I have thought with Dr. Felder that the butterflies figured in this plate, as well as the North- 
American species, which were put with Melitseea in Doubleday and Hewitson’s Genera of Diurnal 
Lepidoptera, would be better associated with Hresia; they cannot be separated from EK. Hera and 
Ianthe, which Mr. Doubleday considered as belonging to this genus. It seems to me that there is very 
little generic difference between Meliteea Eresia and Synchloe besides their outward appearance. I am, 
however, quite content with this distinction when the eye can at once separate them.
