LÉPIDOPTÉROLOCilE COMPAREE 125 



Nous n'avons pas étudié cette espèce en nature; mais, d'après 

 la figuration qu'en donne M. Warren, et du fait qu'il la considère 

 comme faisant partie des morphes qui furent autrefois décrites 

 par Butler sous le nom de Flavida, nous n'hésitons pas à la placer 

 dans notre genre Melanocraspes, à la suite de Flavida.
