I can discover no difference in Hopffer's description to 

 warrant the separation of his species ; but in the Hewitson 

 collection there is an imperfect example of an allied but appa- 

 rently very distinct species, unfortunately without locality. 

 It is more likely to be M. eumelia, var.

6. Moschoneura theaphina, sp. n. 



Mimics Ithomia theraphia* and is allied to M. iihomia 

 (which probably mimics /. Icusa). It can at once be distin- 

 guished by the unbroken character of the oblique, postmedian, 

 sulphur-tinted white band on the primaries, which in M. ithomia 

 is represented by two unequal spots. 



Expanse of wings 45-48 millim.

* This species and its allies have been referred to Scada, tbe type of 

 which is 8. phyllodoce. In the latter species the lower radial of the pri- 

 maries is given off above the angle of the discocellulars ; but this proves 

 to be an inconstant character. It, however, differs from the alethia 

 group in that the costal vein is bent downwards towards its distal end so 

 as almost to touch the subcostal, and the angle of the discocellulars of 

 these wings is considerably less pronounced. The types of Scada and 

 Heteroscada agree in structure, but fenella has nothing to do with 

 H. gazoria ; the name Heteroscada thus becomes obsolete.
