Note. 



In referring to the species described by Dr. Felder, I have quoted from papers which he 

 has sent me, with distinct titles and separate paging, but which were all first published 

 in the ' Wiener Entomologischen Monatschrift,' viz. "Leindopterologische Fragmente" 

 (quoted as "Lep. Fi-agm."), published at intervals from June 1859 to August 1860, 

 " Lepidoptera Nova Malayica " (quoted as "Lep. Nov. Mai."), published in 1860, and 

 " Lepidoptera Nova a Dr. Carolo Semper in insulis Philippinis collecta" (quoted as 

 " Lep. Nov. Philipp."), published in 1861. It is to be regretted that the titles and 

 paging of these separate papers were not made to correspond with the original publica- 

 tion, so as to have made a more exact reference possible. 



I have also quoted Zinken's ' Beitrag zur Insecten-Fauna von Java ' separated from 

 tlie ' Nova Acta Acad. Nat. Curios.' ; but in this case the pages and the numbering of 

 the plates have been preserved as in the original work.
