Note. — ■ Melita?a Astarte Doubleday Sf- Hewitson, t. 23. f. 5. is an Argynnis. I was misled by the markings of the under surface, which 

 resemble those of the first species of the present genus. Godart's Argynnis Pelopsa seems to me, notwithstanding his reference to Drury, 

 to be a distinct species, and may be our Mel. Proclea. His Arg. pygmsea is possibly Drury's insect, which may also be Fabricius's Hesperia 

 iEgon, but the descriptions are very unsatisfactory, and do not enable me to venture a positive opinion.
