Mr. Wallace in l. c. describes very accurately the female of the 
next.speoies as that sex of Hewitsoni. The material received by me 
from Mr. Doherty enables me to correct the error into which Mr. 
Wallace, who evidently had never seen the female of Hewitsoni, 
very naturally fell, inasmuch as there is considerable similarity be- 
tween the two species. I append the following description of the 
female, which, with the plate, will make the matter quite plain. 
Female. Upper surface of both wings, which in form differ from 
those of the male simply in the absence of the sex mark near the 
costal margin of the secondaries, dark brown fading into pale fus- 
cous on the outer margins. Anterior wings traversed by a strongly 
curved macular band of submarginal white spots, more or less 
diffuse and indistinct near the costa and the external angle. A 
similar submarginal series of large oval white spots traverses the 
posterior wings ; they are, however, more sharply defined than on 
the primaries. The undersurface of the wings is as in the male 
which was well figured by Mr. Hewitson under the name of Leu- 
cocyma , save that the ground color is paler, a brownish gray, and 
the spots are all larger. Expanse of wings 80 mm. Described from 
three females in coll. Holland. $ , 9 •

u There can be no doubt that the white banded females are fe- 
males of the dark Hicetas, a point worth noting.” Doherty in 
literis. A careful study of the specimens abundantly confirms Mr. 
Doherty’s impressions derived from the observations made in the 
field. The female of this species is evidently a mimic of Euplcea
