There is very considerable difference in form between the Scricina of Bates and my Colaxes 

 (fig. 1), but they are in every other respect so completely alike that I have preferred to consider them 

 as one species.

The type specimen which is in the collection of Mr. Salviii (of which Mrs. Salvin has kindly 

 sent me a sketch) differs considerably from the one figured in the form of the band of the anterior 

 wing, which is broader, commences nearer the costal margin and is divided into six parts by the ner- 

 vures. There is, besides, a small spot of white below this band.
