Head and palpi ochreous chestnut^ the latter projecting three times the length of the 
head beyond it ; the middle joint enlarged near the base^ tapering towards the short slender 
apical joint : antennre ochreous^ not ciliated in the female. Fore wings — with the costa arched, 
especially towards the base ; the apex produced, apical margin concave — ochreous, with a faint 
purplish gloss ; the veins traceable in slender ochreous-chestnut lines connected at short 
intervals, especially over the apical portion of the wing, by minute transverse streaks of the 
same colour, giving a reticulated appearance ; a darker shade, tending obliquely inwards from 
the costa beyond the middle, is but slightly indicated ; an indistinct spot of tawny-fuscous 
scales lies on the upper edge of the cell, before the middle of the wing. Hind wings slightly 
emarginate below the apex, shining whitish, with a faint ochreous tinge, especially about the 
apical portion of the wing. Type $ . Expanse of wings 23 millimsi 
Vancouver's Island. From Dr. LyelFs collection. 
Walker originally created the genus "Begunna" for the reception of this species, and 
afterwards transferred it to the genus Teras. The type was long missing from its proper 
place in the collection, and was only lately found at the end of the series of " Teras" rostrana 
immediately above it. 
There can be no doubt that this is the specimen described by Walker under the name 
Beffunna xanthoides ; but in the generic description there are two remarkable errors : one is 
the statement that the "exterior border'' is "convex" (the word must have been intended 
to be concave, a conspicuous character in this insect) ; the other is the asserted absence of a 
proboscis, which, althoiigh not easily observed, can be detected by a careful examination. 
I have no doubt that this is the female of Leptoris breviornatana of Clemens ; and if it does 
not belong to the more comprehensive genus Cenopis of Zeller, in which I have placed it with 
some hesitation, Walker's genus Begunna must probably be retained on the ground of priority. 
Before coming to the genus Dichdia, Walker describes : —

Head, thorax, and antennae ochreous brown; patagia ochreous ; palpi brown, paler beneath, 
projecting beyond the head scarcely more than its length ; the apical joint depressed ; abdomen 
brown, the anal tuft ochreous ; legs pale yellowish grey. Fore wings ochreous yellow, with 
an oblique chocolate-brown fascia extending from before the middle of the costa nearly to the 
dorsal margin, and a broad chocolate-brown patch from beyond the middle of the costa 
covering the whole apical third of the wing, the pale ground-colour forming a sinus on the 
middle of its inner side ; this patch is sometimes connected with the outer edge of the central
