At the same time that I have reason to congratulate myself at having been able, through 

 the kindness of my friends Mr. George Semper of Altona, and Mr. Atkinson of Calcutta, to 

 add so many beautiful new species to this genus, I have to regret the delay which they have 

 caused in the progress of the work. These specimens, and those of Myrina, have been lent 

 me from a distance, and I could no longer delay their publication. I have therefore thought 

 it best, whilst adding to these, to complete the other genera at the same time and up to the 

 same date. Other friends, Mr. Bates and Mr. Saunders, whose collections of the genus 

 Thecla have been several years in my keeping, will, I hope, forgive this digression.
