Louis B. Front on the 
entirely agrees structurally, unless possibly the face may 
be very slightly more protuberant and the palpus slightly 
more upeurved. It may be distinguished by its generally 
smaller size and its darker, much more uniiorm colouring, 
but may possibly prove a mere local race. The genus 
Idialcis, Warr., Proc. U.S. Mus., xxx, 509, for which Mr. 
Warren specifies type jacintha, Butl., was evidently 
characterised on some other species, for he gives the $ 
antenna as bipectinate, of fore wing as “ stalked or 
coincident,” etc. According to the rules of nomenclature, 
however,* Idialcis must stand io\' jacintha, and the generic 
characters must be amended. For present purposes it is 
sufficient to point out that the ^ antenna is nearly 
siinple, not bipectinate, SC- of forewing arises separately 
from cell, anastomosing with SC\ and C of hindwing is 
approximated to SC to at most two-thirds of cell (which 
can scarcely be described as “ nearly the whole length ”), 
and does not appear to anastamose. Phihalapteryx edna, 
Butl., Tr. Ent. Soc. Bond., 1882, 414, also belongs to this 
genus. The essential characters differ little from those of 
Mimopliyh, though the point of origin of SC‘^ is different.
