  quent 
  argument 
  which 
  it 
  furnishes 
  against 
  the 
  adoption 
  of 
  

   proposed 
  genera, 
  resting 
  on 
  microscopic 
  detection 
  of 
  some 
  

   slight 
  variation 
  in 
  form 
  or 
  proportion. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  belief 
  that 
  the 
  insect 
  was 
  new 
  to 
  science, 
  it 
  was 
  

   described 
  by 
  me 
  as 
  Eudarnus 
  Orestes, 
  for 
  publication 
  in 
  the 
  

   28th 
  iT. 
  T. 
  St. 
  Mus. 
  Report, 
  then 
  passing 
  through 
  the 
  press 
  ; 
  

   but 
  in 
  the 
  necessitated 
  printing 
  of 
  the 
  Report 
  at 
  an 
  earlier 
  

   day 
  than 
  was 
  anticipated, 
  the 
  description 
  could 
  not 
  (together 
  

   with 
  other 
  papers 
  in 
  readiness) 
  be 
  given 
  place. 
  Hence, 
  the 
  

   erroneous 
  reference 
  made 
  to 
  Orestes 
  on 
  page 
  58 
  of 
  Edwards' 
  

   Catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  Diurnal 
  Lepidoptera 
  of 
  North 
  America. 
  

  

  Subsequently, 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  H. 
  Edwards 
  identified 
  the 
  species 
  

   with 
  a 
  figure 
  of 
  Butler 
  in 
  his 
  Lepidoptera 
  Exotica. 
  As 
  the 
  

   figure 
  is 
  accompanied 
  by 
  only 
  a 
  brief 
  diagnosis, 
  and 
  but 
  a 
  

   few 
  copies 
  of 
  the 
  work 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  this 
  country, 
  it 
  is 
  

   thought 
  that 
  the 
  above 
  description 
  may 
  be 
  of 
  service.
