In till' ])rt'st;iit Monograph of this most ililiic-ult giouji of l!utt< rllies, I [nopose to give repre- 

 sentations of both surfaces of such species, wliether previously ligureJ or not, as 1 can obtain. It is a 

 fact to he much (leph:)re<l that in ahnost every instance in which Lcpidopterists have professe<l to 

 represent botli sexes of a CdUidrijas they liave grievously erred. Jliil)ner, for instance, on one of his 

 plates, figures the males of two species as sexes of one. Poey, again, in his little pamjihlet on the 

 I.epiilo])tera of Cuba, gives Cramer's /'. MttrcHlina as the female of his new species C. Orbin.* 

 Cnimer figures the male C. L'lrra as the female of C. Euhuh; and so on. These errors, therefoiv, 

 render it exceedingly desirable that the true sexes of each separate species should be brought together 

 npon one plate, and this it will be my end<'avour to effect in the present revision of the genus.
