Descriptions of Exotic Lepidoptera from the Collection of 

 Herbert Druce, Esq. Bv Arthur Gardiner 

 Butler, RL.S., F.Z.S, &e. 



The species described in the present paper are chiefly 

 from the Kaden Collection now in the possession of JNIr. 

 Druce. Very many of the Satyrince in this collection. are, 

 I regret to say, without localities, which, from a scientific 

 point of view, considerably lessens their value. As, how- 

 ever, it is my intention to figure all the species that I 

 describe, I hope that ere long this evil may be remedied.
