402 Mr. A. G. Butler’s Descriptions of new 
be intermediate between that group and Therapis, the 
dentate-smuate character of the margin beimg very 
variable in different examples of the same species; in 
pattern these insects more nearly resemble Strenia than 
any other group. A remark which I made in a previous 
paper respecting H. arenosa, strenioides, and leda has 
been misunderstood by my friend Hauptmann yon Hede- 
mann, who supposes that I regard these three species as 
varieties of one insect: had I done so I should not have 
described each separately as a new species; H. arenosa 
at least is a perfectly distinct thing, even if all the 
others should prove to vary into one another, but I am 
rather inclined to believe that they will remain separate.

Tokei (Fenton). 
Allied to E. strenioides. 
93. Hpione lachrymosa, n. s. 
Dark greyish brown, with slight cupreous reflections 
wings crossed beyond the middle by a double sinuous 
and dentate-sinuate black line, between which, on the 
secondaries, is a row of white spots ; immediately beyond 
this double line is a white band mottled with black, 
which on the primaries is widely interrupted in the 
middle,—on the secondaries, however, itis only interrupted
