this most important contribution to Entomological knowledge, 

 for this is heyond ([iiestion. 



Among the Nocf/Ka' 1 recognize several species described by 

 Augustus Grote, Esq., as well as by Mr. Walker, but I leave 

 this section to those who possess a more intimate knowledge of 

 the group than I can pretend to. 



PLATE 79. 



Fig. 1. Castnia rutila, Eelder, belongs to the group of which 

 C. FoNSCOLOMBEi may be considered the tyi)e, and is 

 closely allied to that species. 



Fig. 3. Castnia triro/or, Felder, = C'astxia diva, Butler, Lep. 

 Exot., PI. 17, tig. 1, (1870).

 1 )ifiers as near as can be judged from the figure, only in 

 having the black bands of the secondaries broken up into 

 spots. In the absence of letter-press it is impossible to 

 tell wliether this is a permanent furm (»r oidy an accidental 

 variation. 



Fig. 7, 8. Synemon parthenoidks, Eelder, is very near Synemon 

 Sophia, White, sp., the niaculations of the secondaries 

 being similar, but the ])rimaries longer, and their whitish 

 markings more distinct. Bears aliout the same relation 

 to Sophia that Icaria does to L/ETa. 



PLATE SO. 



Fig. 1. Chahagia FiscHKKi, Keldcr, is very near ('. ruijroviri- 

 jjans, Walker, Init the specimens in the British ]\luseum 

 of the latter species, are too woiii to make the com- 

 l)arison absolute.
