of Arachnc agrees exactly with the fine figures of Mliiidn in Wheeler's Report, save tiiat tlie latter is -f

Is closely allied to tlie above M. Arachne (Minuta), but differs from it in the more elongated primaries, in the deeper and uniform 

 fulvous color of upper surface. The fulvous of under surface is also darker and prevails more; the yellowish white mesial band of 

 secondaries is more regular; the black markings of under side of primaries fewer and not as distinct. 



Types one c?, one 9, Texas, J. Boll. In .some collections this insect is erroneously designated as Arachne, 

 but as this name is a .synonym of Minuta, I have de.scribed it as above ; it bears about the same re- 

 lation to Minuta as does Tiivia to Dkhjiiia.

The above names have been cited lately as synonyms of Eresia Elmla Hew. (Exot. Butterflies IV. Eresia t. 7, f. 54, 55. 1867-1871). 

 My examples of Imitata do not agree with the figures of Hewitson at all, whether Edwards' Ulrica (which is said to be identical with 

 Imituta) dots, I do not know.
