Meriairs lij,Mire, if it was mciiut for this iusect, is mucli too grey ; iu the silvery 

 spots it agrees, however, better with the present insect than with the grey oiclus. 



Cramer's figure is, in our opinion, a very bad representation of the present 

 species, described fully by MOseliler, I.e., and therefore the name hithastii.'^ has to be 

 used for this insect. In the interpretation of some of Cramer's figures an elastic 

 conscience is necessary. 



Boisduval's lyncus is described and figured from an individuiil (or rather one 

 made up of three), of which the wings, thorax, and head belong to what MOschler 

 desci'ibes as hi(hiistHs, the lilack-banded abdomen to Alcuron carhuita, and the 

 palpi to some other Lepidopteron. 



(? ? . Forewing deeply sinuate below apex, this much ju'odnced ; distal edge 

 more or less dentate.

 in the preceding ; upper left angle of process of penis-sheath produced, acute. 



Kirby gives the AVest Indies as habitat of this form. The sjiecimen, which 

 is in bad condition, bears however a label " Belise," which probably is meant for 

 Belize, British Honduras.

(? ? . Much more variegated than the other species of Madoryx. Olive snbbasal 

 jiatch of forewnjg small, separated into two spots ; no white snbbasal costal dnts ; 

 second silvery discal spots angle-shaped, the ujiper linear, sometimes a white dot 

 upon M at base of M' ; discal lines dentate, brown marginal band indented at the 

 veins, above and below. First discal line of undersi<le black, strongly dentate. 

 Penis-sheath (PI. LIII. f. 1.5, Cuba) somewhat resembling that oi oirlrnf, the dilated 

 ])art shorter and mure acute, dentate only at the edges ; the apex sinuate in our
