form, outwardly deeply indented and black marked. In common with 
the two following species this has a pale apical spot, and a well marked 
claviform. 
Chalcedonia is narrower-winged with similar maculation, save that 
the reniform is smaller, and narrow ; the costal region is also pale as a 
rule. The secondaries are white, hyalme, in both sexes. 
£xesa is larger and more robust, more evenly colored; but else 
very like chalcedonia in maculation. The secondaries are fuscous 
brown, 
The other species lack the apical pale spot and the claviform, the 
type of maculation being otherwise the same. 
Fuscimacula is a very pretty, evenly colored species, grayish fuscous, 
the lines broad, pale and well defined, and the ordinary spots dusky. 
Grata, or rastiis as it is generally named, is red-brown, the median 
lines narrow and white, renifurm strongly constricted, with a dusky gael 
above and below. 
Paginaia is dull, smoky fuscous, the maculation obscure and only 
the median lines well marked and dark—decidedly different from all 
allied forms, 
Versicolor Grt., is known to me in nature, and I have given the de- 
scription a place next to chalcedonia which it seems most nearly allied 
to, not having been able to obtain a specimen for study at the time of 
writing. 
In synoptic form the species will appear as follows :

The species all agree in the general type of male genitalia. In all 
the harpes (which I have heretofore called the ‘side pieces’—for my 
term supra-anal plate I shall hereafter use the term wacus,) are elongate, 
narrow, with a rounded tip, somewhat curved, and broadening suddenly 
toward base, where the clasper is inserted. This latter is very various 
in form and will be described with the species.
