M. Godart has anticipated me in the first publication of 

 this, and a great many other newly discovered Brazilian 

 insects ; it has, however, not been figured ; and I take this 

 opportunity of expressing ray doubts, whether this and the 

 next are not sexes of the same species, rather than two, 

 permanently distinct. I have not, at this particular time, 

 the means of referring either to my notes or my collections, 

 by which the recollection I have on the subject might be in 

 some way confirmed ; and, until this is done, it is much 

 better retaining the two insects as distinct species : the 

 figures of both will show their very close resemblance, in 

 every thing but the bands on the upper surface of the wings. 

 I found them common in tlie province of Rio de Janeiro.
