E. Lapeyrousei was not previously in the Museum ; the 

 small species hitherto representing it in the collection proves 

 to be quite distinct; it is of the form and size of E. sepulchralis, 

 with the coloration of the E.-meh'na group. It may take the 

 name proposed for it by Dr. Boisduval, E. PaykuUei.

 Eupkea moesta, Butler, P. Z. S. p. 284, fig. 3 (1806).
