GENUS CHARILINA. 



This genus is Walker's, and Boisduval is in error in 

 attributing it to Felder. He places in it Amahilis, Drury 

 (Walker's type ; which Walker refers to the Lithosidoc, 

 placing it near Deiojjeia) ; and decora, Linn., (the type of 

 Pais, Hlibn, Walk., placed by the latter in his Castniidai). 

 If the two species are to be united in one genus, the name 

 Pais must of course be retained ; as even if we concede to 

 Boisduval that Hlibner's names count for nothing, Pais is 

 yet used by Walker in an earlier volume to Charilina. 

 Pais Pulchra, Trimen, overlooked by Boisduval, is probably 

 allied to Amahilis. 



GENUS EUDRYAS. 



Three species admitted, Unio, Assimilis,* (^Doubl. MS.) 

 and Bartholommi. The second species seems to be nothing 

 more than the well-known E. grata, Fabr., the last is pos- 

 sibly new, as it is distinct from Brevipcnnis, Stretch, Bois- 

 duval is unacquainted both with this species and E. 

 Sandce Joliannis, Walk. 



GENUS ALYPIA. 



Nine species admitted, four of which Boisduval claims 

 as his own, unaware that Grote and Eobinson descrilied 

 and figured them the year before the publication of his 

 Lepidopteres de la Californie. Similis, BraijfXumi and 

 Liij.ata of Stretch, and Langtonii of Couper are all 

 unknown to Boisduval except Similis, which he redescribes 

 as new under the name of Edtoardsii. Bimacvlata, H.S. 

 (of which Eusemia (?) Crescents, Walk., is probably a var.), 

 is renamed Trimaculata. (It is an open question whether 

 such a correction is allowable). A. Grotei of Boisduval 

 does not appears to be distinct from this species. 



* Grote has published some remarks on this paper, relating to this 

 species, Aiyjna S-macidata, and Urania Rhqihctis, in the Canadian 

 Entomologist, vol. vi. p. 180.
