170 Mr. Butler's Descriptions of 



SUB-FAMILY ACE^IN.E. Bates. 



GENUS ACTINOTE. Huhmr. 

 ■i9. Actinotc Griseata, n, sj). 



Allied to A. Amida, Init the red l)asal area of priiuaries 

 extending to middle of wing, exliiljiting a black o))li(|uely 

 transverse discoidal striole, as in A. Anteas ; the red 

 discal Ijand arched forwards, its outer edge undulated, its 

 external third yellow-tinted; secondaries grey with the 

 nervures dusky ; outer margin broadly dull Lrown : thorax

A tine distinct species. 



FAMILY ERYCINID^. Swaiusou. 

 SUB-FAMILY EBYCININ^. Bates. 



GENUS BARBICORNIS. Latreille. 

 49. Barhicornis BihqyJiina, n sjJ. 



Wings above black, the primaries very similar to B. 

 Basilis, but the inner orange patch terminating externally 

 upon first median branch ; secondaries with the nervures 

 grey : wings below paler, the nervures of secondaries 

 whitish : expanse of wings, 1 inch, 8 lines. 



" Brazil " from Gardener and Stevens. B.M. 



It is a "pity that we have no precise habitats for the 

 species of Barhicornis ; the present species is evidently 

 distinct from B. Basilis, from which it differs in its more 

 slender and scarcely l)arbed antenntv, (in addition to the 

 character of the coloration) ; its habitat is therefore sure 

 to be different.
