562 Mr. Butler an Lepidoptera. 



One specimeu of this beautiful little species has escaped with 

 ouly the loss of i)art of an antenna, and a slight abrasion towards

Allied to Gracilaria, wings of the same form and character; 

 head considerably broader, shorter, smooth and shining ; palpi 

 unusually long, smooth, arched and standing on each side of the
