DlSMORPHIA. 



Section Etstantia, Hiibn. 



If the characters assigned to Enantia were reliable it 

 would be of advantage to use them, as in the case of Pyrisitia 

 and Sphamogona (the characters of which are reliable), to 

 break up a somewhat unwieldy genus ; but unfortunately 

 they vary not only in individuals of the same species, but to 

 a slight extent on the opposite wings of the same specimen. 

 For a section, the limits of which are somewhat uncertain, 

 the name may perhaps be used in a subgeneric sense. 



Group T. 



The " species," so called, of this group are very closely 

 related, and, if bred, would probably have to be very greatly 

 reduced ; they differ chiefly in the width and form of the 

 dark borders to the wings.

 1 have very little doubt that this is merely a seasonal 

 variety of the preceding species.
