NYMPH ALII).]'.. 



There is a fourth group which Dr. Boisduval has considered a distinct genu?, but which, from the limited observation 

 I can bestow on it, does not appear to possess any characters requiring us to separate it. Unlike its congeners, 

 this group is found in the Old World, but appears to be confined to the southern parts of Africa, and the Island of 

 Madagascar. Two species only have been described, but five exist in Dr. Boisduval's collection. In form they closely 

 resemble the species of the preceding group ; their general colour above is a tawny brown, with the apex of the 

 anterior wings more or less fuscous. 



Another group has the wings much more rounded, and the anterior especially shorter in proportion to their 

 breadth. I am not sure that these ought not to constitute a new genus, but having only seen two or three specimens, 

 and these wanting the legs, at least in greater part, I have not the materials for forming a correct decision. I believe 

 the tibias are not spiny. 



I am not aware that any species of this genus have been supposed to make a noise resembling that produced by 

 Ageronia Feronia, but I have observed in an undescribed species allied to Myscelia Cyaniris a structure exactly the 

 same as that which I have already described under the genus Ageronia. 



This genus is found in Mexico, the West Indian Islands, and the whole of the tropical portion of South America 

 east of the Andes. I have never seen specimens from the western side of these mountains, though, probably, the 

 genus occurs in Peru. In the Old World, as is remarked above, it is confined to the southern portions of 

 Africa, and the Island of Madagascar.
