The above species should certainly belong to a distinct 

 genus from P. Latitia and allies, since the males of that 

 group have the frontwing costa strongly serrated as in the 

 genus Prioneris amongst the Pierincc. If it be thought 

 advisal)le to separate P. Lwtitia and allies from Pcqjilio, I 

 would suggest the name Pyrrhostida for tliat group. I 

 confess my inal)ility to account for the reluctance of Ento- 

 mologists to split up this unwieldy genus. P. Clusoculis is 

 allied to P. Hiiypason.
