 The chrysalis of this species is enclosed in a slight cocoon, to 



which leaves are attached. 



It appears to me that at least five species have heen confounded 

 under this name ; of these three are already figured as follows : — 



1 . E. odora of Linnaeus, in which both sexes are alike in general 

 pattern and both shot with purple ; Drury's figure represents a 

 specimen in which the purple seems to have faded. Jamaica and 

 St. Domingo. 



2. E. odorata of Clerk, in which both sexes are again alike, but 

 different from E. odora, a strongly dentate whitish belt intersected 

 by black lines running through both wings. St. Domingo and New 

 Granada. 



3. E. agarista of Cramer, in which the male has a pale discal 

 sinuated belt, and the wings from the centre shot with rose-colour ; 

 whilst the female has the belt snow-white, intersected by black 

 lines and a feeble Hlacine tint beyond the centre of the wings. 

 Brazil. 



E. agarista is the most richly-coloured species. 



We also have a female from Havannah, which is certainly dif- 

 ferent, and examples of a species which seems to be distinct from St. 

 Kitts, Nevis, and New Granada. 



99. Phurys garnoti, Guenee, Noct. iii. p. 307 (1852). 



In my opinion this species would be better placed in Trigonodes 

 than in Phurys. 



100. Ach^ea indistincta, n. sp. 



Primaries red-brown, the base and a diffused belt beyond the 

 middle paler ; a nearly triangular subapical costal chocolate- brown 

 patch bounded externally by a white line ; an apical dark-brown spot ; 

 costa grevish : secondaries smoky brown, crossed at the middle by a 

 whitish stripe ; fringe white ; a submarginal sordid white spot near 

 the anal angle : body whitish. Wings below pale olive-brown, with 

 the basal area whitish ; primaries with an abbreviated sordid white 

 discal baud ; a bifid subapical white spot : secondaries with brown 

 discocellulars, followed by a white central band ; a marginal sub- 

 anal white spot ; fringe snow-white : body creamy-white. Expanse 

 1 inch 9 lines. 



Allied to A. eyllota. 



101. POAPHILA CINEREA, n. Sp. 



Ashy grey, wings with diffused chocolate-brown external area ; a 

 faint indication of an irregular central belt, expressed by zigzag 

 limiting lines ; an indistinct grey zigzag discal line across the brown 

 area ; primaries with a white spot at the inferior angle of the dis- 

 coidal cell. Under surface paler ; the outer edge of the indistinct
