. It is 
not, however, the insect intended by Mr. Doubleday, but a new species, 
which I thus characterize.
