Lepidoptera from Madagascar. 233 



It is possible, as the secondaries of this species are rather 

 shorter than in the Australian insects composing the genus 

 TrapeziteS) that it may have to be separated as the type of a 

 distinct genus ; the pattern and general coloration, the an- 

 tennas, form of primaries, and appearance are, however, so 

 exactly like Trapezites that I have hesitated to separate it. 

 1 Pamphila ' gillias of Mabille (Pet. Nouv. ii. p. 285, 1878) 

 seems to be an allied species *.

Antananarivo and Fianarantsoa. 



Although I have not seen the type of Gnathostypsis, this 

 species answers so well to the characters given by Dr. Wal- 

 lengren that I have little doubt of its being a second species 

 of that genus. 



* Five species of Hesperidse are described in this number of the 

 ' Petites Nouvelles : ' for my part I do not think that naturalists' adver- 

 tisement sheets ought to be used as media for describing new species. 

 Publication even in newspapers should, in my opinion, be ignored, much 

 more in two- to four-page advertising pamphlets.
