Note. — Since the remarks on the preceding page were printed, I have again examined the fine collection of Haitian insects belonging to 

 J. Hearne, Esq., in which I find specimens of Pyrameis Atalanta, Pyr. Cardui, and Pyr. Huntera, all exactly corresponding to the 

 specimens from the United States. The species to which I have given the name of Pyr. Myrinna differs from Pyr. Huntera in having the 

 upper surface of a less fulvous hue; the posterior wings produced into a short tooth at the end of the first median nenule; the upper 

 surface of these wings crossed by a dark broad band beyond the middle ; the white band of their lower surface of more uniform width, and 

 not produceil into a tooth at the third median nervule. In addition to these characters, it may be added that the outer margin of the wing 

 is more sinuate, and the submarginal bluish band less sinuate, than in the preceding species.
