of the primaries, which are fuscous, are checkered with black at the 

 ends of the nervules, and are conspicuously white at the apex and 

 at the inner angle. The specimen in Dr. Staudinger's collection 

 is labelled " melanina " in the handwriting of Mons. Mabille. The 

 published name is melania, and this of course stands.

The type was purchased from Doncaster with a lot of other 

 African material. Whether the locality label attached to the 

 specimen is correct I cannot be positively certain, as some of the 

 things bought at the time were plainly not from the localities 

 indicated upon the labels.

I only know this species by the description given by the author, 

 and the figure prepared by Mr. Horace Knight, which is reproduced 

 upon the plate. I place it in this section of the genus with much 

 doubt, but it plainly belongs here, rather than elsewhere.

Weymer in Stiibel's ' Eeise,' p. 126, pi. iv. fig. 5, describes and 

 illustrates a species from Ecuador as Hesperia micacea. Inasmuch 

 as Mabille's name drops as a synonym in the case of the present 

 species, that of Weymer should be allowed to stand for the species 

 he named.
