Dr. Boisduval, in his "Faune Entomologique de Madagascar," -describes (page 
30) and figures (plate 6) what he considers to be the male and female of Acfoea 
Ranavolana. I have recently received specimens taken in Copula of the species 
figured as the S with a ? in no way differing, and of- the ? with a $ only differ- 
ing in being rather srtialler; the latter must therefore be considered as a dis- 
tinct species, which I have named as above.
