the genus is allied to Campylotes of Westwood, 
described in Professor Royle’s work on the Natural 
History of the Himalaya mountains. * It is allied

the insects composing this family are more allied to 
the Zygenidw than the Lithosiadai : they appear to 
have been greatly neglected, and it is the more re- 
markable, as they are certainly some of the most 
beautiful of the Lepidoptera.”
