is filled with small irregular areolets/’ while in the front wing 9 and 
in the hind wing S 9 two regular ranks of areolets.'’^ Subse¬ 
quently on p. 281 it is observed that in H. Brightivelli it is only the 
hind wings S 9 that have the two regular ranks of areolets, the front 
wing of 9 having three. In pseudamericana 9 the front wing has 3— 5 
very irregular ranks; in texanaf 9 sp. 2—3. Again, T observe 
that in the hind wing both of my specimen and of the Uhlerian speci¬ 
men of americana % there are 3-~-4 irregular ranks of areolets, and 
that there are 2—3 in the hind wing of two out of three pseudameri- 
cayia % , as is also the case in rupinsulensis % Walsh, and in 4 or 5 
specimens out of 36 of rupamnensis % n. sp. Hence the characters of 
the subgenus Hetaerina must be modified, so as to assert simply that in 
the front wing S the postcostal area is filled with small irregular areo¬ 
lets, which is sufficient to distinguish that subgenus from the subgenus 
Lais, where “ the postcostal space of all 4 wings % 9 up to opposite the 
tip of the quadrilateral has two regular ranks of large areolets,’^ (Mo- 
nogr. p. 87.) in connection with the fact that the wings of % Lais have 
no basal red or brown spot, and those of % Hetmrina always have such 
a spot.

% . Differs from the preceding % only as follows :—Isif. The back of 
the head is green not blackish. 2nd. The large laminiform medial 
tooth on the superior appendage, instead of being convex at tip, is 
distinctly emarginate so as to appear bilobate, the anterior lobe the 
more prominent; and the tubercle on its superior surface is distinct. 
ih'd. The median vein in both wings above and below is scarcely ru¬ 
fous on its basal but rather carmine-red. The basal spot on the 
hind wing is less brown and more carmine-red; it attains the postcos¬ 
tal margin for 4 its length and nearly attains it the rest of its length, 
and its outline towards the tip,of the wing is almost straight instead of 
being conspicuously bidentate. btli. Only in one wing is there a ptero- 
stigma, and there it is no longer than broad and represented only by 
two thickened cross-veins with the intervening space hyaline; in the 
other 3 wings it is represented merely by a single thickened cross-vein.
