There is absolutely no doubt that the Jlammeata of Butler is the 

 female of the species described by him as ecclij'isis, though the 

 former has been identified by ^liskin as identical with donnysa. Hew., 

 a quite distinct species belonging to a different though closely allied 

 genus. 



3. Genus Hesperilla. 



Hesperilla, Hewitson, Hundred Hesp. p. 37 (1868). 



Type, ornata, Leach. 



Antennse : club slender, at an angle with the shaft, usually bent 

 to less than a right angle, tip acuminate. Palpi as in Telesto. 

 Fore wing : inner margin longer than outer margin ; cell less than 

 two-thirds the length of costa ,• discocellulars inwardly oblique ; 

 vein 5 equidistant from 4 and 6 or slightly nearer to 6 ; vein 3 

 shortly before end of cell, about twice as far from 2 as from 4 ; vein 



2 considerably nearer to end of cell than to base of wing. Hind 

 wing rather elongate in the male, more rounded in the female ; 

 vein 7 well before the end of cell ; discocellulars faint ; vein 5 not 

 traceable ; veins 2, 3, 4 all close togetlier from end of cell ; vein 3 

 twice as far from 2 as from 4 ; lower margin of cell slightly angled 

 at vein 2, abruptly at vein 3. Hind tibiae with two pairs of spurs, 

 upper pair minute. 



Male with a linear discal stigma on the fore wing, lying almost 

 at right angles to the inner margin, extending from just beyond the 

 lower angle of cell as far as but uot below vein 1.

Type, phigalia, Hew. 



Antennae : club rather robust, with a short terminal crook ; lip 

 acuminate. Palpi as in Telesto. Fore wing : inner margin longer 

 than outer margin ; cell less than two-thirds the length of costa ; 

 vein 12 reaching costa before the end of cell ; discocellulars slightly 

 inwardly oblique ; vein 5 practically equidistant from 4 and 6 ; vein 



3 shortly before end of cell ; vein 2 almost equidistant from base of 

 wing and end of cell. Hind wing evenly rounded ; vein 7 well 

 before the end of cell ; discocellulars and vein 5 very faint ; veins
