282 Bulletin American Museum of Natural History [Vol. XLIII 



It is true that on the upper side there is considerable variation in speci- 

 mens. I have in my collection a specimen of E. subsignata in which the 

 light area of the fore wings is not glaucous gray, as in Walker's type, but 

 bright yellowish ochraceous, giving the insect a totally different appear- 

 ance at first glance. 



In this connection it may be proper to call attention to the fact that 

 we have in our possession a female specimen of Ercheia multilinea 

 Swinhoe, originally described from Perak and also found in New Guinea. 

 The specimen we have came from Sierra Leone and was donated to the 

 Carnegie Museum l)y Mr. Schaus, having been collected by Mr. Clements. 

 The geographic range of this species is thus extended from the Indo- 

 Malayan region to tropical West Africa.

I refer one rubbed and faded female specimen to this somewhat 

 variable species, of which I possess a long series representing both sexes. 

 A female from the Ogove River agrees al^solutely with the insect upon 

 which I am reporting and which is labelled "Bolengi, VII, 20, '09."
