 second subcostal nervule, followed by a curved discal series of six spots placed between tbe nervules, 

 a submurginal series of eight spots, of which the tipper and innermost one i^ placed between the third and 

 fourth subcostal nervules, and a marginal series of smaller and more linear spots. Posterior wings dark 

 oli vac coiia- brown, with a large pale discoidal patch situated near costal margin, and indications of two

As Mr. Butler has himself admitted the identity of his E. plwehus and E. casteln&ui, Feld,,* 

 of which there can be no doubt, it becomes necessary to use the earlier and Folderian name to 

 this insect, though Butler still retains his own designation. f Borne uncertainty appears to have 

 arisen as to the exact date of Felder's descriptions of species of Knplov, Kirby giving 1867 \ as 

 the year of publication. Felder's plates bear date 1865, though the text is stated" to have 

 been published from 1864 to 1867, and as Butler himself § gives 1865 as the ilate of a 

 subsequent description by Felder, it is difficult to see why the apparent law of priority cannot 

 in this case be followed*
