5. Elymnias Phegea.

Not in the British-Museum collection. An examination of the 

 nearly allied E. BammaTcoo, Westwood, has discovered a rudimentary 

 spur upon the basal inner margin of the costal nervure in the hind 

 wings, and which, taken in conjunction with a raised ridge of scales 

 extending from it to the subcostal nervure, forms an artificial 

 prediscoidal cell, a character which will bring this genus near to 

 Brassolis, &c.

* Unless the male of P. Phegea is dimorphic (which aeeras unlikely), the whole 

 species is certainly distinct ; a careful comparison of the same sex of both forms, 

 in Mr. Druce's Collection, has shown me that even the pattern of the two insects 

 is not identical.
