Pseudacrcea Euryta, from its great resemblance to the Planema 

 group of the Acrceince, has been confounded with them by LinnaBus, 

 Fabricius, Cramer, and others, the males being associated together 

 in the Linnaean and Banksian Collections (and indeed, until lately, 

 in the British-Museum collection). Fabricius, however, noticed 

 a difference between the two males, and accordingly described the 

 Pseudacrcea as a variety with black spots at the base of the wings. 

 Mr. Trimen considers that the proper position of the genus is next 

 to Romaleosoma, and he is probably right, though, in some respects 

 it seems more nearly to approach Diadema.
