Cramer has fignrcd two species under the name of Urtita. I have applied that name to his 

 Fig. F, which is the insect here {:iven at Fit^s. .50 and 51. I have some doubt whether his Figs. D 

 and E of the same Plate arc intended for the Butterfly to which I have given tlie name of Eutychus. 

 I think they are, although he does not represent the band which crosses the anterior wing, wliich may 

 be sometimes wanting, as in E. Urfita.
