the characters ascribed to Pentila were formulated from an examina- 

 tion of this species. It follows therefore that to accept Tingra 

 tropicalis of Boisduval (a species unknown to Professor Westwood 

 when he characterized Pentila) as the type of the latter is a 

 proceeding which would render both descriptions of genera and 

 indications of their types utterly valueless.

Though very distinct in general appearance from the typical form, 

 the pattern of the under surface corresponds with that of T. pulcher, 

 of which 1 think it is probably the early brood.
