  Near

  pyrosommoides, 
  Holl. 
  At 
  first 
  I 
  thought 
  this 
  

   must 
  be 
  the 
  same 
  species 
  as 
  that 
  described 
  by 
  Holland, 
  of 
  

   which 
  I 
  have 
  a 
  fair 
  series 
  of 
  quite 
  typical 
  specimens 
  from 
  

   the 
  same 
  locality 
  ; 
  but 
  these 
  two 
  (taken 
  in 
  copula) 
  have 
  a 
  

   different 
  look 
  about 
  them, 
  and 
  this 
  led 
  me 
  to 
  examine 
  the 
  

   neuration, 
  when 
  I 
  found 
  that 
  both, 
  in 
  addition 
  to 
  their 
  

   uniformly 
  even 
  colour, 
  had 
  the 
  fork 
  of 
  veins 
  S 
  and 
  9 
  excep- 
  

   tionally 
  short, 
  arising 
  much 
  nearer 
  the 
  cell 
  than 
  in 
  pyro- 
  

   sommoides, 
  this 
  character 
  in 
  all 
  the 
  other 
  specimens 
  being 
  

   quite 
  typical.

  Primaries 
  Paris 
  green, 
  with 
  a 
  restricted 
  basal 
  

   area 
  of 
  grey, 
  its 
  border 
  being

  a 
  subterminal 
  sharply 
  

   serrate 
  line 
  from 
  the 
  apex

  the 
  tornus,

  apical 
  serrations 
  

   beino" 
  small, 
  those 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  radial 
  area 
  larger, 
  the

  Type 
  in 
  my 
  collection. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  described 
  this 
  species 
  as 
  entirely 
  green 
  ; 
  my 
  speci- 
  

   men 
  is 
  slightly 
  yellowish 
  at 
  the 
  tornus 
  of 
  the 
  primaries 
  and 
  

   the 
  secondaries, 
  but 
  I 
  am 
  convinced 
  from 
  the 
  appearance 
  that 
  

   it 
  is 
  simply 
  a 
  damp 
  stain.
