1866.] MR. A. G. BUTLER ON THE GENUS EUPTYCHIA. 459 



of which more than forty are new to science — besides three new 

 species in the collection of Mr. Osbert Salvin, and fifteen in that 

 of Mr. H. W. Bates. Mr. Hewitson has also kindly lent me several 

 typical specimens, and has given me permission to describe his new 

 species, which I intend to do as soon as possible in a supplementary 

 paper. 



Some two or three of the new species here described may prove 

 to be only varieties of insects described by Godart ; but I have 

 strictly followed out each of his descriptions with every new species 

 before describing it ; so that any error of this nature must be attri- 

 buted to the absence of figures of his insects.
