This is tbe Sinon of Doubleday's list, but a comparison of it with 

 the type of the Fabrician species in the Banksian collection shows it to be 

 abundantly distinct ; indeed, Mr. Doubleday subsequently became aware 

 of this fact, as is evident from a note in his private copy of Boisduval's 

 Species G-eneral, " Another sp. see Bank. Cabt." I am indebted for 

 this, and many other interesting notes upon Fabrician butterflies, to 

 Mr. Osbert Salvin, in whose possession Mr. Doubleday's copy of the 

 above work now is, and who kindly lent it to me, to assist me in my 

 Catalogue of the Rhopalocera of Fabricius. Zonaria is most nearly 

 allied to Pkilolaiis, from which, however, it is abundantly distinct.

This species is closely allied to Acasftis of Cramer, but differs in its 

 more robust form, in the wings being more brassy in colouring, with 

 scarcely a trace of the blue shot, and in the hind-wings below having a 

 scarlet (not yellow) band upon the outer margin. Mr. Hewitson pre- 

 ferred that I should describe this species. "We have a good series of 

 AcastuSj both sexes, not differing in colour.
