OCCURRENCE OF N0R0F8IS FASTUOSA, GN.* AT LIMEHOUSE. 
BT J. B. LYNCH. 
This motli was found by Mr. Fletcher at hia premises, Union 
Dock, near the Limehouse entrance of the "West India Docks, on a 
skirting board fencing the path to the 
V J dwelling-house, and close to the ground. 
^ It was fluttering its wings, and craw- 
'0 ling, without attempting to fly, and 
^V-" :r:=^^< appeared to have recently emerged from 
i^P^ t^6 chrysalis. It was easily caught on 
i-cR. ^Q finger, and killed immediately. 
mropiisfastnosa, Gn. No conjccture Can be made by Mr. 
Fletcher as to its native country ; the 
dock close to which it was found being constantly used for the repairs of 
vessels trading to and from all parts of the world ; and it is easy to 
suppose that from some one of these it must have been thrown out in 
the chrysalis state, with the rubbish and dirt remaining after the 
delivery of the cargo. 
The time of day was about one o'clock ; the date the 19th of 
September, 1867. 
The present is not the only instance in which foreign insects have 
been observed, under similar circumstances, in the yard where this 
was found. 
The insect is in the possession of Mr. Wilson Messer. 
AN ESSAY TOWARDS AN ARRANGEMENT OP THE GENERA OF THE 
FAMILY SATYBID^. 
BT AETHUE a. BUTLEE, F.Z.S. 
The arrangement which I propose to adopt with the large group 
of insects comprised in the familv Safi/ridce is principally founded upon 
the structure of the discoidal cell of the hind-wings. I find that this 
character (if carefully adhered to) will separate the seventy-one Saty- 
I'ide genera into eleven sections, which I shall here distinguish as 
AtoK. 
I have restored the original names to some of the genera, they 
having undeservedly fallen into disuse ; but, as I quote the type species 
of each genus, I have thought it unnecessary to introduce the synonymy 
of such genera in the present paper. Several of the scarcer types have 
not yet passed through my hands, and may therefore not be correctly 
placed.

GloitulUla, inhabits Brazil, Columbia, Jaaiaica, &c.
