The above is B..i..l.wa1's .losoripti-.n as tnuislatcl in Morris' Synopsis. I have litlio .loubt but that this 

 species is identical with some of those sin.r re-leseribe,! by later American authors. What a mighty re.luct.o.. 

 of ipe<Mes there would be if Boisduval's, Behr's, E<lwards' an.l Reakirts lypes were to nieet together and un- 

 dergo impartial eomparison and examination.
