but tlie black spots large and well-defined," will apply. To these 

 observations I answer by referring him back to my paper, where he 

 will find (in the first place) that in the description of D. thyter I 

 say " marginal black border of secondaries narrower {i. e. than in 

 D. pvlchell(i), tlie terminal quadrate projection very small;" and (in 

 the second place) that the description quoted by him does not pro- 

 fess to be that of an Indian species, but of a variety of D. pulchella 

 frequently occurring in Southern Africa.

Colonel Swinhoe describes a form answering to the male of this 

 species as in his collection from Upper Ttnasserim.

" Not uncommon here in September and October. I took a 

 female also this month (March 188:^) ; have, however, only taken 

 one male, which is smaller and of a uniform mouse-colour ; have 

 also a light brick-dust-coloured female from the Himalayas with the 

 transverse streak at the end of the discoidal cell, but without the 

 dots on each side of the streak." ' — G, S.

" Common here from September to February ; I have it also from 

 Suttara, taken in November." — C. S. 



It is to be regretted that Colonel Swinhoe has not sent the female 

 of this species, which is entirely unknown to me, and which would 

 be especially interesting as indicating the relationship of the genus. 



A specimen of Moore's Artaxa pygmcea (specific name pre- 

 occupied) was taken at Kurrachee in Mfiy 1879. Colonel Swinhoe 

 has taken it also in February and April.
