The true Itonia, Hiibn., in which the secondaries are not 

 angulated (though obtusely subangulated), has naked legs, and 

 no woolly clothing to the under surface of the wings.

Felder has incorrectly figured a worn example of the female 

 (Eeise der Nov. Lep. 4, pi. cxix. fig. 16) as B, irregularis. As 

 M. Guenee points out, the latter has an oblique orange-margined 

 blackish stripe through both anterior and posterior wings.

It is probable that our examples of the two preceding species 

 were obtained from Surinam, but it is impossible to trace their 

 origin. They are very old specimens, and may have formed part 

 of Drury's collection originally. 



Bendis poaphiloides of Guenee appears to me to be Walker's 

 Thermesia glaucescens, which is only a small form of his T. 

 suffusa = T. cinctifera. I have referred the species to the genus 

 Argidia, but our examples are all females, and therefore it is 

 possible that I may be wrong. In any case I do not believe the
