U HOP A LOCERA MA LA YANA .

This specie b varies greatly m size, the smallest specimen examined being a female and 

 expanding only 32 millim. As Mr. Hewitson pointed out, an excellent differential specific 

 character is found in the spot-like projection to the discal fascia on the under surface of the 

 anterior wings ; bnt when the describe* states that in the female the last spot of this fascia also 

 projects outwardly, he has described what is found on none of the specimens now before me. 



Mr. Hewitson recognised the identity of his A. hjpomuUi with the M amphivmta, Feld. f # 

 and though Mr, Butler states f that the two are quite distinct, and places them wide apart, 

 I have failed to find these differences. A closely allied species, A. epimuta, Moore, was ineludnl 

 by Mr. Butler in his catalogue of Ma lace an butterflies, ; but could not be found in the National 

 Collection, for the use of our artist, and so it is not included here.
