In the ' Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera ' the P. Crotopus of Cramer 

 (a species of Eurygona) is sunk into a synonym of P. Midas ; and in 

 Mr. Hewitson's ' Exotic Butterflies ' the same species is figured as 

 the Eabrician insect ; the description of the latter, however, will not 

 in any way apply to P. Crotopus ; it would better suit a Pyrrhopyra, 

 Eresia, Ithomia, or NympJiidium. Mr. Bates, in his catalogue of 

 Erycinidce, places P. Midas, with a note of interrogation, as a 

 synonym of P. Crotopus.
