The examination of Jones's ' Icones ' having shown T. Clielys of 

 modern authors to be distinct from the Fabrician species, which is 

 identical with Gnophodes Morpena (Westw.), Butler, the name of 

 Xantippe may be adopted for the Taygetis. The latter is most nearly 

 allied to T. Ypthima, Hiibner, but is larger, the upper surface is 

 brown, the front wing below pale brown, with three darker bands 

 relieved by a greyish ground on the apical margin, the apex fulvous ; 

 hind wings fulvous and ferruginous, with three darker equidistant 

 transverse strise and five ill-defined ocelli : varieties occur with a 

 blackish castaneous subcostal streak from the base to the apex of 

 the wings. We have this species from Brazil, obtained 1840, from 

 Mr. Children's Collection.
