this most important contribution to Entomological knowledge, 

 for this is beyond question. 



Among the Noduce 1 recognize several species described by 

 Augustus Grote, Esq., as well as by Mr. Walker, but I leave 

 this section to those who possess a more intimate knowledge of 

 the group than I can pretend to. 



PLATE 79. 



Fig. 1. Castnia rutila, Eelder, l)elongs to the group of which 

 C. FoNSCOLOMBEi may be considered the type, and is 

 closely allied to that species. 



Fig. 3. Cadnia tricolor, Felder, = Castnia diva, Butler, Lep. 

 Exot., PL 17, fig. 1, (1870). 



Fig. 6. Synemon Icaria, Felder, = var. % Synemon l^bta. Walker. 

 Differs as near as can be judged from the figure, only in 

 having the black bands of the secondaries broken up into 

 spots. In the absence of letter-press it is impossible to 

 tell whether this is a permanent form or only an accidental 

 variation. 



Fig. 7, 8. Synemon parthenoides, Felder, is very near Synemon 

 Sophia, White, sp., the maculations of the secondaries 

 being similar, but the primaries longer, and their whitish 

 markings more distinct. Bears about the same relation 

 to Sophia that Icaria does to l.eta. 



PLATE 80. 



Fig. 1. Charagia Fischeri, Felder, is very near C. rubroviri- 

 DANS, Walker, but the specimens in the British jVIuseimi 

 of the latter species, are too worn to make the com- 

 parison absolute. 



Fig. 3. Pichi.s hydro(iraphus, Felder, = Pielus labyrinthicus, 

 Cat. Lep. Het.'li Mus., 1578, (1856). 



PLATE 82. 



Fig. 15. Letois sim/ll.'<, Felder, = Ne^era latistriga. Cat. Lep. 

 Het. B, Mus., 1141, (1855).
